Peta has a list of the places that have animal testing, and the places that don't.

There would probably be a lot of things on that site that would be useful for you. Just click around.

Animal testing has helped to develop vaccines against diseases like rabies, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and TB.
Antibiotics, HIV drugs, insulin and cancer treatments rely on animal tests. Other testing methods aren't advanced enough.
So, animal testing has saved countless human lives, and will save many more in times to come. Even the much-famed Linda McCartney used drugs that had been tested on animals when push came to shove.
I don't know about you, but if it came to me choosing between the life humans, especially including women and children, or animals I wouldn't even have to consider the answer.
@ Max Marie. The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine is as bad as Peta. They are an animal rights group who've links with animal extremism, and definately not the best place to go for a balanced argument, to say the very least.
Our Physiology is not the same as any other animal, no, not even chimps, you're very right. That this is true doesn't stop animal testing being the best means of testing new drugs and medicines we have available to us. Computers are simply not yet good enough to do the job and I assume you'll see the problems with testing untested drugs on humans. I think there'd be few willing volunteers anyway.
On the other hand, many of the differences in physiology can be controlled for these days, and it is an effective means of research.

This answer is in response to Andy.
Andy, animal testing is only "beneficial" to the animals tested. Our physiology is not that of a dog, cat, monkey, mouse, rabbit, cow or any of the other animals tested on.
See the "Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine" for the truth about animal testing.

also, telephone them and ask them for the compassionate shoppers guide.
it is a mini pamphlet with all the bad companies (and the subsidiaries they try to hide behind) to carry around.
