Some animal tests have been replaced altogether by the combined use of computer simulations and mathematical modeling as well as in vitro methods. In today’s labs, blood can now be extracted from horseshoe crabs to measure the presence of long-lived bacterial toxins instead of needing to test live rabbits for the fever-producing abnormalities of intravenous therapies. Also thanks to knowledge gained from using rabbits to test for human pregnancy, researchers were able to develop pregnancy test kits for use at home. These kits eliminate the need to use animals any further in pregnancy tests.
Animals were used to develope the home pregnancy test, this is a legit website and I'll copy and paste it for you.
Thanks to everyone who was polite, and ha ha to those who thought a home test couldn't work on animals.

Go here, it's a site on animal testing, it's near the bottom of the first page.

Yeah yeah, I don't believe in animal testing either. I just chose this site in particular because it talks about the question I asked earlier.
