Medical and cosmetic animal testing has been a very controversial topic for a long time. Many people seem mortified at pictures of disfigured bunnies, cats, and monkeys that are disfigured due to animal testing, but are fine with buying milk at the store that came from a cow that was given hormones, causing its udders to be painfully swollen. People are fine with chickens being kept in a wire cage their entire lives, causing painful lacerations to their feet, before being brutally slaughtered. For

If these were really safety regulations, wouldn’t someone think that it is not safe to test on animals? Animals are animals whereas humans are humans.

Animals are being tested with cosmetics. There is no justifiable right to test cosmetics on an animal just to beautify ourselves. Cosmetic testing makes sure a person does not get harmed by the product. If the product is too toxic, it could affect their skin or eyes. Food production is another reason animals are being tested. This is so we can have healthier food and more nutrition. Why can’t we just have organic foods? This may cost more for us in the end but it would require no testing on animals

We all have a voice to stand up for ourselves but animals are forced to be tested on because they don’t have a choice. Rabbits are an example of innocent animals that are subjected to substances

Animal Testing for Cosmetics: Cruel and Unnecessary Somewhere in the US right now an innocent animal is bleeding, eyes burning, and cowering in fear of what is going to happen to them next. Somewhere an animal is becoming disconnected with reality because it's being put through unmentionable torture. That somewhere is in our drug labs, cosmetic factories, and other labs throughout the country. Every year millions of innocent animals are blinded, tortured, tested on, and killed all in the name of
writing you regarding the Humane Cosmetics Act, which states to phase out cosmetic animal testing and the sale of cosmetics tested on animals, and for other purposes.

Cosmetic products are amazing things to have for everyday beauty needs but is it worth the lives of innocent animals? Throughout The United States, many animals are exploited and tested in cosmetic research labs. Rabbits are restrained and shaved to perform skin and eye irritation tests, and after it’s all done, they’re left to suffer. It’s completely inhumane because animals feel every poke and scrape. Advancements in technology have made it easier for companies to test their products safely without
