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.

Yes, BUT we must increase oversight to ensure that it is done ethically

 @9FHP9H8from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Only those animals who have been bred for the purpose of scientific testing, and ensure it is done as ethically as possible.

it depends on the types of products being used. if it is likely to harmfully affect the animal, it should not be allowed

 @98N25SYfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only for medical purposes such as vaccines, drug safety etc. But it should not be allowed for cosmetics. This should be allowed as long as the animals are being treated with care and not being treated as props.
