For many people, cosmetics are a part of everyday life; from shampoo and toothpaste, to a full face of makeup.

Each year, more than 100 million animals- including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds -are killed in the U.S laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetic testing. But some people dont care about that. Some people say  Animals do not…

Studies in the beauty industry have shown that the over 170,000 vulnerable rabbits have experienced pain in laboratories around the U.S. annually (Nava-Martinez 53). Animal testing in the cosmetic industry consists of chemicals intentionally being seeped in numerous places of an animal’s body to monitor any damage to the body that may occur (Doyle). An…

To the professors and experimenters who vouch for animal testing, It is no means for your research. Right now, an assortment of vulnerable animals is locked inside barren cages in laboratories across the country. Not only is animal testing morally and ethically wrong, the multi-billion dollar industry that encompasses the pharmaceutical and chemical chains, is…

All medical products and drugs require preliminary testing to prove their effectiveness and safety for public use.

Every day, over 115 million animals are trapped in steel cages, waiting for a latex-gloved hand to reach in and whisk them away for another day of testing. These animals are used to test the safety of products intended for human use, improve our medicines, or investigate the effects of products or procedures. Using animals…

Animals are used in scientific research, help us to gain significant knowledge about human physiology and pathological mechanism because of their similarities to human in many ways and are being tested as human models since 500 BC. They contribute a lot to the invention and development of newer types of drugs, vaccines, diagnostic investigations, antigen…

Animal experimentation is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables which affect the behaviour or biological system through vigorous study. In 2018, 3.52 million procedures which involved living animals were carried out in the United Kingdom(1). 1.8 million of them were for experimental purposes. These procedures included using non-human…
