No because surely can we not find an alternative? (I'm not religious) But animals are precious much like humans. The animals are mostly kept in awful conditions. That's torturing an animal for human benefit. I find it sad. I especially cannot stand the thought that an animal is being used as a test subject for make-up, how disgusting and selfish of us. I can reason more with animals being used for treatments. But still, we must look into alternatives. Side: No
No because surely can we not find an alternative? Thanks to the FDA, human testing is illegal without animal testing. Not that I am against animal testing, but government regulations are to blame, mostly, for preventing innovations that could eliminate or limit animal testing. Much like seatbelt laws, no company is going to invest money into creating a new product or method if the law will most likely strike down their results. Side: Yes
