 Human products tested on animals to see if they are safe for humans to use.  All animal testing is done for the benefits of humans.  People want to make sure that if the product is unsafe for the humans, then it wont be put on market  So we humans take animals, and put them in labs

 Animal experiments can be misleading. An animal's response to a drug can be different to a human's  Successful alternatives include test tube studies on human tissue cultures, statistics and computer models  The stress that animals endure in labs can affect experiments, making the results meaningless  Basically, no it doesn’t work to what we expect it to, so its useless to continue

 Yes some people may agree that animal testing would be great for MEDICAL RESEARCH  Sure it sounds great, by looking for new cures on horrible diseases  Not wasting another human life  But in the long run, its not worth it.  The animals are treated to poorly to fully understand what drug would work, or what doesn’t work

 Not to mention the cost of it all!  It cost an enormous amount of money to test on animals, they have a huge list of things they have to do.  Also some scientist are coming up with ways to test without using the animals  It would probably be Human testing

 Every single day more than 38,000 animals are used to test cosmetics, toiletries like toothpaste and shampoo, and household detergents and cleaners.  The FDA and Consumer Product Safety Commission DOES NOT require them to be tested on animals.

 Well sometimes they will hold the animals for a couple of weeks  Like if they were testing for make up  They would let the animal set for about a week, to see what side effects the animal would have  And if it does hurt them, then they are tossed into bags and actually thrown away

 Belgium, Netherlands, U.K. are countries that banned animal testing  Europe is slowly banning products that use animals to test them  And also, Europe has decided not to take any kind of make up product or perfume that has been tested on animals  So mainly, testing is only here in the USa

 Mice  Rabbits  Dogs  Guinea pigs  Cats  Monkey’s  Other animals are also used

 Well most of the time companies would pay breeders to send them some of there dogs, cats. Etc  Other times they are taken from the pound, or off the streets  Even some would go to extreme levels and take monkeys from their habitats because we share  Mainly the same molecular structure.

 Well in short terms, they mainly take the animals into a room  Lock them up so they basically cant move, or either sedate them long enough  Then they will apply or inject what ever they need tested  Its cruel and immoral what some of the scientist would do to some of these animals.  If they needed to they would pull back the fur and skin of it and apply make up, or put a little perfume on the area

 It's impossible to know exactly how many animals are being used in research because U.S. laws do not require scientists to report how many mice, rats, or birds they use.  The animals that scientists do have to report using in experiments include dogs, cats, sheep, hamsters, guinea pigs, and primates.  That means, that scientist can take any number of animal (besides endangered species) to “practice on”

 People need to understand that what we are doing to these animals is cruel and not fair  Nobody would want to be taken from their homes and taken to a lab just to get tested on  Just like people feel pain, animals feel it too.  Sure we need to know what could harm us or not, but why would we need such harsh chemicals?  To make us look good?  Smell better?

 If we need harsh chemicals to make us look better, or feel better about ourselves, then we need to test humans.  Human testing would be much more efficient because then we would know exactly what would be alright to use  And what we couldn’t use  Time to give the animals a BREAK.  Do you like to get hurt? Neither do they.
