It is about time that the proper people start analyzing in deep what is being done with so many animals "in the name of science" and stop torturing them when no reliable and necessary results to humans health are obtained.

Experimenting on animals cannot lead to data that is applicable to humans. All countries need to stop funding the wasteful and cruel use of animals in "research," for their well-being and ours.

About time people started to realize that animals should not be used for testingof humans!!!! Animals deserve our love and care, not tourcher "In the name of science". Testing on animals is WRONG on SO many levels! What if this was you? Then you wouldn't be sitting there comfortably sitting there without a care would you??? I hope that these heartless people have nightmares, horrible horrible nightmares that leave them screaming when they wake up and covered in sweat!

I to am also only 14,and i also have strong opinions in this area, but quite a bit different from Natalie.
I'm against Cosmetic tesing as I see it as a unnessesary and unethical as it only serves our selfish consumer society. But thankfully it has been banned in the UK since 1998 and all products that use animal testing are to be banned in the EU by 2014.
However with medical testing, I believe it is acceptable if it aids the alleviation of human suffering and saving of multiple human lifes. Plus the UK has some of the tightest controls for animal welfare in laboretries in the world, and lisenses for animal testing are only given out from the home secutary when the gain for humans outweighs the loss of animal welfare.
As for meat, I think its our biology that part of out diet is meat, however if we are to eat meat we should treat the animals humanly throughout their lives and death. I think that battery farming is EVIL. The conditions that those poor animals are exposed to is wrong, and that animal rights activists should be targeting them instead of Labs, as the conditions are FAR worse and they are not a matter of life and death to some people as labs are. If we are to farm animals I belive they should all be free ranged and be able to live a happy life before their death.

How dare anyone test something on a poor defenceless animal that they are not prepared to be tested on themselves first.
It is cruel and wrong. It needs to be stopped now.
Technology has come so far and we can not find alternatives to testing on animals, that certainly does add up!!
