It's only hypocricy if they benefit from current testing of animals. If. for example, they required a medicine that could only be obtained by killing animals, then that would be hypocricy, for example, taking shark cartiledge (assuming it actually worked). Just as it's not hypocricy for someone living in the United States to protest the current mistreatment of the American Indians.
Animal testing stops, medical advancements stop, it's that simple.
That's only true in some cases. Not all. It's not that simple. A lot of tests done on animals are completely unnecessary and cruel. Cosmetics testing is completely unnecessary. We have shampoos, soaps, make-up, face cremes etc. that already function. We don't need more, thus any testing on animals for new products is simple cruelty for the sake of vanity and profit.
While I certainly don't want all animal testing to stop, I think a lot of it could be done away with.
