No, they shouldn't. They should test suicidal humans and/or prisoners that are currently on death row- or at least ones that committed the most terrible crimes.

This will require an eradication of constitutional rights.

I will try my best, once I graduate law school, to amend potential humans as test subjects. This case will last a few years- given all of the delusional idiotic humanist protest that I will cause.

If all fails: Perhaps, with my run into power, I can be discrete with CIA officials and introduce this practice anyway. They discretely use humans for mind-control testing and they issue attacks on their own country, so, disposing humans for beneficial and not powerful purposes wouldn't be too much to ask ... would it?

When reliably accurate and affordable alternatives to testing with animals become available, they should be employed.

You could cause a serious allergic reaction, pain, or possibly even death to animals. To use products on animals you need your product first FAA approved.

YES! its better that a rat dies rather than a human. If we don't use animals how else will we know if a product is safe?

In my opinion, we overvalue animals to the point of treating them as humans. Yes, a dog is cute and invokes emotions when we see them injured or hurt, but they are not humans. Would I rather them not be injured? Sure. Do I prioritize them over safety of humans? No. The main divider in my opinion is what the testing is for. If it is some hair care product or some other non-useful item, mainly intended for vanity, no, don't use animals. If it is for something useful, like medicine or weapons, sure, by all means, use animals to test them so that it can help humans who need it. Now, people will say that that is irresponsible, or that animals are equal to humans. I disagree on both counts. Animals can be bred at astounding rates if we really wanted to, and animals are not equal to humans. Animals won't build civilizations that will span the globe and allow instantaneous communication, nor will they build weapons to allow them an even footing against humans. No matter what you believe or don't, animals are not our equals. Should we hinder ourselves to protect something that does not help us? When was the last time a mouse preformed surgery to save a life or took down a criminal without human intervention. If testing on animals makes humanity safer, test away.

Why don't we test humans to make humans safe? A mouse's reaction to a test is not as reliable as a humans reaction on a test. Mice have every right to be in their natural environment as any other creature.

Animals are not less valuable than humans. Just because they do not have as much 'understanding' of life and life around them does not mean they are dispensable.

Animals won't build civilizations that will span the globe and allow instantaneous communication, nor will they build weapons to allow them an even footing against human

Animals will not also destroy the earth and build weapons that would facilitate such destruction. Humans are not beneficial to the earth in any way.

Why don't we endanger our own species to test things that may end up harming the user? We test on animals because it would be dangerous for humans. Every other life form on this planet is willing to use and abuse the other lifeforms for their gain, and, as the most advanced, we have the power to do so. Unless you think we do not have the same capabilities as an animal, there is nothing wrong with animal testing. Also, where did a mouse get any rights? Last I checked governments do not give animals rights. Animals aren't human, they should not be treated as such. If there are alternatives outside of human testing, by all means, use them. But if animal testing will allow medicines to be made, or weapons that can help my country survive whatever anyone throws at them, then I say test away on the animals. Also, Humans aren't beneficial to Earth in any way? Really? Can you not name one beneficial thing humans have done for the planet, ever? What about making barren lands habitable, irrigating areas and allowing things to grow, medicines that can help bot animals and humans? Were none of those things beneficial?
