up to 6.5 million
Over 20,000 rodents are used for cosmetic testing a year.
In Washington state from 2007 to 2008, roughly 1850 animals died due to animal testing :(
i realy dont know but animal testing is bad i know that and so is testing perfume. Look on the back of a hair dye box and see if is says Dermatoligicly tested. That means that it may be tested on animals. its wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
999 million.!
The exact number of cosmetic products that are tested on animals are unknown, but it is the vast majority. If they aren't tested on animals it will say on the packet, but so far there is no law in place which demands packaging states so if they DO test it on animals.
There are not statistics for just that city. Nationally there were 12.1 million cosmetic procedures performed in 2008.
There are many side-effects to testing in animals such as permanent brain damage, cancer, and even death.
Animal experimentation is controversial; when it is done, it is usually best if the animals experience minimal to no pain and that the results of the animal testing have a clear and important benefit to the health and wellbeing of human beings beyond cosmetic purposes. Many people boycott products and companies that make (excessive or any) use of animal testing.
Approximately 12 .1 million animals are used a year for testing.
There are three main types of animal testing:1. Product testing animals are used to test the safety of products for consumption. Typically, these are linked to cosmetic testing, such as makeup and soap and stuff like that.2. Research tests are performed for advancements in medicine and science, such as experiments with new drugs.3. Education and training these tests range from a high school dissection of a frog to training medical students at Uni.
Cosmetics are non essential luxuries and animals are being killed and tortured for them. what is more important; the animals' lives or the color of your lips?In Europe they make many cosmetics without torturing and killing animals. One does not need to test unnecessary ingredients on animals; there are enough ingredients that are known to be safe on humans that can be used in the manufacture of cosmetics.An argument can be made that animal testing is necessary to save human lives in the development of medicines. This argument cannot be made for cosmetics.
There are many reasons why people use animals for testing. One reason is that they don't want to risk killing a human.
