Testing on Animals
Although animal testing is commonplace in today’s society, there is an increasing amount of people who are actively looking to buy products that are not tested on animals as well as campaigning for the banning of all animal testing.
While most would agree that the suffering that the animals go through in the testing process is not ideal, it is often considered an unfortunate side effect in order to produce products that are safe for human use. Others argue that an animal’s life is just as important as a human’s and you can’t spare one to save another.
