Animals have feelings. People never think of it in a way of that, would you like it if they were to test things on you without your permission? Would you like to go through pain and suffer to save others, without actually getting the option of doing it? Mice, Monkeys, Rats etc might not be 'the best animals in the word', but they are animals and they have families. No one thinks about what it is like to be an 'animal' in this position would feel like. They're losing their life, to save someone they've never met. Animal Testing isn't just for cures for things either, its for cosmetic testing and thins like that. Animal Testing is unfair, and it's quite honestly sickening that people are allowed to get away with it.
If I was to go outside, and kick my dog in the ribs, I would get my dog taken away from me. If I was to put a mouse/rat in a firework and shot it into the air, I would get into trouble. Yet if I put a needle into it, and say I'm looking for the cure for cancer, aids etc, It's completely fine? Animal testing is abuse.
Now think of the food we eat. You wonder how those animals feel when they have to suffer death, but what options do we have? Animals don't speak and as a matter of fact, in animal life it's going to be life or death for the survival. Animals is what make us live, what cycles Earth's life pattern. I get what you mean how animals feel when they don't have permission to be killed, but what will we have to survive? We can become vegetarians, but not everyone is going to like a specific food. Humans get killed as well by animals, and animals don't understand what we are saying. It's life or death, they run away or they get captured. Animal abuse is a different story and I get it, there is no point in kicking a dog's ribs as it's abuse to the dog and what advantages you will get. Doing abuse is horrible to animals, but there is a reason behind putting a needle in a animal and it is to help us survive and find out information about our life.
Animal abuse happens everywhere, but there is no way around it to stop it. Mc Donalds themselves does animal abuses and making their lives tortured, but who's going to stop a billion dollar company? Money is what makes people bypass laws basically.
