Any cosmetic or medical companies will tell consumers that their products are the best since it has been tested on animals for safety, but the truth behind animal testing will make buyers think twice about their merchandise. Nowadays, more and more people are teaming up against animal testing. Laboratory testing is done on substances that make up medication and cosmetics, such as perfume, lotion, soap, etc. Animals are used to develop medical treatments, determine the toxicity of medications, and check the safety of products destined for human use. Substances are injected into animal’s bodies to prove that products are harmless to people, and the environment. Although animal testing may be helpful to human’s health and the environment, the

For example, “Animals do not get many of the human diseases that people do, such as major types of heart disease, many types of cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s disease, or schizophrenia. Instead, signs of these diseases are artificially induced in animals in laboratories in an attempt to mimic the human disease"(Cruelty-Free International Organisation). Experimenters are attempting to mirror human diseases by artificially creating symptoms in different species of animals, resulting in extremely inaccurate test results. Not only will it affect future test results, but it will also be dangerous for those who use the products. In addition, based on U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nine out of ten experimental drugs are unsuccessful in clinical studies because experimenters cannot precisely predict how tests on animal species will perform in people, according to laboratory and animal studies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration admits that more than half of their experiments involving animals result in the trash because the difficulty of handling with animals are producing false information. Animal testing is unpredictable because the condition of each individual animal and species will vary. Clearly, experimenting with animals is unreasonable, dangerous, and
