Animal testing is a very cruel, unethical and inaccurate way to test cosmetic and cleaning products for safety. Human and animal testing agree only 5-25% of the time, according to Huntingdon Life Sciences and can be replaced by 450 methods! So not only are these tests unnecessary, but cruel. Two examples of this are the LD50 test, in which Grups of animals are dosed with different amounts of a test substance in order to determine the dose which kills half of the animals, and the Draize eye-and skin-irritation test, in which rabbits are in full-body restraints while a substance is dripped or smeared into their eyes or onto their shaved skin.
According to PETA, they DO test their products on animals and have made no efforts to stop this. It is time we ban together to fight animal cruelty!
