There are some standards that should be reworked when it comes to animal testing.

For the medical industry: make it as humane as possible. Make sure that you’re making the animal feel as comfortable as possible if you are doing any testing. I know that people will argue that the results from testing drugs on animals does not produce clear results and that the results differ from the animal to humans, but if we didn’t start there, we wouldn’t have anywhere else to start. Most drugs undergo a trial basis anyways where they use human volunteers to test the drugs.

For the cosmetics industry: obviously, if you need to test an ingredient on an animal, you shouldn’t be using that ingredient. Stick with natural ingredients (flowers, essential oils, salts, minerals, rocks, fruits, vegetables, grains, and if you need to use synthetics, use ones that have been proven safe for YEARS), and fair trade ingredients so people who are in struggling countries or remote islands can also make a living as well. It’s common sense. Most cosmetics on the market nowadays are really chemicals that dry out or irritate the skin anyways. :P

For other industries: there have been pointless tests on animals. Clorox is inclined to do testing on animals to see the results of ingesting bleach. The results are all the same. We get it, people; don’t drink bleach.
