The reason we should get rid of animal testing is because it is torture to the animals and animals dont have the same reactions to things like humans do. they react a whole lot differently. So please stop animal testing & animal cruelty!
No. There is no legal requirement for animal testing.
By law, only their butts are used for animal testing. No joke.klick
Proctor and Gamble, the makers of Head and Shoulders, say that 99 percent of their safety evaluations are done without animal testing. The final percent is performed on animals because the law requires it or when there are no other alternatives.
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.
Cosmetic testing in animals is not banned in any state. Animal testing is actually strongly supported by the government. For instance, the Department of Defense spends $100 million on animal testing each year. The main reason that it is hard for cosmetic companies to get away from animal testing is the very strict laws regarding the safety of their products. By law they have to be able to show the effects of their products over time and in large quantities. Though a question of ethics, animal testing is a long way from being out the door.
In the US animal testing is regulated by the 1966 Animal Welfare Act (AWA). At this time AWA only covers mammals. Another regulatory instrument is the Health Research Extension Act of 1985 enforced by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW).
The Aveda website says that "Aveda does not conduct animal testing on its products or ask others to do so on our behalf except if required by law, and actively supports the development of alternative methods to animal testing)."
Yes, if it's done intentionally! Of course animal cruelty is against the law! Also, where animal abuse isn't illegal, it's still unethical. Don't do it.
Yes, people don't tend to buy cosmetics tested on animals as it is against the law and is cruel to animals. Also companies don't say they use animal testing but if they still do they can get heavy fines or be in big trouble for false advertisement and animal cruelty. Hope this helps.
Many cultures think some animals are sacred for example: Egyptians: Cats Hindu/ Indian : Beef and they don't eat anything from the animals either so if something was sacred to us then we wouldn't want things tested on them.
We just have to Remind the people the law.
Absolutely. Animal product testing is unnecessarily cruel and generally not required by law. In 2007 the U.S. National Academy of Sciences called for a shift away from animal toxicology tests towards other testing methods. Over 500 US companies now are "cruelty free" and have stopped or have never tested on animals.
