The practice of animal testing dates back to the Greeks. Before applying surgical procedures to humans, animals were used to verify the method. Louis Pasteur induced anthrax in sheep proving his germ theory. Ivan Pavlov used dogs to demonstrate classical conditioning. Insulin was isolated in dogs. Antibiotics and a vaccine for leprosy was developed in armadillos. In 1996, Dolly the Sheep was the first mammal to be cloned.
Drug testing using animals became a significant part of the drug development process. To avoid new drugs from coming on the market and causing bad reactions, Congress passed a law in 1937 requiring the new drug to be tested on animals first.
Many people argue that the wonderful gift of medicine wouldn't be here without the help of animal testing, however some people are asking for animal testing to be banned, because of how many die from it.
Without animal testing there would be no medicine as we understand today.Insulin penicillin and chemotherapy exist only because of this crucial work
No, because they mostly die after testing and the testing is for human medicine. So, even if the testing works on the animal it may not work on us because of different body systems. So again, the answer is NO!
laboratory testing (chemical or cell), animal testing, testing on healthy humans, clinical trials

yes it does use animal testing because it is medicine.
It certainly does help. If it's fair to them or not, that is the question.
Animal testing is really wrong! Animals are just as importent as we are! They help keep people alive sometimes!
ask a vet maybe will help
Animal testing graphs on how many die and get injured go to ..... not graphs but figure which will help.... http://www.animalport.com/animal-testing/animal-testing-facts-figures.html
NO!!!! all animal testing and is wrong! We all must stop using products that have been tested on animals. Just stop animal testing. use natural producst. Ask someone at stores where you buy your stuff were the natural/products not tested on animals! Medicine is slightly acceptable but cosmetic testing is down right wrong.
