Answer 1

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

The verse above GOD said that man have dominion over the animals, so as a Christian, animal testing is not prohibited for the sake of mans health.

“I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.”—Abraham Lincoln
All too often religion, which should direct the human spirit toward compassion for all beings, is used as an excuse for the brutal exploitation of animals. Today the human race causes more suffering than has been experienced in the entire accumulated history of the Earth! In factory farms alone, millions of feeling, sensitive, intelligent beings are condemned to an entire life of continuous living hell only ending in unimaginable horrible deaths. These huge factory farms also create a dangerous pollution problem for all God's Earth. The following sites may help with questions about your religion and animals. Hopefully they will help humans to become the truly compassionate beings we where meant to be.

I don't normally say this about other countries I know nothing about BUT one thing I know is this -
STOP ALL ANIMAL TESTING!!
If they want to do any kind of testing then they should do it on themselves or participating people whom don't care what the out come /s.
Leave the fricken animals alone.

Answer 4

God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them: "Be fertile and multiply and fill the earth. Dread fear of you shall come upon all the animals of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon all the creatures that move about on the ground and all the fishes of the sea; into your power they are delivered. Every creature that is alive shall be yours to eat; I give them all to you as I did the green plants. (Genesis 9:1-3)

The Catholic Church teaches:

+ It is a sin to cause animals to suffer or die needlessly.

+ It is not a sin to kill animals with as little suffering as possible for food, clothing, and the health and safety of humans.

+ Medical and scientific experimentation on animals is a morally acceptable practice if it remains within reasonable limits and contributes to caring for or saving human lives.

With love in Christ.
