Animal testing is a phrase that most people have heard but are perhaps still unsure of exactly what is involved. Whether it is called animal testing, animal experimentation or animal research, it refers to the experimentation carried out on animals. It is used to assess the safety and effectiveness of everything from medication to cosmetics, as well as understanding how the human body works. While supporters believe it is a necessary practice, those opposed to animal testing believe that it involves the torture and Suffering of animals.

There is a vaccination for rabies, which now consists of 3 shots prior to exposure or 5 shots after exposure. Rabies used to be universally fatal if you were bit by a rabid animal; now you receive a series of 5 shots plus a high level of pre-formed antibodies and the prevention rate is above 90%. Also, canine rabies is now eradicated from the US due to using preventive vaccines in the domestic dog population - there are only the bat, raccoon and skunk varieties left.
