How many companies use animal testing?
There are plenty of companies out there who do not test their products on animals. It would be impossible to either give you a number of companies or attempt to list all of the companies that don't however I can teach you methods of figuring out which companies don't on your own. Many times you can find this out on the packaging, companies that don't test their products on animals will state this proudly somewhere on the packaging. Also caringconsumer.com has a list of both companies that test their products on animals and those that don't.

What is the science behind animal testing?
Stage 1: Human Cells - Early tests are done on human cells grown in a laboratory. Scientists try out different concentrations of a possible new drug. They test it on different types of body cells with the disease. These tests check how well the chemical works against the disease. They also give data about how safe the drug is for cells. Stage 2: Animal Tests - If the drug passes tests on human cells, it is tried on animals. Animal trials are carried out to make sure the drug works as well in whole animals as it does on cells grown in the laboratory. Stage 3: Clinical Tests - If the drug passes the animal trials, then it can be tested on people, these tests are called clinical trials or human trials. They give scientists more data about the effectiveness and safety of the drug

What are the advantages of animal testing?
Advantages of Animal Testing

Animals are in abundance, so scientists can perform larger numbers of tests that could be done on people at a cheaper price. Life saving drugs are tested on animals and it is a fact that the white rat has saved more lives than the calling of 911.
Without animal testing, the cure for polio would not exist. Neither would successful blood transfusions or organ trasplants. Diabetics would suffer or die.

Animal testing can be expensive due to the costs associated with maintaining laboratories, housing animals, and ensuring compliance with ethical and regulatory standards. Additionally, the expenses related to veterinary care and monitoring can add to the overall costs. While some aspects of animal testing may be less costly than other research methods, the financial burden can still be significant, especially for long-term studies. 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.

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.
