Why should testing on animals should be banned? The harm that is committed against animals should not be minimized because they are not considered to be "human." In conclusion, animal testing should be eliminated because it violates animals' rights, it causes pain and suffering to the experimental animals, and other means of testing product toxicity are available. There is an estimate that approximately 100,000-200,000 animals suffer and die just for cosmetics every year around the world. These are rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats and mice. This is the reason why I strongly believe that testing cosmetics in animals should be banned. Help me save animal lives by signing petition. There is also cruelty free makeup brands that don’t test in animals, so why not make all the makeup brands be cruelty free.
