Dear companies that still insist on testing on animals,
First off, why? Broad question, but seriously. Is it necessary to test on our furry friends to keep humans safe? Sure, maybe years and years ago when we didn't have face recognizing smartphones and exercise tracking apps, it was our only (sad) option.
But we don't have to put animals through this pain anymore.
Just in The United States, guess how many animals are, "burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused" in labs each year? Over 100 million. AND over 90% of labs aren't even counted in animal testing statistics. That's disgusting.
But guess who has the largest cosmetic market worldwide? Europe. And guess who doesn't test on animals yet successfully holds this title? Europe. (Israel and India have also banned animal testing, too!)
So, American cosmetic companies, how could you possibly give up your precious animal testing while making sure your buyers are safe? Well, there are many ways!
- You can test on human cells and tissue after placing them into test tubes
- Use MRIs and CT scans for non-invasive testing
- Utilize computer models and virtual drug trials.
The possibilities are endless AND give more accurate results! With no harm! Would ya look at that!
Some may say that animal testing is the way to success, but clearly, we have other options that are working in favor of animals AND the economy. Way to go, Europe.
America, let's not be stubborn. Let's make a change and utilize the amazing technology we have at our fingertips. Let the innocent bunnies and mice go back into the wilderness where they're supposed to be, unharmed.
