Animals should be treated just like a human. Humans would not want to be tested on‚ therefore‚ humans should not perform these harsh tests on animals. The animals do not deserve to be thrown away‚ such as one would do with a used tissue. Before one looks at buying makeup‚ they should think of what brutal tests the animal had to endure for that small tube of lipstick just to be applied to their lips. Animal testing should not even be legal because if we can have them as pets then we should treat them

We have been testing on animals since the early 1900’s‚ but it’s time we put down the scalpel and put away the cages. In today’s time we have the technology to test on computerized patient simulators that are more accurate than animals.
