Effects Of Animal Testing On Cosmetics

Have you ever wondered what is the story behind products and cosmetics? Well, today you are going to find out what happens. Animals testing is a very favored way to test to see if a product or cosmetic works how it is supposed to on humans. Over 100 million animals die each year because of animal testing alone, the animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused. This sounds like a cruel thing that should not be legal, but it totally is. In only 50 experiments, about 12,000 animals have to be tested to see if all products work how they are supposed to. If it takes that many animals to find that it works perfectly, you would think this product would not be harmful to humans since it takes 12,000 animals for testing. Think again, 92%
Animals used in experiments usually deal with force-feeding, forced inhalation, no food and water, very long periods of physical restraint, the pain of burns and other wounds to study the healing process, the infliction of pain to study its effects and remedies, and killing by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, neck-breaking, and decapitation. According to ProCon.org, “The Draize eye test, used by cosmetics companies to evaluate irritation caused by shampoos and other products, involves rabbits being incapacitated in stocks with their eyelids held open by clips, sometimes for multiple days, so they cannot blink away the products being tested." Many animals have to suffer for products or cosmetics for many months or even years. Even after all these testings that the animal had to suffer from, some products still fail to work on humans. This sounds like animal cruelty. This should not be allowed for any company to do this just to make its product work on humans.
Animal testing waste billions of dollars, more than 16 billion dollars are wasted on animal testing in the United States alone. So much money is spent to make a product work and the animal just ends up dying and the money just goes down the drain each time that happens. According to Peta.org “monkeys are spent the most which is $21 million dollars alone." That isn’t all, 92% of those test has failed. Peta.org says “$16 billion can provide $833 per month to 1.6 million veterans
Animal rights are violated when they are used in research. Animals and people are alike in many ways. We both feel, think, behave, and experience pain. Animals should be treated with the same respect as humans. Still animal rights are violated when they are used in research because they are not given a choice. They are never given the option of not participating in the experiment. Animal testing is wrong no matter how much humans could benefit because the animal's basic right has been violated. Their decisions are made for them because they cannot say anything or make their own choices. When humans decide the fate of animals in research environments, the animal rights are taken away without any thought of their being. Just imagine if we are treated like this by animals. Do you think this would feel right or more like an abuse? For me, this isn’t right to evade someone's rights of living how they want to. If it does not sound right for a human to be treated like this, then why should animals be treated like this? It does help people stay safe sometimes from testing, but why should animals have to suffer still? We are in 2016, why can’t scientist make a solution that can have a simulation of human
