Ninety-two percent of drugs used during animal tests fail immediately when tried first on humans from being both useless and or dangerous. Most of the new medicines get declared as unsafe and dangerous for humans to use to treat illnesses and diseases.

This means that plenty of animals used for research go through pain and suffering for no reason since it almost always never is able to be used.

Also, animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments. Some religious traditions allow human dominion over animals.
