Dont kill em
animals shouldnt be experiments
Testing on animals is cruel and abusive
Animals are forced to be fed unknown substances and chemicals that contribute to the experiment. They are held captive under horrible conditions, left without food and water. The burns and wounds caused by the experiments are left to study, the healing process. Pain is often left to study the effect and remedies. Animals aren't given any type of pain reliever. Of course after being done experimenting they are left to die. ANIMALS ARE LIVING THINGS TOO, JUST BECAUSE THEY CANT COMMUNICATE DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T SUFFER AND FEEL THE PAIN.
Animals react diffrently
Animals have diverse and completely different reactions to these products than humans do. Animals tests are most of the time unreliable because our metabolisms and cells are completely different, which is why its a waste of lives, money, and time.
How animals are used in product testing
Animals such as rats, mice, rabbits, and guinea pigs are most commonly used in product testing. The draize eye test which is most commonly used by cosmetic brands, attempts to measure the potential harmfulness of chemicals by observing the damage they cause to eyes and skin on animals.
Alternatives
Its the 21th century and technology is advanced enough to create better methods to investigate and experiment. Studying human cells is actually a better alternative. Cells are grown in tubes and plastic wells that produce better results than on animal skin. Another alternative is virtual molecules, which are processed and formed in the computer, the molecules can detect the toxicity of substances without to experiment on animlals.
