Cruel Experimentation On Animals

Animals have been one of the many test subjects used in science for years. Animal experimentation has scientists and citizens debating about whether it is a good thing or not; the talk about this issue has increased since new conducted scientific research, technology advances, and more people are concerned about animal welfare. Consider a cute little dog that has been in a family for several years. The family dog has gone missing. He is lost and roaming the streets in search for his owner. Unable to find his owner, animal control finds him and take him off the streets.

Whether these animals have a good or bad reaction to the substances all the products will still go out on the market, placed on store shelves for people to purchase them. The cosmetics industry does the same type of experiment on animals. According to a New York Times article, L’Oréal, Covergirl, and Procter and Gamble, to name a few, are some of the better known cosmetic companies that do these types of experimentations. They are making profit from anyone who purchases their products too (Carvajal C1). A majority of people will have a product in their home that tested on animals. By owning any product that in any form tests on animals, one is supporting what these companies are doing in order to develop their products. In addition, as technology advances, scientists have now developed alternatives such as making human skin to test cosmetics and household products that were not available to them years ago. Federal agencies need to impose animal testing regulation on household and cosmetic companies because they harm animals, do not benefit humans, and there is new technology to replace animal …show more content…
According to the article “Leaving Animals Out of the Cosmetic Picture”, technology has evolved in the last forty years, were now there is technology that no longer requires using animals as test subjects (Ellin E3). Scientists in Provence,France have reconstructed human skin, such as eyelids (Carvajal C1). Artificial skin is an alternative that is growing. The evolvement of artificial skin is booming that there has been champagne parties to celebrate this research, and sealing kits of artificial skin (Carvajal C1). Not only is science a big role in reducing animal testing, federal laws are also
