By definition, animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, animal research, and in vivo testing, is the use of non-human animals in experiments. Worldwide it is estimated that the number of vertebrate animals—from zebrafish to non-human primates—ranges from the tens of millions to more than 100 million used annually. I believe that animal testing is a good thing. However, I do not believe it is always a humane act. The reasons I think that animal testing could be a good thing is for medical procedures that will eventually be used on humans. Also, I think that testing new products on animals rather than humans is definitely okay. However, when people take it so far as to torturing animals in order to achieve a futile goal, I do not believe in this process at all. I believe that animal testing should strictly be used for the betterment of understanding in the medical field in order to help humans... and that's it!
