My point had less to do with ideology that the idea that certain animals are breed for certain purposes. War Horses for battle, cattle for food, mice for testing ect. Some of these creatures could have natually become extinct without human cultivation.

Are you going to volunteer for the next test of say something like rat poison?
Even with testing on animals we can never be certain how something will affect everyperson that uses such a product. But the idea is that we reduce the risk and more importantly the liability and lawsuits with releasing a product without proper testing.
How many humans are going to sign up to be test subjects for the next no-tears shampoo or a vaccine for anthrax? I imagine getting human volunteers would be difficult for every test needed. I would rather watch a 1,000 rodents die from laboratory tests than take my chances at being a test subject for the same test.
