Cons-+Introduction

   Why animal testing is bad  Animal testing is the use of non-human animals in research and development projects (//"Animal Testing")//. Animal testing first started in 1933 (//Cullifer//). It normally occurs in laboratories run by medical and cosmetic companies all around the world. Testing on animals calls into question the treatment and cost of the animal’s lives for something like mascara or moisturizer (H//umane society//). Animal testing is mandatory for things like cosmetics medication and cleaning supplies. Although there are many alternatives to animal testing, it is still used as the main testing technique.

Animal testing calls into question the treatment of animals, the difference between animals and humans immune systems, and the unnecessarily high cost. Animals are often mistreated in laboratories, and when they are rescued they are found with minor to severe mental and physical damage. Human and animal immune systems are very different, and there are often hazardous consciences to mixing the results of animal testing for medications and cosmetics with humans. The cost of animal testing could be replaced with alternatives, that only cost a fraction of the cost of alternative methods.
