Animal studies alone are insufficient to prove that the product is both safe and effective in humans.
Some drugs are difficult to test in animals... for example, AIDS drugs, since HIV is human-specific. However, some indications can be had by testing it against related viruses like SIV.
new medicines are tested to ensure that they work on the right aspect of what they are made for and to see if any side-effects can be harmful or worse, fatal, to human beings.

Microscopes help humans by magnifying by many times things which would normally not be visible to the human eye, such as bacteria, viruses, protons, atoms etc. How it helps, is by viewing such things, we learn their behaviour and therefore how to control or use them. Developing drugs to combat viruses etc..
Biotechnology advancements aim to improve the quality of life by producing more efficient crops, genetically superior animals and drugs. The enhanced products may have better taste or quality, may rot slower (agricultural products), may produce more milk (animals) etc
After testing and approval, then they can be used on humans.
Experimental drugs and vaccines are tested on animals. Other medicines that are tested on animals include new cancer drugs and medicine for HIV.
Depends on who you ask. Since you're asking my opinion, I think yes, they should. I'm not fond of animal testing, but what it provides for humans is worth the cost to the animals. I find it reprehensible for things like cosmetics, but when it comes to testing drugs or treatments for human health and safety, humans come first.
yes, they should be tested
People say that animal rights activists favor animals more than humans. For example, PETA says that they won't let new drugs be tested on animals even if it helps to cure AIDS.

Animals should not be used for drug development or medical research for the following reasons: Animals are killed and kept in captivity for the extent of their lives. A lot of the things tested on animals are never even used. It is expensive to keep animals alive for the sole purpose of testing drugs and other devices on them. Animals and humans are not the same.
Regulated drugs are medications that are followed and tested to ensure they are good to use on humans. If they are not regulated, they may harm humans.
Some disadvantages of using animals in medical tests are the animals are held captive or killed, it is costly, the substances tested may never be used and the differences between animals and humans. A few advantages are researchers are able to find drugs and drugs are ensured to be safe.
After clinical animal trials at: Phase 1 - small group of healthy volunteers are tested
Drugs are usually tested on mice, and the reason why is because mice respond almost the same as humans
