So many people don’t want animal testing to happen, but so many companies do it. But even worse, people support it by buying the products that have been tested on animals. There are many companies that don’t use animals to test their cosmetics that have as good of quality as the ones that do. If many people stop buying products that are animal tested companies will eventually have to stop using animals for cosmetic testing. Companies will result to using another way to see if there products are safe if this happens (Cole
