Animal Testing Is Not Cruel
It isn't, scientists go to great lengths to make sure it isn't. Anaesthetics/painkillers are given if need be making sure animals aren't subject to pain. The animals are looked after and like life, they enjoy proper exercise and social life. Whats wrong with that?

Well some people might think it is cruel, but it is a human need, for a healthy population.
Manufacturers rely on it to have their products approved. So if people are really prepared to make do and mend and sacrifice their general health then we should abolish it.

Generally true, plus there are review boards that monitor protocols and actually banish doctors or scientists who are caught abusing the preapproved procedures. So I think if the animal testing is for legitimate medical research into severe diseases then yes the testing is justified. I still object to cosmetics being tested on animals though because that's all for the sake of vanity, plus who wants to see a chimp with purple eyeliner anyway.

Animal testing is cruel no matter what you do. You are holding an animal against it's will and testing something that in the end might be fine on animals but not humans. If you need to test something test it on the person it's for!

 Do you have pets? They are just as much held at your house against their wills as lab animals are kept at labs against their wills.
