Animal Testing Illegal

Decent Essays
Should animal testing be illegal? Even though we have rules and limits against the testing of animals; many animals are still being used for science. This matters because we are using animals to make makeup for women. Animals are kept in small cages, many are blind, have many defects, or dead. Due to the fact that we human want to be cute, but do not want to test the cosmetics out on ourselves. Because we fear to look ugly; but who has the right to define the word ugly? So we would rather kill and danger animals who have no voice to speak up for themselves. What did those poor animals ever do to us. If we want to wear these cosmetics and advance in science then we need to be the test dumb, because we want it not the animals. When we say all
