Animal testing is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study. Examples of applied research include testing disease treatments, breeding, defense research, and toxicology, including cosmetics testing. In education, animal testing is sometimes a component of biology or psychology courses. There is no nationwide ban on animal testing in the United States. The humane society estimates that more than 50 million dogs, cats, monkeys, rabbits, rats and other animals undergo testing each year in the US.

@8GQP23H5yrs5Y
No use prisoners on death row
@8S3VF3V4yrs4Y
@8RYV4BP4yrs4Y
no and abolish all animal testing and use of animals by humans, unless in case of a guardianship. But that means no "breeding"!!
@cwsharpless4yrs4Y
Yes, but it should be more strictly controlled
@8Q52Z7P4yrs4Y
Make it publicly known what this testing does to animals. I was grown before I realized that cosmetic were injected into animals.
@8PJJ4HK4yrs4Y
Yes, but only when necessary and they must publicly disclose what the testing entails and provide adequate care to the subjects.
@8NCJQZR5yrs5Y
Only in accordance with humane practices
@8LWLXGG5yrs5Y
Yes, but not for cosmetics, and if the animal is well taken care of and not abused while being tested on for vaccines than its fine.
@8LQRM6M5yrs5Y
Only if treated humanely
@8KW4GKS5yrs5Y
Yes, but there should be a massive increase in human testing as well. Such as voluntary nomination for inmates with life-sentences.
No, that in some cases it can be considered cruel and abusive.
@8JG5NQG5yrs5Y
I believe that human testing is the better option that using animals, because our biology is different that an animals. Just use death row convicts to use in experiments.
@8HCPSK95yrs5Y
no, instead increase the funding for volunteer based testing in companies
@pebble12175yrs5Y
Yes, as well as human volunteers for testing. The best and quickest medical advancements in the world were done on humans. While before it was against their will, now people should be paid to test as well as obviously be informed of the risks. Morals often make scientific and medical advancement take too long.
@8GCKDK65yrs5Y
No, animal testing is ineffective at determining results on humans.
Use of lab rats as the acceptable model for human beings is acceptable; never use poor animals such as dogs and cats, horses and pigs, etc.
@8F4PCNB5yrs5Y
Yes, but not in harmful ways
@8F4PCNB5yrs5Y
Yes, but not in any harmful ways.
@8D4M2ST5yrs5Y
No, Animals often have far different reactions to tests than humans
@8CS82MZ5yrs5Y
Yes, with strict regulations.
@8CRDMSZ5yrs5Y
No, use convicted pedophilic & murderous felons.
@8CHXVHJ5yrs5Y
Yes, but more regulations for quality of life need to be added.
@8CG6CX55yrs5Y
Only for life altering cures not just to see a chimp eats the face of another with bath salts
@8GDVY8B5yrs5Y
Only if absolutely necessary and monitored
