Animals are only animals, they can't think as we humans. They just act upon their senses and that is what gives us the right to "use" animals to our own advantage(this may sound horrible but don't take it that way)to a certain point to entertaining purposes and yes testing too but I think they use mainly those lowlife creatures such as rats and other critters(can you honestly demand the tests to be done with humans or no testing at all, and animal activists I think they care more about animals than humans, which to me is absurd).
Of course I object molesting and torturing animals.Who can honestly tell if an animal is suffering even if it is in a gage, humans still feed them.
Pets are different case they enjoy being around humans because they are raised to be that way and we feed them too, waht more could an animal possibly want. If they wouldn't like it they would run away wouldn't they...
hypotethically speaking, if a predator race would appear I would fight back any means possible. It wouldn't be justified fo them to wipe out the human race. And if that was to happen I would give them a lot of credit for destroying the greatest race ever, which would make the predators superior.
