Animal Testing Should Be Illegal

Decent Essays
As you sit putting your makeup on before you go out, you do not think about the animals who suffer for us to look good. The question is, is what animals go through worth a fresh face of makeup for us? Animal testing has been around since the beginning of time. Although animals cannot speak, or do other things humans can do, they do not deserve to have products tested on them or be used in experiments that will benefit humans. Animal testing should be illegal. Animals do not deserve to be treated as property and they should have rights. Not only is this action inhumane, researchers have shown that it is not even effective. The tests are conducted on many different animals including rats, monkeys, dogs, etc. The most common tests are skin and

    When you go to the store to buy makeup, do you look on the back to check if they test on animals? When makeup is purchased, most people don’t check to see if it has been tested, and are unknowingly supporting it. Many defenseless animals are being used in factories to test numerous household products. Many of the experiments would be labeled as human cruelty if we did them to ourselves.

    There are many alternatives to animal testing and excuses need to stop being made to keep animal testing in business. It may seem like it is the only option, but there are so many new ways to do the exact same test in ways which do not involve animals at all. It is cruel and inhumane to keep animals in small cages and not only physically, but also mentally harm them. Artist Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” The time for animals to be treated similarly to humans can be…

    Testing cosmetics on animals is a very controversial issue that has grown over the past years. I believe that cosmetic animal testing is wrong and should be banned because it is cruel, inaccurate, not very reliable, and has been proven to be unnecessary. Approximately 200,000 animals will suffer and die every year for cosmetics around the world. We as a whole have all decided that this is not necessary which is why we stopped making testing on animal cosmetics something that had to be done. Companies still continue to do it.…

    People, especially scientists, are hurting innocent animals that did no harm to anyone. Animal testing shouldn't be allowed to happen because animals are getting hurt, they are not protected, and animals get mistreated. One reason that animal testing shouldn’t be allowed is because animals are getting hurt. For instance, the Draize eye test involves rabbits having their eyelids clipped open for as long as multiple days so that they don’t blink the product being tested away. Popular cosmetic brands like L'oreal, Lancome, Estee Lauder, and S.C. Johnson are used on animals.…

    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.
