Why are animals being used for consumer product testing?

Answer 1

Because it's safer than using humans. Unethical? Perhaps. However, in the end it is safer to use an animal than a human being.

Answer 2

Because it is cheaper and easier for companies to use animals than it is for them to be ethically professional and use human testers.

Why use animals for human products? If you want more info then go to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) as they have lists of companies who do test and lists of companies who don't test. That way you can be sure that whatever you buy has not been tested on animals.

Answer 3

because there are not enough people volunteering. while i was in the Army, there were volunteers being called for research and studies. some times we were told if they don´t get enough volunteers, they will have to test on animals.

each time we were also told, if any thing goes wrong, the company will take care of us along with the Army. i never volunteered for any thing, i almost volunteered for the laser eye surgery until they said i could go blind, i been regretting that every seance. how ever, the people i seen leave, i never seen them return.

Answer 4

unfortunatly because we learned the hard way that when we test products on humans we sue. i am 110% against testing on animals and support and promate any and all companies that do not, from pet food all the way to soaps... if you believe in reincarnation just set your mind to believing that the animals that are going through all this were convicts and murders, and rapists in their past lives and are paying for it now...it kinda eases my mind when i see things get put to sleep for these reasons,, but it still makes me sick to my stomach...

Answer 5

People won't hold still.
