Drug Testing On Animals

Are you ready to put innocent dogs, cats, monkeys, rabbits and mice through horrible, torturous tests to look your best? These animals are tested to determine the safety of products from skin care for public use. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) does not require animal testing for products skin care, so why go through the torture of helpless animals? Who knows why, but I do know is that there are big companies big name that does not test on animals, and is frowned upon to animal testing entirely. There are alternatives to animal testing that are humane and environmentally friendly way. Think twice before putting anything on your body that have been tested on animals

The companies test their products on animals to determine the level of skin irritation, tissue damage to eyes, and toxicity of a product they are looking for on the market. Rabbits are often attached to any "scientific" puts chemicals in and around the eye of the rabbit. This is extremely painful for the rabbits screaming and sometimes break bones trying to escape their constraints. Lethal Dosage tests are done to see how a product would be needed to kill you. Dogs and monkeys are force-fed toxic substances through stomach tubes, inhalers or spray until they die. Animals suffer convulsions, vomiting, paralysis, and bleeding from the nose and ears. If it is not inhumane I do not know what that is.

When animals are tested on the results unfortunately are not quite correct. How do you accurately determine the toxicity of a substance for a human being when you are testing it on a rat or a dog? The toxicity in a rat of a mouse is completely different, why would anyone think that a rat and man would be anywhere near the same thing? Not to mention that animals of different ages of man and something that can be toxic to a child can be toxic to an adult. The results are simply too inconclusive to continue to see animals as the testing standard for cosmetics.

There are testing methods that keep animals, consumers and the environment happy. Using human tissue cultures, and eye bank corneas cuts the need for animal testing. Some companies have begun using computers and sophisticated mathematical models, and the use of all natural, non toxic ingredients to achieve the same desired effect. I mean when you have all the information you need about why humans go and test on an animal?

Even if the FDA does not require animal testing for products skin care, and although the EU has banned animal testing from early 2009 and extends to prevent any and all products that are tested on animals in 2013, many companies still test on animals in the United States. Generally having much to do with technicians and researchers trying to keep their jobs and the legal aspect of the situation. Legal services companies like to use animal testing in the case of a lawsuit to avoid being held responsible. Illiterate consumers dislike is partly to blame. Those who do not care should be ashamed of themselves, and those who do not should know as much as possible about any product they use. If the product is tested on animals and is toxic to animals, logic would dictate not common that it might be in some cases be toxic to humans?
