No, animals and humans react differently. Humans should volunteer or be paid for testing, or use it as a replacement for/alternative to the death penalty for violent criminals.

 @B4LP829answered…3mos3MO

I don't think animals would atleast most of the time have the Same affects from us, let alone the fact the animal could be anything but a mammal

 @9ZWDBC5answered…7mos7MO

Yes, under controlled, limited and humane circumstances, and where alternatives have been exhausted. All use of animals in testing that would be considered in any way cruel should be banned.

 @9ZW7VF2answered…7mos7MO

Yes but they should minimise suffering as much as possible and use alternative routers where possible

 @9ZVBC5Ranswered…7mos7MO

More in vitro methods should be used when possible instead of in vivo and more funding for new research and development of anti-animal testing in vitro methods

 @9ZR5NLDanswered…8mos8MO

Yes as long as it is properly regulated to avoid the mistreatment of said animals. Realistically it is better to test stuff out on animals before humans as long as it is done in the most humane way possible. There should be heavy penalties/charges for inhumane treatment of the animals

 @9YNGCR9answered…8mos8MO

Absolutely not! Animal abuse how about human testing aswell considering the products are for us to use maybe companies will stop selling bad quality products!
