Animal testing is it right? 1.0

Okay so, who thinks animal abuse is right?.. No one, then why do we harm or kill animals for a material needs? I think it’s just not right. In brazil on the 8^th of May 2014 animal testing for cosmetics and toiletries was banded in hope to show something to the world and to influence other countries to do the same and in March 2013, the European Union banned the sale of any cosmetics or cosmetics ingredients that have been tested on animals. This is all an effort in trying to make other countries adopt similar laws and restrictions however the US and china along with many other countries are having none of this and still have not banded the sale of cosmetics tested on animals. Do you believe they should ban the testing on animals? Why should they suffer because we want more than we need?

Here are some facts about animal testing from the website: https://www.dosomething.org/facts/11-facts-about-animal-testing

1. Over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned and abused in U.S. labs every year.

2. 92% of experimental drugs that are safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials because they are too dangerous or don’t work.

3. Labs that use mice, rats, birds, reptiles and amphibians are exempted from the minimal protections under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA).

4. Up to 90% of animals used in U.S. labs are not counted in the official statistics of animals tested.

5. It’s mandatory for all products to be tested on animals in China. Meanwhile, the European Union issued a ban on the sale of new cosmetics that are tested on animals.

Animals aren’t just used for testing, we looked at them being used for cosmetics and guess what, they are also used for other things related to cosmetics. The most common one being makeup brushes ‘’ Makeup brushes are commonly made from squirrel, mink, sable, horse (sometimes called “pony” or “camel”), or goat hair. Mink and sable brushes are products of the cruel fur industry. Every year, millions of animals are trapped, drowned, and beaten to death in the wild and strangled, electrocuted, or beaten and skinned alive on fur farms. Horse hair is commonly obtained from horses who are slaughtered for their flesh. Squirrels are hunted or trapped, and goats are shorn like sheep. Workers are often paid by volume, so they shear the goats quickly, which can result in serious injuries. Many makeup brushes are manufactured in developing countries where there are few or no animal welfare regulations.’’  http://www.peta.org/living/beauty/synthetic-make-brushes/
