Please remember the words of writer "all living beings are owners of this earth". We should respect other animals right also. On the other hand we should not turn our face to the latest developments in scientific technologies. So be aware of our act. Not the technology alone makes our ecosystem balanced!.

From Feeling point of view, I will say NO. Because every animal is having same feeling as human being. The only thing is that they can not express it like us.
We can have some clones on which we can do experiments. Because, these clones are made by us only. And we have the right to destroy something which we have created. Not for the things which we have not created.
But from cloning point of view, it is not a simple cup of tea to produce a clone. And we can not experiment on human beings. So, Yes, animal can be used for testing new drugs and medical procedures. That's all.

Animals don't deserve rights. Test as many drugs as you can on them! Kill all the ones that are indangered then you don't have to hear about them being indangered all of thet time!

In a way using animals is not a right way but if we think in a economic manner then we should test drugs on them (the species which are large in proportion). We complain India is developing country not developed why because we are held back by our feelings, sentiments whereas america sees nothing and I guess thats the reason they are a developed country and if we eat animals so there is nothinhg wrong in that its a part of food chain.

Add to, animals that being tested are not in danger; rats, dogs, mice, and rabbits. As a result, death of these animals does not cause problems to our planet-earth.

I think animals also have the right to live. Though god has not gifted them speech yet they speak!by crying!on the basis of economic development we should develop. But where animals are killed can it be called as 'development' true and genuine economic development is there where new products are made without harming the wildlife. Scientists should develop some other ways of testing products. And obviously there is too much of technology.

Why not ? Animals should be used for testing new drugs before we test on human being. The human beings are more precious than animals. If we lose one animal it is not such a big loss as well loss a single person. It is the law of nature many animals eats other short animals for food and also human eat animals. It is natural and it is very necessary to test the drugs before testing on human being but before testing we should keep in mind that the species of animals which we are using are not going to vanish and the test is necessary.

Yes, as human beings cannot be get into testing directly we need to go for the animals. They are the speechless creatures what is going to be done with them but to invent some drugs for curing diseases we really need animals. I think it is a selfish human act for their survival sometimes some of them is for animals too. Human being is also an animal but he is master of all these animals. So, it will be through animal which can be used for testing newly invented drugs and medical procedures.

Animals also a heart as a heart of human. If human have a pain as well as animals also have pain. They have also right to live freely in this world. Scientists should develop some other ways of testing products. And obviously there is too much of technology. We cannot do our experiments on animals. "apni jaan bachane ke liye kisi dusre hi jindagi ko chenana " its no a good idea. This is not a proper way of development.
