Do you agree or disagree that some testing on animals is needed and acceptable for things like drugs to save human lives, etc. Drug testing for cosmetics and such aren't a necessity in life. Do you agree or disagree?

NO! I do not believe that ANY animal testing is necessary. I think that in order to gain accurate information, testing should be done on individuals suffering from specific conditions (with their full consent, of course). Animals don't understand why we as humans hurt them, they just want to be loved. Animal testing is cruel and inhumane. Its wrong no matter how you look at it!

I do not beleive that any animal even needs to be tested on. What is the point of testing a product on animals if it will never be ued by animals. I have never gotten that. I believe that a human will react differently than an animal so why put them through that.

my instincts are to say if people must buy all the gunk that passes for cosmetics these days they should do so at their own risk. However when it comes down to medicine, if it is down to my kids being damaged or something being tested on animals im afraid the bunny gets it every time blessed be

Yes I do believe that testing on animals is acceptable if not necessary. How else could researchers develope cures for deseases. It is unfortunate for the animals, but rather them than human beings. As for cosmetics testing on animals, definitely not. We are aleady inflicting enough on the poor defenceless animals, without using them for our own vanity.
