The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see...Honestly, I'm not going to lie, I have no problem with it if it doesn't involve pain. If it involves pain, then no, you probably shouldn't be doing it. But they breed rats for this because apparently their skin is close to the human skin or something. I dunno, but I know they often use rats for it, not like, exotic animals. I know it doesn't make much of a difference to you guys, but I'm just saying that it's not like they were plucked out of the wild so you can put some lipstick on them. But like I said, these animals were bred for the testing and as long as it doesn't involve pain or anything nasty it doesn't bother me too much. It's not like I'm happy with it, don't get me wrong, It just doesn't make me go "OMG GIVE ME THAT RAT!!" ...and knows what the mind cannot understand.

For it!
I agree with animal testing as long as it's not for things like make up or shampoos.
Did you know that they can now grow ears onto the backs of mice and painlessly remove them? So if your ear gets chopped off by a lawnmower, you can have a replacement ear?
You know that medicine you took for that bout of pneumonia you had? Tested. Every medicine, vaccine, vitamin supplement, or topical cream you have ever used has been tested.
I don't think a lot of you quite get the animal testing process. Basically, it involves the making of the product. The product's composition is run through multiple computers, to catch things such as birth defects, life ending strands, etc. They then test the product virtually on virtual animals and see the results. Then they are tested on live animals, results again viewed. THEN they test on humans, with the FDA's approval. This audience has signed a waiver and understands the possible side-effects. If this checks out as good, the product is released to the general product.
So some of you would rather we didn't find the cure for AIDS, HIV, diabetes, multiple organ failures?
There is little to no cruelty involved in the animal's lives. A friend of mine, also an animal enthusiast, worked many years at a research facility. A co-worker of hers was upset one day and slammed the cage door to the female mouse cage shut. He was promptly fired. Can we say low stress and cushy lifestyle?
