When it comes to the topic of cosmetic animal testing (Cosmetic animal testing- taking cosmetic products finished or unfinished and using them on animals in many different ways to test for different affects), most people will acknowledge that it is inhumane and unsafe for the sake of animals. When this agreement ends, it is on the question of why we need animals in research. Whereas some are convinced that it’s not harmful to any animal during the process, others maintain that it’s still the most known cosmetic testing today.
The Humane Society acknowledges that testing on animals is a well known form of cosmetic testing. But they go on to state all the different kinds of testing and what they involve. One testing way involves 2,600 rats. Now, what they do with the rats is where the inhumane part comes into play. These rats are exposed to the chemical substance by force feeding or other ways, after they mate them together. All throughout the pregnancy and breastfeeding, the pregnant mothers are exposed to the substance everyday. After birth, the mothers are then killed,

Countries like: European Union, Israel, Norway, and India. While some countries are still considering it, they have not been approved. Other alternatives have been making a huge difference in the cosmetic world. Propaganda and other forms of media are always being released to fight against cosmetic testing allowing another genre of audience seeing these inhumane acts on these animals. Major companies use well known alternatives such as “In Vitro and In Vivo” are a few of the biggest testing alternatives known in banned animal testing countries. According to The Marshall Protocol Knowledge Base, In Vitro means “within the glass”(The Marshall Protocol Knowledge Base, 2017). Carol Howard, from the The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing reports that “In vitro studies are done with cells and tissues in culture.” (Howard,
Be that as it may, others view these tests as immoral and should be illegal universally. So much so that there are animal activists who protest against the use of animal testing for cosmetics. Similarly, an organization
Protection Animal testing is cruel and inhumane, it should not be acceptable to use animals in scientific research. Vivisection is another term for an animal experimentation including; dissection, administering drugs, brain damaging, and other painful and invasive experiences to animals. According to Humane Society International, animals used in experiments are subjected to force feeding, forced inhalation, food and water deprivation("Testing - American Anti-Vivisection Society.") Animals are very different from human-being therefore it can make a poor scientific results. They should not have to suffocate and die to be use in research and cosmetics testing because there are alternative choices and different techniques that could lead to the
The creation of science has helped us discover other ways to test cosmetics without the use of animals that could potentially be more efficient since animal testing is not the most accurate approach to knowing how a human body would react to a cosmetic. However, these new systems would only increase the animal population and help the environment, changing the course of our destructive path that we 're on. Therefore, to compensate, we would need to just plainly kill them in their natural habitats, where protesters can more easily block our access to the animals. This way of murder is also not as innovative as the animal testing has proven to be. Animal testing has been going on long enough to not give up on it now, we will wait until science has come up with a more innovative way to kill
Purpose: To inform the audience about animal testing I. Introduction A. Attention getting device: Approximately 26 million animals are used every year in US laboratories for cosmetic and biomedical research. B. Thesis: I would like to inform you about how animal testing is conducted. C. Credibility: I have read and studied the articles about animal testing. D. Preview: I am going to share with you purposes of animal testing, how animals are used in laboratory tests, and the effectiveness of animal testing.
Cosmetic testing on animals is unnecessary when it comes to consumer wants. Defenseless animals should not have to suffer through useless experimentations of cosmetics. Millions of animals have painful deaths every year, because people are allowing this to happen. Since these experiments are an ancient way of testing, the animals’ deaths are in vain. They’re not the most accurate results, and there are other ways to avoid this without the cost of beauty.
"If it 's proven to reduce suffering through animals tests, it 's not wrong to use them. To say cosmetics is an absolute evil is absurd. " The Canadian Federal of Human Societies states that all cosmetic companies in Canada are required to confirm the safety of their products. Scientific research shows that animals and humans are very similar in terms of DNA and genetics. Although animal experimentation is not required and the research conducted is often unreliable, this proves why animals are the perfect testing subjects.
Modern-Day Animal Experimentation: A Necessity, or a Brutality? Animal experimentation is the act of testing products with non-human animal subjects intended for human use such as shampoo, deodorant, or cigarettes, before the product is mass produced and shipped out for human consumption. Research such as this will usually take place in pharmaceutical companies, medical schools, or universities. Not only is experimentation on animals unethical, it is completely unnecessary and out-dated. The term “animal experimentation” is very broad, and can mean one of a few things; however, drug/cosmetics testing is by far the most dangerous and controversial of all the subjects put together.
I’m here today to talk about a controversial issue that has been around for a period of time, animal testing. Animal testing using animals in experiments with different chemical substances in everything from medical to cosmetic to determine their safety as well as effectiveness . It’s a problem that has existed since the 3rd and 4th centuries BCE with its merciless methods and painful ways of abusing animals for human demands, but now it’s time for it to stop. Our technology has developed significantly since; therefore, such medieval methods of torturing animals are no longer necessary. Researches have shown that each year, over 100 million animals are tortured and killed in American laboratories alone, including dogs, cats and more; this shows how far out of hand animal testing have gotten.
Henceforth, as animal testing increased, so did the controversy surrounding it (“Animal testing,” n.d.). Moreover, with the help of animal testing, various treatments and medicines are developed for unconventional diseases. Although animal testing may seem ruthless, animals are used for experimental research that contributes to science if there are no other possible substitutes. Animal testing is a debatable topic that still continues to be one until this time. Animal experimentation should persist because it saves human’s life from diseases, ensures cosmetics’ safety, and improves medical
When hearing animals are in misery, being burned and killed is the most heart breaking thing to hear, this is all because of animal testing on everyday cosmetic products humans use. Ladies and Gentlemen, if you didn’t know there is many tests that
There are hundreds of brands that test on animals for cosmetics, and not one of them is humane. Cosmetic animal testing has been a controversial issue for years. The first documented test on an animal was done in the mid 1850s by Charles Darwin. Soon in 1922, animal testing allowed insulin to be isolated from dogs (Murnaghan). In 1938, the United States passed the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic act, after an incident with a woman’s mascara led her to become blind.
This proves how immoral it is to test on animals especially since the law does not require the cosmetics to be tested. The most plausible answer for why the animals are being tested on is a business wants to make money and if the business cosmetic is unsafe and harms one human then no one is going to want to buy another cosmetic from that business. This could leave a business with no
Should Animal Testing be Allowed? Animal testing has been a controversial issue for a long time now. Whether or not animal testing is humane or not, both sides of the argument are hard to choose from . On one hand you have the possibility of curing diseases, saving lives, and helping the human race. On the other hand you have the lives of many innocent animals who are being injected, probed, caged and mistreated for just facts.
South Korea’s National Health and Welfare committee has just recently created a bill that will ban the uses of cosmetics and its ingredients, but it only works against areas that have an alternative to their cause (Miles). This is a great example of how laws that are supposed to fight animal testing just allow advocates of it to evade the laws’ restrictions. Further on the topic, in the nineteenth-century more companies led to the increased use of animals in testing, and subsequently, groups that set out to oppose the use of animals in scientific experiments (Murnaghan). That battle between those advocates and enemies of animal testing is still present and very alive today. Animal testing causes animals to suffer and does not benefit humans,
When putting on your lipstick, do you know what brand your lipstick is? If you are not aware, you might indirectly support animal testing without realizing it. Animal testing is a scientific experiment performed on animals to study the effects of drugs, cosmetic products and other chemical products on humans. In other words, it is used to evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs. About 1.4 million animals die each year because of animal testing.
