I believe animals should not be used for scientific experiments, entertainment (unless it's for a one-off movie and under close supervision), and hunting sports.
I am alright, however, with animals used for human consumption (under human conditions if domesticated, and hunted sustainably if wild), labour (again, within reasonable limits and not mistreated), and as pet companionship (obtained through legal means and not through illegal wildlife smuggling or of an endangered species).
.....
Favourite animals
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever (from personal experience, we named him 'Shadow'

Land Mammal: Painted Horse
Sea Mammal: Bottlenose Dolphin
Reptile: Ball Python
Bird: Scarlet Macaw/Cockatoo (You know the Blue-and-Gold Macaw image for Mac's login screen? I've been wearing that ever since I first used my Macbook Pro

Fish: Clownfish
Insect: Monarch butterfly

But I don't want even this thread to turn into an Animal Rights debate; I digress.
In lighter news relating to animals, I'm going to a reptile program being shown at my college, later today! Hopefully we'll get to handle an adult Burmese Python or some other large reptile!

In my Fish and Wildlife Conservation class, we went out to a Wildlife Rescue. It's a hospital for local injured wildlife, however there are a bit of animals there that can't be released back into the wild.
There were foxes, coyotes (one with a neruological disorder and the other only had 3 legs), two Mountain Lions (one had three legs), skunk, oposssum, raccoons, squirrels, hawks, and a bobcat.
It was a lot of fun learning about local wildlife, and seeing my favorite animal (The Mountain Lion) up close!

Dude, if a mountain lion hissed at me, I think I would be petrified.

Wow! Hope that meant it liked you (not as food), like my mom says

When we were at the zoo once, a mountain lion tried to hunt my friend's 5-year-old brother! I mean, it was just following him (in its cage, of course) and stared at him, looking ready to start attacking. That was a bit amusing, since there was no way the lion could leave the cage, but that was somewhat scary, too.

Mountain Lions in captivity are known to do this! Even the guide at the Wildlife Rehab I was at said that the cats liked to stalk small children

TSS: I'm chill with Mountain Lions hissing at me...as long as there is a fence between us! In the wild I'd be petrifyed!

Same with my cat and dog! Only they'd never, EVER be sleeping by each other. We have to be careful that they're not at the same place at the same time or trust me, there will be blood!

That sounds terrible! There must be a lot of trouble with them. How do they ever get along?
I've only seen a "dog and cat" pair once... They've got strange friendship (for example, the dog carries the cat by his head and he doesn't mind), but they are good friends after all.
