Answer 3

It varies all over the place. Some animals are good for one kind of test and some for another. What happens to them varies too. Animals used for research on diet cannot be used again. Others can be. Sometimes the test requires killing the lab animal. These are usually disposed of in the waste stream as biological waste but I once had access to fetal rats which I could use for animal feed, saving the lab the cost of disposal and saving me for having to buy food for my animals.

Reputable companies carry out the tests in as humane a manner as they can.
