Animal testing is heavily regulated in the UK and the US (among other countries), and cosmetics tested on animals are certainly illegal in UK and some other European countries; the European Union is gradually phasing out cosmetics that have been tested on animals in other countries too.
It should be noted that drugs/medicines are required by law to be tested on animals before they are even considered for human testing in the UK, US and Japan (among others). In the UK, this can include cosmetics with medical uses, such as Botox or anti-ageing creams.
Britain is thought to be the highest user of animal testing in Europe.
I think it happens all the time. I had just read an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education earlier today and it was talking about animal testing. The scientist proclaimed he was doing this for a cause and learning through drugs, and testing it on monkeys. That way we can find a way for humans to overcome drug habits. He believed in this so much no matter how much of a danger protesters were giving him. I personally wish this to stop, what gives someone the right to experiment on primates for the benefit of humans? Aren't humans and animals different in many ways, then again haven't humans gained benefits from animal testing? Yes and yes. So to answer your question, it does happen and probably will continue to happen if people benefit from it. My only wish is that they keep it humane and safe for the sake of the animals.
To test products for us humans. So that what is being tested on the animal doesn't hurt us but hurts them!:(
no it is not as bad then animal testing
SUPER EXPTREMLY EXPENSIVE animal testing is the cheapest and most efficiant way
Yes, animal testing is around the whole world !
No. There is no legal requirement for animal testing.
well if the testing is from animal haters the animal will die but if they are good it will live......
ANIMAL TESTING SHOULD BE STOPPED.... Especially if you are an animal lover. Animals are tested everyday for stuff that we use daily. A majority of these animals are killed in the process. If you think that going and testing something on something that you cared about and it killed them how would you feel.... These animals are living breathing things and why should people destroy the so we can see a new (ex.) of eyeshadow or perfume that is a scent already out in the world that is not tested on animals. Think about your pet for example dying. How would you feel?? That s what animal testing does.
if you believe in animal testing...you have no morals,,,i no this because i just wrote a 5 page paper on animal testing and its horrid
the cons of animal testing r- costs bunches of $$$
Animal testing sould be illegal because it is harming the animal.
It is a slightly grey area, but generally no.
The current laws regarding animal testing are that the animal testing must be carefully reviewed and overseen. There are several laws regulating the use of animals for testing.
