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!!

Medical testing on animals is viewed as right to some people. To others animal testing is not a good thing at all.
Does medical testing do more harm than good?
yes, in many cases of animal testing animals die and or get very sick during the testing process.
How do you know animal testing is for a good cause?
Without animal testing, humans would have a greater risk of dying if expirementing with products that people have no idea whether it is harmful or harmless. Personally I don't agree with animal testing, but what other choice do we have?
Does guerlain do animal testing?
According to PETA.com Vichy does use animal testing for some of its products. And it is good to keep in mind that Vichy is owned by L'Oréal Paris, one of the biggest animal testing companies on the planet.
Are there good animal tests?
The only way that any animal testing is "good" is because if it is safe on the animal, then it is generally safe on the person. This makes products for people safe to use. You have to weigh this up with the need though. Is it always needed to torture hundreds of animals for your makeup? This is why some people choose only to support medical animal testing, or no animal testing at all.
Do scientist's use endangered animals for animal testing?
There isn't any. To do animal testing, you need quite a lot of animals to get reliable results. What happens to ONE animal, once, might just be random. And if something should be discovered later on, someone might need to go back and repeat the tests. Endangered animals are animals that are rare. Either hard to find, or not many left, or both. Ignoring everything else, it'd simply be hugely impractical to use endangered animals for animal testing.
Why is animal testing good for humans?
it's good because it means humans don't suffer and it will benfit us for years as due to animal testing we have learnt more about illness and we know how to cure them. also you dont have to ask for the animals permisson to use them.
What happens to the animals used in animal testing?

Advantage and Disadvantages of Animal Testing?
Reasons For Animal TestingMedical Advancement: The most obvious advantage of animal testing is for medical experimentation. Advancements in medicine help people, animals, and even plants. Unfortunately, the best way to test potentially new medicines is through animal testing, and if initially successful, then by human testing too. It is considered more humane to do medical testing on animals first, then on humans first, for the obvious reason that human life is considered more precious than animals. Additionally, new medicines can also help animals too, so this falls under the philosophy of the needs of the many (animals) outweigh the needs of the few (animals). Meaning the few animals that are sacrificed or tested upon is worth less than the many animals that are potentially saved or helped, thus helping the greater good is more morale. Of course, this opinion is subjective to each person.Product Safety: Another popular reason for animal testing is for determining the safety of products, such as cosmetics testing. In theory, animals used for safety testing are typically not killed and remain healthy, however they are often maltreated. Again, it is commonly considered that the safety of people outweighs the safety of animals, thus animal testing for safety is common.Scientific Knowledge: Animal testing and experimentation is an excellent source to increase scientific knowledge. No one knows what knowledge that will be attained through animal testing, so the value of such animal testing cannot be ascertained ahead of time or even guessed. The most common examples of animal experimentation for scientific knowledge are animal biopsies and vivisections in schools to teach children biology and medical procedures. While this type of animal testing might not yield immediate useful results, it has been helpful in the long term of helping science.Accuracy: Finally, the biggest reason for animal testing is because it works better than any other alternative. Why animal testing can yield results different than human testing, the similarities between animals and humans is staggering and thus helpful to mankind.Reasons Against Animal TestingTorture and Suffering: Animals undergoing testing can be subjected to torture and suffering. Alternatively in some cases, some animals may be even cured of their ailments and diseases during the process of animal testing.Death: Animals can, and sometimes often, die in the process of animal testing.Ethics/Morality: The ethics and morality of testing on animals is often debated. A large number of people do not believe animal testing is ethical, however they often concede that it is necessary.Choice: Since animals cannot volunteer for animal testing, then some people believe animal testing is not ethical. These people believe that it is only ethical to test on subjects who willingly give their consent for self testing.Accuracy: As mentioned before, animals are different than people, thus their testing results are not always useful or practical for human comparisons. Therefore, if the usefulness of animal testing is in question, then animal testing should be reconsidered.Price: Finally, the price of keeping and disposing of animals can be quite high. That is why testing, on computer simulations, has increased recently. However, the accuracy of computer simulations is less than animal testing.
