The cosmetic industry has been around for years and years providing flawless faces and odorless bodies. But before these products can be sold, several tests have to be done to determine risks and reactions to the human body. So why are these products being tested on animals?There are thousands and thousands of cosmetic products such as mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, and perfume manufactured every year. To make sure that our bodies wont have any negative reactions to these products, all these things are being tested on animals to get a sense of what would happen.
Companies such as Avon, Boots, Yardley and Revlon have all pulled away from this horrible testing process. So why haven't other companies followed their footsteps? Is it because testing on animals is "cheaper?", a way of "protecting" the environment?, or just done for the mere purpose of human safety? All these excuses are being used in order to carry on what they are doing to the animals they have victimized.
The truth of the matter is that these animals have severe and negative reactions to these products. So not only is animal testing inhumane,unreliable, expensive, and meaningless, but it is also unhealthy to the animals. According to ClearLead Inc., side effects include irritation, allergic reactions, bleeding, liver problems, and even death.
So with all the laws "protecting" animal's rights, why do people keep finding more and more ways to hurt them? If scientist are looking to see how a human body would react to these cosmetic products, then why not test them on human body parts (that have been donated of course)? It is no mystery that animal bodies are built and react differently to those of humans, so wouldn't that mean that all the results from the testing being done are inaccurate?
