Why should we stop animal testing? Have a look here - a warning, these sites will show you the truth about animal testing, so please don't click if you are sensitive and have already made the decision to care in your choices of products -

Not only is testing on our fellow animals, who have the same central nervous system as us, and feel exactly the same pain as we do, unconscionably cruel, it's also not scientifically sound. Have you heard of thalidomide? It was a drug which was thought to cure morning sickness, and considered safe for humans because it had been tested on monkeys. Well, thousands of women took it while they were pregnant, and their children were born with no arms and no legs. Testing on animals is not even good science, because just because something is proven safe on another species, it doesn't mean it's safe for humans.
Progressive companies are now using a much preferable way of testing chemicals and products - on human cells in a test tube. It's not only much more humane to animals, it's also more scientific, and gives us information on how products actually interact with humans, which of course makes more sense than testing things on any animal who doesn't even share our biology!

Check out these links. If it's not on this list, then it might probably be tested on animals - these are the only products that you can trust are NOT tested on animals -

There are so many good cosmetics and shampoos that are NOT EVER tested on animals (Innoxa, Starlet, Australis, Lush, Yardley), there's no excuse for using the others, unless you don't care about animals having their eyes burnt out with shampoo, being force fed lipstick until their stomachs burst. It's unconscionable.

Causing prolonged unneccesary harm is not right. We proved that animal testing doesn't always work as well. Remember those six people who decided to undergo tests using a drug that was 50 times weaker than it had been when tested on animals. The animals had no affects from the drug, all six people were critically ill in hospital.
Can you imagine having bleach in your eye, just so you neighbour knows that it's not to dangerous. Turning a blind eye is a cowardly thing to do.
SUPPORT THE BUAV.

We shouldn't. The only alternative is human testing and that is illegal,immoral, and just plain disgusting.
