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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!.
