midterm outline

product testing on animals

  • cruel and not needed
  • no ban on testing products on animals
  • painful circumstances without any relief
  • can lead to blindness, death, and scarring
  • even though we test to make sure the product is safe for humans, that doesn’t make it right
  • once the experiment is over the animal will most likely be killed. if the animal is not killed then it will be used for other experiments in the future years
  • more than 90% of animal testing has failed
  • the goal of the EPA is to get rid of animal testing by 2035
