      No, and I disagree with animal testing for cosmetics but agree with it for medical/pharmaceutical purposes.

      I don’t do any tests on animals. It is unlikely that I will ever do tests on live animals myself.

      I believe animals should have rights and that animal testing should be avoided if possible. For example, I don’t think things like cosmetics should ever be tested on animals. However, I also believe that people are more important than animals and so I agree with animal testing for important things like medicines if they have the potential to help humans. There are strict regulations for animal testing, and rightfully so.

      I don’t do testing on animals though I use insects for my research! As i am developing insecticides to kill insects therefore I have no option. I have to use them though I am against it. But can’t help it as I am working for benefit of mankind.
