anybeth I think that animal testing is such an abuse to this creatures, we do not own them , the government does not own the animals to do as they please. We as humans have the wrong idea of living longer, taking care of ow planet but we are the ones killing it and destroing our surrondings. I think all componies should used the sinthetic source of skin that will give a similar reaction to all of these products .The saddest part is not only how the suffer but how after all these animals get killed or abandond because they do not need them for any of there cruel proceudres.They have no soul , nor feelings. Things is that we woulndt like to see one of our family memebers with an infected eye or allegies or bruned skin or killed but animals dont count ... It is all about common sence in this world and you need to take action for it. 6/14/2011

Smarty Pants would you rather test cosmetics on people?
also, they wouldn't even exist if there were no need for them, so how do you want to save lifes if there is no life to be safed?
how about concentrating on real problems like world hunger or war... think about it		 5/10/2011

Cassie. I think animal testing in cosmetics or anything is horrible! I mean if your really willing to kill a poor innocent baby animal to make yourself look good,Then you obviusly need alot of work done! How would you like it if someone tested things out on you.Would you be willing ,to pretty much kill yourself for somebody you don`t even knows "beauty" ? I think not. I think animal testing should be STOPPED! 11/16/2010

Erika Pahapill I think that animal testing for cosmetics is morally wrong; I think it should be illegal for any company to use animals for testing cosmetics. The exception would be, perhaps, if, for example, the testing was shown to cause NO SUFFERING to the animal. 5/20/2010

Annie Y. I think that its not right to use an animal for cosmetic, because its hurting the animal and you should think of yourself being an animal, and they came and took you in and did that to you it would hurt or maybe you will die, so think of them and for yourself if that were you. It's wrong that your doing this to them. GOD made them to live and see the world and they have as much right to live as we do on this earth. Animals goes through a lot of pain and suffering and this cosmetic testing should STOP ! 5/13/2010

Chris "Animal testing in the cosmetic industry has been used for THOUSANDS of years but today, due to the efforts of animal activist groups; alternative measures are being developed for the same, without the use of animals. "

jack784t When it comes to animal testing in my mind i think of two things, the testing of animals can be correlated directly back to the testing on the jews in WWII. Stop animal testing unless you want to start referring ourselves as Nazi's to animals in such a great country 12/3/2009

megan i think that it is horrible that people hurt poor, innocent, little animals. I think people should follow this and buy products that do not do animal testing. 4/30/2009
me Animal testing is wrong- for cosmetics. But can you honestly say that if your mother or spouse was dying from AIDS or cancer you wouldn't want to do anything in or out of your power to fix it? Can you tell me that you would sacrifice a couple animals to save her? Can you say that if you were dying you wouldn't want to find way to live? 4/22/2009

shelly youre so right animal testing is horrible and should never ever be used on any animal of any species for any purpose 1/20/2009

Ken Ro It hurts the precious animals! THAT IS JUSt MEAN! 1/9/2009
Ken Ro I think that animal testing should be wrong if very hurtful chemicals are involved! 1/9/2009
Chrissie I strongly oppose animal testing for cosmetics with all of my heart. It is brutally unfair and barbaric. Why should poor benign animals have to suffer for people to embellish their faces, it is ridiculous. Cosmetics barely have a purpose, they do not cure deaths but they do kill animals. Additionally statistics show that humans have a different reaction to these products anyway which makes it even more futile.
In conclusion if people are so desperate for cosmetics why not use products produced by companies such as: Mary Kay, the body shop, avon and many more.		 12/29/2008
Alex Animal testing is crueal 11/14/2008

Tammy i hate that poeple test cosmetics on animals! animals have felings to and although they can't talk, that doesn't mean that people should treat them this way! 10/8/2008
cad The author of that first quote is not unknown. Itīs by Stephen Fry, a famous British comedian. 9/30/2008
langteacher.OSU very few tangible examples
-what alternate meathods are being developed?
-what does animal testing dealing with neurology or flies have to do with cosmetic animal testing?
-which companies do not stick to the facts and how don't they (the readers won't know which companies you want us to support and stay away from unless you tell us)?
-how do animals react differently than humans? could you provide an example?

you have a good foundation of ideas, but you do not develop them enough with support. it looks like you still need to do some research and revisions, but good start.		 9/15/2008
Rara i hate animal cruelty including animal testing and animals in captivity [zoos circuses]
i think this should be banned
x		 7/20/2008
anonymous i think that is SICK that they do this to animals and harm them... and for what...so they can put a bit of make up on to look nice. well most people actually look better without make up and how is it the animals fault?
if they didnt get hurt during the process then that would be a different story but unfortunatley they do and the people who carry out these kinds of tests are sick.
these animals are helpless and people that so these kinds of things should be tested themselves.
see how they feel...		 5/31/2008
luca Animal testing is wrong...everyone has feelings wheaterr you're an animal or a person ! if someone has to suffer all this for a bottle of mascara...is there really any point in wearing it? 5/24/2008
