Most people enjoy having a nice fuzzy sweater to wear on a cold day, or makeup to put on and make yourself feel good. But do you know what they have to do to make you those clothes, or that makeup? I know everyone here has a very busy schedule and I would just like to tell you, the company of L’Oreal all how honored I am that you took the time out of your day to hear me talk to you about why I think you should stop testing on animals.
Animals and humans are not the same. We do not react the same way to things. Just because a chemical does not react badly on an animal does not mean it will react the same on a human. So why would we test on animals, if it is not 100% worth it, and guaranteed to work on us. “Relying on animal research and testing to protect and improve human health is not only unsafe, but also expensive, time-consuming, and unreliable.” According to http://www.neavs.org/research/limitations. I understand all other points, saying that we need to find out somehow if it is okay to use on humans, but the other points simply just do not sit right with me. “Studies show that if you flipped a coin to guess how a human will respond to a certain drug, your prediction would actually be as accurate as if you tested the drug on a nonhuman animal.” I think this statistic is very eye opening. It proves that animal testing is basically a 50-50 shot. What happens if it is the bad 50%? People die? Is that okay with you? I know I now feel unsafe using products tested on animals, knowing it really did not help. This proves animals are being tested on for no good reason. We can use other ways to test these products out. Or if they have that much of a risk of being a danger to us, maybe we just shouldn't use them at all.
Could you imagine being trapped in a cold, dark, cage not even big enough for you to turn around? It would be torture.This is what animals are going through. The cages are cold, dark, and wet. Giving all these animals diseases (which also does not help the credibility of testing on animals.) It is inhumane, and unnatural. The way these animals are treated need to be stopped. If anyone has a pet, could you imagine your pet being treated the way these animals are? Treating animals like this is abuse, and your company is apart of it. Stop promoting animal abuse by letting these scientists continue on torturing these animals. Animal testing needs to be banned in every city, every state, and every country.
Animal testing is cruel, and inhumane. We have prisons full of murderers who could be perfect for testing on. With testing on criminals we would then be 100% guaranteed that the product was safe or unsafe to use on humans, which we could never possibly get while using animals. Animals are being tortured every day, for doing nothing wrong. It is torture, and not how living creatures should be treated. Although I do understand that we need to put human safety first, testing on animals is not the way to do it. If you stop animal testing with your company, you could be helping. One company at a time we can overcome the horrendous process of animal testing.
