I read a statistic that said that, since the 80's (and the good work of operations like the Body Shop), the actual proportion of animal testing done relative to non-animal testing is somewhere in the region of 10:90, that is, it is done very rarely. From what I remember of the same paper, the main reason for this was nothing to do with 'animal rights', but the problem of anthropomorphism. Generally speaking, in this country at least, I suspect the unbelievably stringent testing has meant it occurs only in very, very special cases.
Speculation, of course, but personally I honestly don't see what benifit rats do to anyone.
