Answer 1

most animal testing is pointless because animals react to things diferently to ourselves like medical items after animal testing they are then tested on humans before being generaly prescribed so why test on animals first it just wastes time and money as for cosmetics there are enough shades of lipstick eye gloss etsetra to last us forever i think we might run out of albeno rabbits to test on first so my answer to your question is i definately would not use any if i had a choice my mum died if cancer but even as she was dying did not beleive in animal testing even if it could have saved her lif

Answer 2

hmm.... i have 4 labs a week and have some friends who work with lab rats.... I dont know where you get your information, but very few people who test on animals are trying to "cause them pain." Could you hurt a helpless animal? No? Then what makes you think other people would? The average person isnt sadistic or cruel, and people who work in labs are usually there because they want to do research to help people and maybe even animals.

If they were in the wild, those rats would be eaten by a bird or a cat. In the lab, they get regular food and water, and in experiments, they are not put under any needless pain. Most of the time they are injected with whatever the test material is, but it's no different than getting a vaccine. If they get sick from the medication, it's no different than if they were to become ill in the wild. Most lab rats live longer healthier lives than those in the wild.

Also, do you know how much paperwork you have to sign to even have permission to experiment on animals? There are organizations who make sure that all experiments are under

some kind of supervision. A person who experiments on animals has a "record" and if there is any record of him/her hurting an animal, he/she may not get approval to experiment on animals ever again.

There are exceptions to this rule. The government does test and give permission to test poisons on animals, but they have to have this information to market products that are potentially lethal to humans. Think about food. You have to grow food. You need pesticides to grow food. You need to test the pesticides to make sure that they don't kill off other animals in the environment. In that case, it's good for animals over all.

Also, if there were no animal testing, a lot of products would never make it to the shelf. The FDA requires testing, and if you cant find subjects to test it on, then ihow does it get to the public? How would you feel if your mother or father was dying of an illness that can only be cured by a drug that cant be marketed because animal testing was outlawed? Most people won't volunteer for testing if it hasnt been tested on an animal first. Would you risk kidney, heart, or liver damage to test a new drug?

All creatures have a place in this world, but you look out for your own species first. Children are starving and dying of disease and all you care about are some animals who have to wear makeup?

Im not saying it's right, but it's a fact, and even if stricter animal rights laws were passed here in the United States, the government and corporations would simply move their operations to a country that doesnt care about it's animal population. The only way for animal rights to fully work is for it to be a world wide thing.

If it's what you believe in, then fight for it, even if no one else stands with you. Just make sure it's not a "fashion cause." This is a real cause with serious repercussions no matter what the outcome.

And no i wouldnt stop using a particular product if it was tested on animals. I would however stop using a product if it wasnt tested on animals. I'm not about to be someone's guinea pig.

Answer 3

with the aid of fact even once you're rather careful, sorting out drugs on people is risky. a pair of years in the past the preliminary attempt of a drug on six volunteers with a tiny volume of a sparkling drug almost killed all of them, and that they are going to nevertheless purely stay some years because it destroyed their immune structures. This replaced into after the traditional animal assessments to clear out needless to say risky compounds, without this pre human animal sorting out you will get people dropping down ineffective for all time. I actual have a particularly serious ailment, all the headway into diagnosing and treating it has come from animal sorting out, usually on mice and rats. considering that maximum folk consume meat, i do no longer' see any ethical distinction to ingesting it an animal or sorting out a drug on it.

Answer 4

I could not get the link but I always thought the answer would be yes..........I recently discovered L'oreal, Max factor and most of the other big companies test on animals so it is not that easy to avoid although I do try............

Answer 5

If it was a medical product and there was not another way to test the product i would continue to use it.

If it was cosmetic i would not because there are plenty of ways to test cosmetics without testing them on animals,

Answer 6

couldn't get to that link but i would definately stop using a beauty product if it was found to be tested on animals.

Answer 7

Answer 8

No
And if products are not tested on animals...
they should be tested on the humans that protest.

Answer 9

no. everything has to be tested on something prior to its approval. medications get tested on animals, then on humans. but like other people said, better they test on animals than people.
