13, 000 animals died due to animal testing in 2009. A majority of these deaths were due to cross breeding, as scientists try to create more animal species.(cross breeding is when scientists combine two genes from two different animals.)

Who thinks animal testing is bad?
I for one think that animal testing is horrible. The animals have know idea what chemicals are in there that can cause them to die! =(
What products are ok to test in animals?
I think none! Testing products on animals is animal testing which I strongly disagree with! Animal testing, if it goes wrong its the animal that suffers. Animal testing can put a lot of stress and pain on animals. I think that animals deserve rights to be free of being tested with things that cause them pain and even kill them.
What are arguments for and against testing on animals?
Some of the arguments for are that it saves human lives, humans are superior to animals and the animals do not know that its happening. Some of the arguments against animal testing are its cruel to animals, animals have rights as well, you should treat animals the same as humans and theres alternatives out there to animal testing. On one side you have the for the other against. The opposing position against probably says it is nessacary for the animal testing because animals are about the same as humans. On the against position animal testing is wrong because it can cause the animal deadly pain and diseases. But I think there should be a human in the place of an animal because animals have feelings.

Yes it is very wrong! Think about it. They have no idea if their product is going to cause a reaction. The animal could suffer from allergic reactions, skin conditions, and could have fatal results. In my opion testing makeup on animals is animal abuse.

hehe... honestly i do not know but i think so cause we die if electric shock
How many animals die every 12 years due to animal testing?
Estimates say that anually; 60 to 100 million veribrate animals worldwide are being used for testing. 70% of these are mice or rats. Most animals are used in only one procedure: animals either die because of the experiment or are euthanized afterwards. Scientists and governments state that animal testing should cause as little suffering to animals as possible, and that animal tests should only be performed where necessary. Although such principles have been welcomed as a step forwards by some animal welfare groups, they have also been criticized as both outdated by current research, and of little practical effect in improving animal welfare.
Why is animal testing wrong?
Animal Testing is WRONG. Think of all the suffering animals lives being torn apart for no apparent reason. It may help to cure cancer, but innocent lives are being taken just to try and experimEnt. Is it wrong? Yes. Help rebell against animal testing! animals are put through torture, so stop animal testing!
Should animals be used for scientific researches?
If you think about it humans are animals it is just that we are the only kind of animal that can stand on two feet and we can communicate with each other so testing on animals is almost like testing on one of your friends or a member of your family I love animals and i don't like seeing them being hurt so please help the cause to stop animal testing :)
In animal testing labs how many animals die a year but for a good cause?
All of the animals that die in labs die for a good, life-saving cause. No one knows how many die because of the secracy that has to surround them for the safety of the workers there. However the number is just over half of what it was in the 1970's due to new computer technology.I say not because it makes the animals population drop!!that's not a good thing!!STOP ANIMAL TESTING FOR THE SAKE OF ANIMALS!!
How is animal testing inhumane?
There are pro's and cons to animal testing. It can help discover life saving treatments for humans and other animals. However, it is sometimes said that animal testing is inhumane because the animals are in pain, or are not taken care of. However, there are government standards on research labs. The animals do not feel pain, and even though they may die eventually, they often live as long as a normal household pet.
Is animal testing cruel?
No. Animal testing is a necessary part of research. Animal testing has advanced our technology and medicine. Practicaly every medical breakthrough in recent years has been due to research with animals. For example, treatments for TB, AIDS/HIV, smallpox, polio, cancer, and other devestating illnesses could only have come up (ethically) as a result of animal testing. Additionally, not only do humans benefit, but so do animals. Veterinarian treatments (i.e. treatments for animals) are largely also the result of animal testing. Research on animals has also uncovered new ways on how to treat better treat animals. Had animal testing not existed, it is very unlikely that our healthcare and well-being would be as advanced as it is today. When working with animals, scientists are expected to follow a code of ethics. Included in this code are the 3Rs: Replacement: Scientists must exhaust alternative means to get the results without testing on the animals themselves. For example, instead of testing on animals, the answers can be found from archival video clips of nature, or from computer modeling. In other words, animal testing must only done as a last resort. Reduction: If testing on animals is necessary, scientists must use as few animals as possible. Refinement: When animal testing is necessary, scientists must refine their methods taken to eliminate any unnecessary suffering caused to the subjects. For example, if an animal must be opened to view something, the animal must be anaesthized, and if it is necessary to kill the animal, it must be put down in a humane manner. Unfortunately, there are indeed occasions where some researchers inflict unnecessary cruelty on animals, such as the Silver Spring monkey case. However, to use this to brand all animal testing as cruel is like using workplace abuse cases to brand all businessness as evil. No respectable scientist is motivated by sadism or desire to cause harm to animals. Remember, scientists are just as human as any other person on earth, and sometimes they make mistakes that have consequences. This is no more flawed than a person trying to rescue and free animals, only to unknowingly and unintentionally kill them. It is lamentable that animals are subject through this, but it is a sacrifice that is necessary for the better.
