People today, daily, head to the store to go pick up that can of hairspray, the tube of mascara, and a new bottle of perfume that they want. They’re mindless to the thought of the process on how it was placed on the shelves of the store. They’re mindless to the thought that it had been tested on animals before it got into the hands of consumers. They’re mindless to the thought that those animals being tested on live stressful, monotonous, and unnatural lives of daily confinement and deprivation. Today, in the United States of America, we have no restrictions on the abuse of animals, companies using unethical, inaccurate, and unnecessary practices to assess the safety of their new ingredients, when there are non harmful alternatives that can

Approximately 47 percent of NIH-funded research involves experimentation on nonhuman animals, and in 2012, NIH budgeted nearly $30 billion for research and development. Not only are there no regulations for animal experimentation, but our own government supports it by giving them funds which allow them to conduct experimentation. Our government is the problem. The lack of enforcement of regulations, knowingly that animals are mistreated, having the power to stop it all, and yet they do nothing. The big, beauty brands is the problem.

You can say they’re just animals and that they aren’t important, but it all comes down to your morals and ethics. It wouldn’t be fun for you to be confined to a cage, and once you’re let out, you only find yourself to inhale toxic fumes, your skulled drilled, and your spinal cord
