It started in the early 20th century when chemicals were being used for cosmetics that caused blindness and skin burns. With the help of "muck-raking "(scandal-digging) journalists the Federal Government was shamed into requiring testing of cosmetics on animals before they could be sold for use on people. By the end of that century the welfare of people was demoted to a lower importance and not-being-tested became a selling point.
