At what cost does humanity pay for the advancements in beauty and health? Every year the United States alone is responsible for a hundred million casualties in many animals due to the use of animal experimentation.

Cosmetic testing on animals causes more harm than good because of the unnecessary pain inflicted towards the animal, increasing costs of animal testing, and the unreliable comparison between animals and humans. In my opinion, testing cosmetic products on animals is not a necessity. No animal should have to die because of volumizing mascara or coconut scented shampoo.

“This is irregular either one is allowed rights by being admired by and adult human and thus entirely valued by an adult human has rights or there must be different criteria for granting rights” (Ball and Norris 37). Humans have privileges because they belong to the species Homo sapiens. Today other animals are still not considered adequately like us for the bulk of people to handle these animals as our acquaintances under the Golden Rule.
