What companies do Animal testing and which don't?

Answer 1

They use materials that are already accredited as safe. This does not necessarily mean however that animals were not used in the past to test these materials.

One must also understand that there are over 240 alternative methods of testing that don not involve animals. The only reason testing still exists is mainly because of the large amount of money that is exchanged between labs and breeders.

There is amazing software that has been developed, that can almost accurately predict the type of reaction that chemicals will have.

A synthetic skin has also been invented. this is absolutely amazing, because even though it has no human or animal product in it, it behaves exactly the same way that human skin would when exposed to chemicals.

Animal testing is inconclusive, and as a result 90% of all test results are discarded anyway.

People defend animal testing, because they do not want humans to be the testers themselves. However, every single product on the market is tested on numerous humans before it hits the shelves. So its not like testing on animals has much point. Also, medicines and surgical procedures were delayed for several several years because of animals behaving a different way that humans woulkd have.

Here's a fact that I thought was quite interesting.

If we took the results of animal tests as true, we would say that lemon juice is poisonous for human ingestion, while bromine, iodine and hemlock would be safe.

Says a lot, huh?
