I was recently shocked on seeing a news item about how cosmetic companies inhumanely torture animals in the name of testing. What is even more surprising is that it is not mandatory for the companies to test their products on animals. Due to the testing every year, thousands of animals are blinded, tortured, suffocated and killed. Some of the methods used for testing are very cruel. For example, for testing of shampoos - rabbits' eyelids are forcibly kept open and shampoo is applied to their eyes. This can go on a stretch from 7 to 15 days. Sometimes the rabbits unable to take the pain, try to escape, breaking their backs or necks. There are similar horrible experiments being conducted on animals. The good news is that there are many companies like Revlon, Avon, Maybelline who do not use animals for testing. If you are an animal lover, boycott the products of companies that have animal testing procedures.

Animal testing for cosmetic products is cruel but why it is unnecessary?and any body can tell me why iit is necessary?
:confused:
Posted by: rosliza at February 25, 2004 11:51 PM
rosliza, I think with today’s advanced technology, there is no need to test on animals atleast for cosmetics anymore. That is the reason why, most products come with labels saying they were not tested on animals.
Posted by: Shanti at February 26, 2004 08:44 AM
But for what reason they test cosmetic products on animal. And what can technology do to safe animal from being tested?:huh:

Hey…i am 14 and doin an essay and talk at school on this topic and i found this page 4 research i never thought animal testing was this bad .:shocked: and i am going to show how bad it is…i can’t believe that they do that to those poor animals…Films like “Legally Blonde 2” do highlight these cases but people do not take it seriously and i think it is a world wide problem that needs to be tackled quickly
Posted by: Megs at March 3, 2004 12:46 PM
Good luck on your research, Megs! Things like this are horrific and need to be exposed for they are - awful treatment of innocent animals.

who ever animal tests must be jerks who could do such a thing i dont get it and its all for stupid reasons:shocked::evil::angry::(

i think it is wrong what they are doing and they should stop.how would you feel if you were that animal:huh:
Posted by: me at May 6, 2004 01:28 PM
:evil:animals should not be used in animal testing it is morally wrong and cruel. Testing on animals will get a different result than on humans this needs to stop!:angry:
Posted by: kaitlin at May 6, 2004 01:29 PM
It is not right that they are killing poor innocent animals for testing different kinds of products.
They should stop because what if one day your pet or an animal that you love is going to be used for testing.
Posted by: Keira at May 6, 2004 01:33 PM
I believe that products should have to state whether or not they do animal testing because then I would discontinue the use of their product.:angry:

:( i am currently working on a research paper for my english class my topic is all about animal rights and animal testing. i am totally against it and i think it is disgusting how people think they have the right to kill animals, especially with the experiments that are unnecessary and that humans do not benifit from whatsoever.

i think that animal testing is necesarry. would u rather them test on humans and kill us
Posted by: dbear at May 26, 2004 08:25 PM
They wouldn’t have to test on humans. There are alternatives. I am also doing research on this and it is absolutely horrifying. Most of the time it’s not even accurate. Animal testing is SICK.:evil:

I have been reading over some sites on animal testing and have came across a few disturbing things. A lot of well known products have lost my custom! Also there were a few pictures that will haunt me for life.. I have never seen anything so cruel as the helpless, innocent animals dying so we can have a new brand of shampoo.

I am 14 and I am doing a personal project on animal testing. I think that animal testing is imoral and should not be allowed. What they do to the animals is so cruel and they put them through so much pain and torture. No one is allowed to do that to another person so why should anyone be allowed to do it to an animal.:angry::(:huh:
Posted by: Nee at June 27, 2004 04:22 PM
i would love to stick the make up on the people who invented this crap and let it burn there eyes and let them break there necks.Anmials were not put on this earth for human experiments so some women can wake up 1 morning and hide all her ageing skin e.g. wrinkles before her husband can find out that she is a ugly old bag.Animals are beutifill creatures and do NOT deserve this kind of treatment SO COME ON PEOPLE LETS GET OFF OUR ARSS AND LETS DO SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THIS, THAN JUST MAKING A WEBSITE COME UP AND PROTEST. TOGEATHER WE CAN FIGHT THIS
Posted by: sarah at July 6, 2004 06:31 AM
Well First of all…i don’t understand why is it just 14 and 15 year olders doin the research again and again… :tongue3: …. And as for the animals getting such treatment i would rather talk about the cruelty that a lot of humans are facing (not that i don’t realise that its extremely cruel to treat any living being like this)….. The dishonoring and killing of people… This world is becoming a mess where they don’t just kill animals rather it doesn’t seem far that in the name of “America’s National security” they would do the same with humans…. :evil::evil:
Posted by: A Man at July 6, 2004 03:08 PM
hi, i think that cosmetics shouldn’t b tested i cant believe it is still happening, there are much better ways 2 do it, animals do feel things 2, it just shows that human can be such cowards and bullies!
Posted by: me at July 11, 2004 11:11 AM
I cant beleive why such an innocent animal would be treated like that:huh:, wat did they ever do to us to deserve such pain and misery:(. If we r gonna test make up or anithing, then we should test it on ourselves!. At leasts it wouldnt do any damage:mad::evil::evil::mad::angry::confused::evil::huh::mad::shocked::tongue3::(
Posted by: nattee at July 20, 2004 03:27 AM
I am 13 years old and recently I have been doing a project for ICT at my school. It had to have bias in it and we had to choose a topic that you could find out about on the internet. I chose animal testing as most people believe that it is wrong but I don’t. I believe that testing cosmetics on animals is wrong but testing medicines and cures for diseases such as cancer, leukemia etc. is good. People have been saying that we should test these things on ourselves, though I doubt these people would be willing to have it done to them. If you were seriously ill would you rather one animal died and scientists found a cure, healing thousands of people or would you prefer it if you and the thousands of other people died?
Anyway, we do suffer for the animals. They don’t fall ill with HIV, Aids, leukemia or cancer whereas we do. This has turned out longer than I wanted it to be. I’m not saying that you have to agree with me, I’m just saying that you should actually think about it before you go writing things about protests etc. (sarah from 6th july)

i am 14 and doing a speech against animal testing as i think that is very wrong. this website is very good as it helped me realise what the animals have to suffer for our vanity of looking good by using make up. it is stupid how animals lives are wasted, and completly unessecary.
Posted by: elaine at September 6, 2004 12:05 PM
I think that animal testing is really cruel. I think that there is plenty of other ways that products can be tested. They don’t need to put poor inocent animals in pain because the animals don’t have any way to protect them selves. Products that are going to be used by people should be tested on people.
Posted by: Tara Vosburg at September 9, 2004 07:19 PM
:evil: animal testing should not be done cuz the gov. wouldnt like it if it was tested on them and they died. would they?
Posted by: mandy at September 10, 2004 11:43 AM
I hate whoever came up with the idea animal testing i didnt know how bad it was until i read this website and it isnt right.
Posted by: Brooky at September 15, 2004 08:38 AM
I just think it is so supid that people would want to do something like this to something that is so harmless. I feel that all shampoos and make up are the same, so therefore what do we need fifty different kind for? Since there are alternatives rather than using an animal then they need to do it.

Posted by: caity at September 21, 2004 08:27 PM
I think it is so wrong for animals to get tested on. I mean why not do it to prisoners who are in jail for their life. They are just going to die anyway. and take a small mouse for exampe, if you injected that little mouses body the mouse would probly die, but if we did it to ourselves then it would only take a tiny tiny bit of our body and probably not harm us at all . so why do it to animals that will probly die when you can do it and not be affected hardly at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is so stupid what they do to animals. How would they like it if we forced their eyelids open and poured somthing into their eyes.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!angry man angray horrified.

Hey I am 13yrs old and I am doing an essay on Animal testing and I have been going to different sites and seeing how the animals suffer it is horrible animals should not have to go threw all of that for humans. How would they feel if we put shampoo in there eyes. There would be other ways on testing cosmetics they should use humans not animals, animals cant protect them selves we need to protect them and not hurt them!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Laura .C at October 9, 2004 08:59 PM
:angry:I am the voice of the voiceless,
And I shall fight the fight:
Till the world shall set things right. This is a quote on animal testing. Would you enjoy it if you had chemicals being rubbed in your eyes everyday? Or drinking a large amount of poison every week that would make you die in less then 2 hours? A puppy once saw another puppy being murdered, and it knew what was going to happen to him too. He gripped the floor and cringed. About 600 companies currently test their products on animals. Every time you buy a product manufactured by an animal testing company or a product tested on animals, you are paying that company the money needed to test on animals. Check google images 4 photos. You think that is gross? Wrong!! They get a lot worse. It will only take a sec.

ok im only 17 years old and i think it’s bs for what they do to those poor animals. It’s like if we were kept in a prison and being forced to do something we didn’t want to do, but then it’s ok for people to test their products on these animals. No! thats just not right. i don’t care who they think they are.
Posted by: sharon at October 25, 2004 10:17 AM
Hi, I don’t agree with using animal testing for laudry detergent, shampoo, make-up and stuff like that, but if animal testing could find a cure for something, I would stand behind it 100%. If I had a child with a disease and the only way that it could be cured is for experments to be taken on animals than I would beg them to proceed with any experiment on any animal. Any mother would tear an animal apart with her own hands if she knew it would save her childs life.
Posted by: Starla at October 25, 2004 06:39 PM
hi my name is kayla and im doing a debate at school for animal testing i am only 12 years old but i adore animals and will stand up for them.I will be there voice and i think animal testing is very wrong because animals dont have many rights since they cant talk so they can’t stand up for themselves so they are forced into things like animal testing and this is sick imagine yourself in a labritory a healthy animal that can’t do anything imagine have poison forced into your mouth everyday i especually fear for rabbits they have to go through different types of shampoos put into there eyes.Some of them even try to escape only to end up worse and get hurt,francly i don’t blame them for trying to eascape from a place were they get tortured night and day.I stand up for these animals because testing on them is not right.

Procter and Gamble is the worst company for animal testing. Every year they kill thousands of animals just to make some money. Their products include IAMS dog food (ew, you should see what they do to the dogs- its disgusting and inhumane) Covergirl, Max Factor, Crest, and a whole bunch of other products. Its sickening. And the fact that there is safer alternatives to animal testing makes it even worse. Besides, animals and humans have totally different make ups, so they may not even have the same reaction to certain products as humans will. Animal testing is cruel and unnesessary (sorry, its late here and I can’t spell)

:angry: animal testing is wrong! I believe it does nothing but hurt the poor animals. Recently I’ve been doing research for a position paper on animal testing and I was shocked at the pictures I saw. :huh: I don’t understand why this has to happen. That’s probably because it doesn’t need to happen. If you check out the website: http://boundaryschools.com/perley/classpages/kehlergidney/webpages/animaltestingBPT/animal_testing.htm you’ll see what I mean. I wish I could stop the unnecessary testing being done on these poor animals :( . Hopefully, one day animal testing will be gone forever!
Posted by: Andrea at December 13, 2004 10:29 AM
Even though animal testing with cosmetics may sound harsh , unfortunately the testing is nessary. One cosmetics testing cannot just stop or close down. Secondly there is no good alternate source for testing.
First of all, animals are the only things cosmetics can be tested on. Then there is no alternate way to do the testing, and if there is the another way to do testing it would not be as effective as with animals. Next some of the burns you see on rats and mice will be on humans if the cosmetics were not tested on animals.
Secondly, the animal testing is done on animals that already have some disease or disorder. Also if you are wondering why testing is done on rats, the answer is because rats multiply quickly and uncontrollably and if testing wasn’t done you might have rats in your house and nobody wants that to happen. (Do they?)

okay seriously, who in their right mind would slice open dogs and cats just so humans can benefit from it?? I’m writing a persuasive paper on animal testing and i have found so much information about animal testing, and ive learned that there are other alternatives that have been proven to be more accurate, efficient, and less expensive. I’d assume that companies that do test on animals know about these alternatives, but who knows why they havnt switched to them. We can live without mascara and shampoo, and other cosmetic products, but we cannot live withtout animals. animals are half of this world and we need them, life would be so boring without. im just confused on how so many scientists can be paid to kill animals. the animals are the ones who should get paid, because they have to go through the pain and agony. ya thats all i got to say.
Posted by: emy at December 15, 2004 09:55 PM
I am too writing a persuasive essay on Animal testing. I am against it… My main supporting detail would have to be the fact that the stress the animals endore in laboratories effects the test subjects greatly. Making the experiments useless..
Anything else you guys have?
Posted by: Kevin at December 16, 2004 12:24 PM
man u guys are right amimal testing with cosmetics is really cruel. there are a lot of alternet ways to do testing and people are not taking it, its just wrong. For example if you are a girl (or even a boy) would you want bug guts and cow bone in your lipstick, chapstick, and lip gloss. Well cow bone and bug guts are there. Then there are other ways to to the testing other than to kill animals. You can use the body parts that are donated. And now we also have the technology to clone so for the testing you can clone skin cells and use them for testing. I hope i have made a point dont kill animals in the name of cosmetics.

anmial testing is just wrong. i’m doing a research paper and i learn so much about it and the anmials that hve to suffer b/c people are selfish . thereshould be other ways and there are so they should do that instead of torturing anmials b/c they arelife and have feeling. just /c we cant feel it dose’nt mean they don’t.

Animal testing is disgusting. i have tons of animals and i can not beleive that they treat them like that. what the hell is wrong with americans these days? I am native american and we loved all animals as we did the earth and ourselves. i mean i just do not understand why they do not test it on humans they have no right to test it on animals i mean if it just goes out to humans to use anyways. i think that them hurting an animal or killing one is just like killing a human the people who do this should be shot and they do it for money. no one needs money! i would never hurt an animal for money!:evil:

Stop the killing! There are heaps of alternatives! Animals feel things to you know.

:evil: its wrong to test on animals because it infinges on their rights. its not right for humans to decide what rights animals ‘deserve’ . animals deserve respect and protection. Even if testing is meant for the good of humans, its taking the rights of one species over another. NOT COOL.

Why in the world would people need to do any of that in the first place? is it cuz we cant feel the pain of thoose poor abused animals? thats the way i feel and i hope this generation will revolt against theese companys! protest outside of their main office!! do something to help the animals!! can you imagiane the pain they go through? well if any thing has ever hit you smack dab in the face let this do it!!! it is wrong! let people think what they want to but tell they why you thinkthis way!!!

I am 16 years old and as a lot of others i am researching animal testing for a paper i am writing. I think that it is just wrong what they do to little animal so others out there can be pretty. I really don’t need special shampoo or eyeliner at the expense at some bunnies life. What really confuses me is why they use the animals in the first place. they really could just use alternitives. I guess i can understand the medical aspect of animal testing but to harm animals is just wrong. It makes me mad to see the pictures that they have. :mad::shocked::huh::confused:

this is bullshit..animals have feelings to , pinch a dog it yelps poke a bunny with a needle it bleeds so what is the point of animal testing.

:angry: I am doing a report on animal testing for school. i am against the whole thing. i think what they are doing to animals is wrong. no matter what anyone says they are not going to stop until on of the government peoples stands up for the animals. they also think that animal testing is needed. i dont think that it is. there are other ways to get the test done. :evil: so they should use those instead of killing almost 3 million animals. im so disgusted by how people can do that to animals. it makes me really sad. i know that there are alot of people out there that agree with me and would do something if they could. :huh: well im gonna go now that i said what was on my mind. later!

Animal testing is so wrong. Cosmetics are used for humans not themselves. People should volunteer, if they want advancements in technology.:angry:
Posted by: Hannah at April 12, 2005 11:27 AM
:angry:Animal testing is wrong. Somebody should make this illegal. i feel that we as the people of the earth need to take a stand and do something for those who cannot say anything. I wish that people would wake up and smell the coffee and make their minds up. Thisi is a very wrong decision to m ake.
Posted by: katie at April 18, 2005 10:16 AM
Animal testing is so stupid since the drugs we test on animals dont have the same effect on us anyways. Some drugs cause blindness to people, but they passed animal testing. Same as arsnis it is toxic and casues cancer in humans,but when they tested it on an animal it didnt do anythin gto the animal. So if we arent getting trustworthy results then why are we testing the chemicals on the animals.
Posted by: Zabrina at April 20, 2005 11:59 PM
Animal testing is unjust…un nessisary…and ANIMAL ABUSE..if i were to go out…buy a rabit take it home and call it my pet the pour shampoo…nailpolish remover and other stuff into its eyes i would be arrested for animal abuse…*sigh* but im just another 13 year old with opinions:angry:

I don’t know why everyone makes such a fuss about some stupid animals. I say if animal testing will save my life, go on ahead. Screw them.
Posted by: rene at May 2, 2005 04:31 PM
Who cares about the animals. If they ever find the cure for cancer, what will a bit of testing really matter? We have to sacrifice some thngs for the greater good. Stupid animal rights activists can just shut the f**k up, those ass holes.
Posted by: rene at May 2, 2005 04:33 PM
I am unhappy by some of the pictures i have seen of animals being tested on. I understand why the government wants animal testing but it is unfair to do something so horrible to a creature who is defensless. They do not get a say in things cause they can’t talk and they have to suffer for our benifit. Any normal person would see that that is wrong. Imagine you were one of those creatures in the cages. It’s wrong and you know it!

If companies can get on so well without testing then why do some companies keep doing it. Why can’t they understand that it is making a living, breathing thing suffer. I think people that work in such places are sadists (people who like making things suffer)

hi, im susan. i am doin an individual talk about animal cruelty in scientific and cosmetic research and testing. I feel that it is completely wrong but i need more information about the topic… can any1 help me?
Posted by: Susan at May 3, 2005 10:34 AM
Animal testing is just wrong! I mean, those scientists are just hurting and killing animals.
Why don`t they test it on themselves and see how it feels! :angry:
Posted by: Ashley at May 3, 2005 02:48 PM
Animals deserve the respect of humans. Just because they are not quite as intelligent as us or think about things like we do they are still living creatures and all living creatures deserve respect. Over 70 million animals a year are taken and tortured so that girls can wear make-up. Rabbits are routinely blinded, not for safety or testing purposes but for the companies safety. Don’t ask how that is suppose to work but they do it anyway. They say that it protects them from having complaints from customers… how could making hundreds of thousands of rabbits blind protect them. They are all off their frikin heads, talking about the stupidity of people testing cosmetics on animals makes me as mad as the devil. who ever came up with the idea of animal testing should be slapped so hard!!! They say that the world is becoming overpopulated, why can’t they ask for volentiers or grow tissue in labs…. they are d*$k heads, the lot o them!

hi my names kym and i’m 16, i believe that animal testing is wrong. iv seen som o da pics o animals testd n i ws nearly sick. i saw dogs wi there baks and bellies burnt off, monkys chained to chairs, cats pulled apart with machines. itz horribl… u gotta agree with me!!!!

Posted by: Kym at May 3, 2005 05:26 PM
“I hav seen things like no other… i bleed without do anything, pin pricks, burns appear on my stomack. The pain is unbairable… kill me now!” this is what an animal in a lab would say to you… why do they do it?
Posted by: Fred at May 4, 2005 07:55 AM
I am 15 and doing an essay on animal testing for english class. After I read the paragraph up top I was incomplete shock cause I had no idea that it has gotten that bad. I think that it should be stoped now before they hurt anymore animals. I still can’t believe that companies would do it even though they don’t have to do it.
Posted by: Jessica at May 4, 2005 12:03 PM
i agree with jessica!
Posted by: Jenifer at May 7, 2005 03:14 PM
I am 13 years old and I am doing an essay on this topic and I found this site for research. I never knew that animal testing was this crucial. And my teacher always tells me that animals have no rights…or souls…so it doesnt matter. I totally disagree with my teacher and believe there is something to be done. This should be taken more seriously and be taken to an end.
Posted by: Kelly at May 8, 2005 11:55 PM
Hi Jess n lauren… I also agree that animal testing should be banned!! poor lil fings didnt do anything to deserve it :angry: Anyhoo i better go do some more research..:mad:

I dont understand, companies still use cosmetic testing on Animals even though Alternatives have been made. I know Pamolive-Colgate are killers for it, so dont buy their products and then hopefully they will learn. Thank goodness there has been a decrease in the number of animals hurt, but look at the number of alternatives we had, but still they choose to put animals through pain.
Posted by: rissa at May 15, 2005 01:48 AM
hey, even thoguh I think animal testing is wrong. But in my recent debate project, I changed my mind a little bit. Animal testing is wrong, but it doesn’t really do any harm at all, scientist could still balance the ecosystem very well. And if you are buying a product, you would probably want to know if the product is safe to use or not right? Without testing the product on animals, who knows what the side effect or harm there will be.
Posted by: Alyssa at May 17, 2005 05:50 PM
i have a lot of animals and having people waisting their time and money for others to be beautiful is just plain sick. Did you know that millons of dollars are wasted on people killing animals for reasearch? well, i do and i think it has just got to stop. and i dont mean when the next 100 years come… they should start NOW!!:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry: Why they do this you say… their just sick!!!!:smartass::smartass::angry::angry::angry::angry:

hey alan-can you tell me why animal testing is necessary with the all new technology we have?
Posted by: Lauren at May 30, 2005 07:43 PM
Animal testing is sick.Wats da point of hurting animals.Animals hav the same right as humens.leave them alone
Posted by: louise at June 7, 2005 04:35 AM
animals should have the right to say no too, that is why we are trying to speak out for them. Every one is saying “oooh animals are nothing like humans, you cant compare them” well yes i can, they feel just like we do, they get scared, and protect their young, just as we do.
i say if they want to test a product this bad, that they test it on humans. Thier lives are being stolen from them, because we are greedy!
this is a sick world
Posted by: natalie at June 7, 2005 10:22 AM
animal testing is unnecessary…with all the technology these days it is pointless to still use them after all its not a law i mean animals dont want to wear make-up so why are they tested on for it:huh:
Posted by: jenne` at June 7, 2005 09:33 PM
this has really helped me, as i have to do a project on this and it has made me think how much they are going through we have to stop it before they start to kill and test on more animals.:angry:
Posted by: gemma at June 8, 2005 12:08 PM

I think that animal testing isn’t all that bad and I think that most of you people are exzagerating, We eat animals don’t we? We wear animal skins don’t we? What’s so different about performing tests on animals??
Why should we car about animals when there are starving people in our world, people dieing for no reason!! I can understand that people can care about their animals but Would you rather your best mate die of cancer or a thousand mice be sacrificed?
Posted by: Taylor at June 19, 2005 09:25 PM
k, I just stumbled on this… first of all, everyone seems to assume that testing always includes killing the animal… from a non scientific perspective, probably an animal isn’t much good to you for testing if you kill it… and how exactly do you kill an animal with shampoo? I’m sure that animal cruelty does exist, but I have a hard time believing that these scientists enjoy killing little doggy’s in their labs if it doesn’t give them credible information. Why would companies pay people to do scientists if they weren’t getting information from the studies beneficial to us??? this all seems way to tree huggerish for me, but if there is a problem, I’m all for solving it. Isn’t it already a law to say whether things were tested on animals? the fda is corrubt enough I can believe it. Heck, they’re still letting these companies put that one poison.. what’s it called… aspartame.
