We will release the animals when we get whatever we want.

Animals. We humans are too. Obviously, we need a solution to animal testing. Each and every creature on this earth feels pain and deserves the right to live a natural, full happy life. Although humans need medication and new products, we should NOT test them on any creature. Life is too precious. Humans absolutely do not have the right to hurt an animal or take its life.

Thank you!

Animals shouldn't be used for testing they have the right to live and if we kill them off that means we will be the new test subjects, so let animals live so they can enjoy this beautiful world like we have.

My opinion is animals should be tested on because when we find the cure to cancer we will use it for all animals and humans so if you think it's cruel how about they take you and do it to you they and you'll be messed up so keep animal testing to save the humans!

No animal should be used for drug testing, it's cruel. I think they should drugs on people in prison who have the death penalty, so that way if they die, it wouldn't matter.

Scientists are mostly using the drugs on rabbits and mice. Those two animals are pests. They breed extremely quickly and humans are already killing them off. If they are used for testing drugs they are helping out humanity. Mousetraps, animal and humans are killing the animals but there are still absolutely heaps of them left.

Using animals for testing new drugs is completely wrong! how would you like it if some strange animal came up to you, brought you to a strange workshop and forced you to eat unseen things? - maybe food!

All of us has given our point of view and all of us are thinking that whatever we wrote or whatever we think is totally right. But I want to question, one, who wrote that animals should not be used for medicinal purposes. The person who support this statement, what are you thinking?

If we would not utilize animals for the development of new medicines then how would we able cure the spreading diseases. If we would not utilize animals then on whom shall we do experiments? I think you all don't even realize that we the humans consume more animals than animals used for testing.

First of all without animal testing there would be about 35% less humans in the world, and animal testing is alright because the animals used are easily replaced such as rats and birds. You must realize that humans consume over 80% more pigs, cattle, and chickens then animals that are used for testing.

Over 340 pigs are consumed for every one animal tested on. Though I admit that animals may have emotions and a consciousness, but you must remember without animal testing a lot of drugs, shampoos, toothpastes, and MANY other products you use everyday you would not have. Also you must remember that in testing dogs, cats and other more domesticated animals are not used. Rats, birds, and rarely chimps (monkeys) are used for testing.
