Animal Testing For Cosmetics Research Paper

Animal Testing for cosmetics is completely wrong. You want to hurt or kill animals for your looks. People say animals are just like us since we are both mammals, if that's true why do we test on them? If they are just like us, they have the same feelings as us, they can feel the pain we feel. Either way, these tests aren't even that accurate because there is a 92% chance of failure when testing on animals. Anyone who is using cosmetic brands that test on animals should stop right away. The 5 most used cosmetics for me include: Clinique’s Moisture Surge, Tom's of Maine deodorant, st Ives cleanser, Nivea body wash, and bath and body works perfume. Out of the 5, St Ives and Clinique test on animals. I'm glad that most of my products don't

    Animal cosmetics testing had become very popular in the decade. Many people are wanting to make sure the products they are using are not harmful to themselves and others.

    Besides, "Cosmetic testing on live animals is an outdated, inaccurate and cruel method of determining products' safety for human use" (Fact Sheet: Cosmetic Testing). If we have to test most of these products on animals, there might be a problem. Maybe we should take a second to think about the danger that we are putting these animals in.

The people who do the testing say different animals are used for different testing.…

We have enough cosmetic products and brands, it is not necessary for cosmetic researchers to go on and test on animals. Animals should have similar rights as people, and we need to learn to share our planet with them.…
