Answer 1

I don't think we need to test any more cosmetics, oven cleaners, shampoo....anything like that. We have enough already.

Drugs are a different story. We need more and different medications. Anyone who takes Tylenol, has gotten vaccines, has had surgery...all are supporting animal medical testing.
If you give your pets vaccines, heartworm prevention,flea control, or had them spayed or neutered....you are supporting animal medical testing.

Without it, NONE of those things would exsist!!

What does "we don't need it for humans" mean??? That we don't need to test on animals because humans and animals react differently to medications????

Well, that is true. They test drugs in trials on humans AFTER they have been tested on animals. Know what a LD 50 is. That is the dose at which the medication kils 50% of the subjects it is given to. Generally mice or rats are used for this. Can't use people for that. You need to make some determinations before testing on people.

Answer 2

I don't agree with animals being tested for things like make-up, however some animal testing is a good thing. Thanks to their sacrifices, animals have provided us with treatments for cancer, AIDS, neurological diseases, rabies, distemper, small pox, anthrax, diabetes, liver and heart disease, genetics, spiral cord injuries, strokes, organ transplants, insulin discovery, polio prevention, etc. So some animal testing has really helped to advance the medical field (for both humans AND animals). Like I said, I don't agree with testing make-up and other unnecessary things on animals, and I don't like to think about the animals being tested on and dying, but animal testing has done a lot to help other animals and humans. Without some animal (and human) testing, we could never learn about certain diseases and how to treat or even cure them, so it's not always a bad thing.
