I am not aware of any program that uses elephants in animal-related experiments. Elephants maintained in zoos or animal sanctuaries are often monitored extensively via physical exams, blood tests and non-invasive images so that scientists can better understand wild elephants, but that is the extent of testing on elephants.

No but it should be because testing on any animal is physical abuse. The animal has no choice in it and that should be illegal. I have seen awful pictures of Chimps with lipstick, Elephants with eyeliner. It should be illegal, because it is truly abuse.
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.

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.
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.
Some (in)famous brand names that use animal testing are: Avon, Arm & Hammer, CoverGirl, Johnson & Johnson, Revlon, and Suave.
animal testing is when scientists use animals to find out how they react with different chemicals. They would be injected into the animal and then they woul see what the animal would do and record what happened.
Animal testing helps to cure diseases and to discover new cures and vaccines for both, animals AND humans. It is totally normal that humans use animals to test on because we use nature for our own health. However, animal testing used for cosmetics is completely cruel and unnecessary.
Horses and elephants.
There is no alternative. Every day, thousands of peopleare saved from painful diseases. However, we simply do not have alternative methods of testing. Until we have a better system, we must use animal testing.
