Question
Hi I am doing a report for english and my topic is animal testing and experimentation, and I would like to know the following questions, What are the good things about testing and experimenting on animals? and, What are the things against animal testing and experimentation?

Answer
Hi Maddie,

I've answered this question by others before, but here is a link, you can decide for yourself :)  

My personal opinion is that we should not harm anything, at anytime.  It's wrong to force sentient beings into situations where they cannot ask us to please not do that it hurts - and not to consider their feelings.

Here's a ton of info on animal testing:

I can answer almost all questions about animals raised for food... and the horrifying truths of the abuse and torture these animals endure. Also, about the health ramifications of eating animals or their products, i.e. heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and a host of other diseases linked to our diets. Any questions on existing on a plant based diet, solely, raw diet and the health benefits.
