The testing of vaccines, medical devices, and safety of drugs has been vital for scientific research, however, society needs to weigh the ethics of testing. Animals that are considered "pests" or have a large population, and similar anatomy of humans should be supported, while protecting more vulnerable species. Research that can benefit human lives should be prioritized over cosmetics.

Use animals that will cause less public opinion to conduct experiments, and prohibit the use of endangered animals and nationally protected animals.

Definitely not for cosmetics, and not for situations where the substance places humans at little risk. All other options should be considered before animal testing, it should be an essential need for examining the action of the product or process.

Only use animals such as pests (EG: Rats, Mice, etc), insects, and primates for medical research, not cosmetics.

Yes, but restricted only to essential medical research for life-saving breakthroughs like cancer treatments but no cosmetics

Have a voluntary testing for inmates for life, they can volunteer to take the place on an animal and have it so it gets human tested immediately. But it must be voluntary.

For certain instances, yes, researchers can use animals in testing, however, they shouldn't hurt the animals, and let consumers know that the product they are using has been tested on by animals. However, for the most part, there should be no animals used in testing

if you have to choose between a person or an animal always go with the animal and if that works try it on a person and then deem it safe.
