There are plenty of companies out there who do not test their products on animals. It would be impossible to either give you a number of companies or attempt to list all of the companies that don't however I can teach you methods of figuring out which companies don't on your own. Many times you can find this out on the packaging, companies that don't test their products on animals will state this proudly somewhere on the packaging. Also caringconsumer.com has a list of both companies that test their products on animals and those that don't. In this way you can search companies by name however another plus of this website is that you can search for cruelty free products by product.
There are many companys test their experiments on animals,so its not possible to know the exact number of them...
Not many companies use animal testing these days, although you'll find plenty of them overseas.
Yes, many animal byproducts are used within cosmetics and animals are routinely tested upon - even if a company claims not to support animal testing, they may use research based on animal testing by other companies or be owned by a parent company who use animal testing. Proctor & Gamble are the worst for this, they not only use animal testing but have supported grossly unethical animal testing and outright torment animals - aka Huntington Life Sciences.
See the link below for a full list of companies that DO test on animals.Some companies SAY they don't test on animals but the ingredients they use have been.
According to PETA.com Vichy does use animal testing for some of its products. And it is good to keep in mind that Vichy is owned by L'Oréal Paris, one of the biggest animal testing companies on the planet.
Companies use animal testing because of the very few similarities between human and animal tissue and DNA. They think that by testing on animals before using the drug/make-up etc on humans they can diminish the possibility of the humans getting any side-effects.
No usually not, the companies test on animals that are sometime OVER populated like dogs or cats. Although Companies can use rodent at pet stores like, Guinea pigs, hamsters, or bunnies.
The current laws regarding animal testing are that the animal testing must be carefully reviewed and overseen. There are several laws regulating the use of animals for testing.
I'm not sure animal testing really affects anything. I know that some companies test their products on animals, like deodorant, perfume, makeup etc. They do that to make sure it is safe to use on humans.It is inhumane!!! They need to stop. These companies test on animals. Please stop buying their products until they stop testing.:
yes
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.
I think it would be the companys who animal test, people who use the product (suporters), and the people who are against animal testing.
No, because an animal is also a living thing.
