For 2000 years animal have been tested on. Recently, most has stopped thanks to animal rights activists.

Many meat eaters are against cosmetic testing. To set standards around this issue the animal welfare act was made. It made standards for the care of laboratory animals and all others. To make sure they were following the rules, they had random inspections of the laboratories.

Sometimes they have to use drugs and painkillers for the animals. It says for the researchers to actually see if animal testing is necessary. When animal testing is discussed we need to know if the benefit of humans is worth the pain to the animals.

We don't need makeup unlike medicine that saves people's lives. The fda answers this. While it is not necessary many companies use animal testing for their research.

Some products like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are tested on animals. This is not good for animals and the people who do it are cruel and inhumane.
