Animal experiments are designed to discover the effect of procedures and drugs on living things. Although animals and humans have different physiologies, many side effects and problems can be discovered. Animal testing provides data on medical treatments that are later used on other animals or on humans. The prevailing sentiment in the Western world is similar to that long espoused in some Eastern religions : that animals deserve to be respected as living beings. This oftens conflicts with their use in research, and has led to numerous changes and restrictions.
------------
Animal experimentation is a scandal that has been hidden from the American public. We have been lead to believe that the animals used in experiments are well treated and that the procedures performed on these animals are thoroughly regulated and governed by Federal Laws. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Over 90% of the animals used in experimentation are purposely excluded from protection under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA -- the only federal law that governs animal experimentation). Rats, mice, birds, and many other species have been expressly eliminated from all safeguards. Violations of the Animal Welfare Act by labs have increased by over 90% in the last five years.
The AWA places no real restrictions on what can be done to an animal during an experiment. Animals are routinely subjected to addictive drugs, electric shock, food & water deprivation, isolation, severe confinement, caustic chemicals, burning, blinding, chemical and biological weapons, radiation, etc. The "scientist" in question only has to say that a specific procedure is "necessary" for the experiment, and it is allowed. The goal is not to protect the animal; the goal is to insure that the experiment proceeds -- at any cost.

Animal testing is often conducted as an initial step to assess the safety and efficacy of drugs or procedures before human trials.

Human trials are essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatments for human use.
