Animal testing can be expensive due to the costs associated with maintaining laboratories, housing animals, and ensuring compliance with ethical and regulatory standards.

Ultimately, the cost-effectiveness of animal testing varies based on the specific study and its requirements.

Does animal testing happen everyday?

Animal testing is heavily regulated in the UK and the US (among other countries), and cosmetics tested on animals are certainly illegal in UK and some other European countries; the European Union is gradually phasing out cosmetics that have been tested on animals in other countries too.

It should be noted that drugs/medicines are required by law to be tested on animals before they are even considered for human testing in the UK, US and Japan (among others). In the UK, this can include cosmetics with medical uses, such as Botox or anti-ageing creams.

Britain is thought to be the highest user of animal testing in Europe.

What are the disadvantages of animal testing?

The disadvantages are:

  • It could harm the animals
  • People might not want to test on animals so as a business you could lose staff
  • animals could become dangerous
  • animal testing could be run as a business so more intent on making money than actually caring for the animals
  • Animals could be mistreated

The biggest disadvantage of animal testing is the harm, pain and confinement of the animal.

The biggest disadvantage of animal testing is that the animals used for testing are not humans and any results derived from animal testing may or may not be useful to humans. I can be a matter of the animals suffering for nothing.

Another important thing to keep in mind about animal testing is the frivolous nature of the substances tested on animals. Most animal testing is not for the purpose of evaluating lifesaving drugs but for outright commercial purposes, such as cosmetics, food additives to make something keep its puffiness or enhance its color, or an ingredient added to a product to enable marketing to call it new and improved when in fact it doesn't work any better it's just a new color or texture.
