even if the results don't help, we need "someone" to test general drugs on... poor animals? yeah, but what do the opponents suggest?my mind is busy to google
if you buy anything with a leaping bunny logo........ thats assurity its not been tested on animals, well in europe it is, i dont know about anywhere else
and i think the europe parliament is outlawing testing of cosmetics on animals by 2009
revlon, one of the biggest cosmetic industries, who were previously guilty of this ........ now maintain they have stopped animal testing
cells can be grown in a tube ....... theres really no need to keep testing on animals
eye make up is tested on rabbits ........ but why?? rabbits dont even have tear ducts
Using animal for testing cosmetics was banned in the UK about eight years ago and the EU has agreed to a total ban which should be implemented by 2009.
The biggest cosmetic company L'Oreal stopped testing on animals way back in the eighties so I cannot understand why other companies haven't followed suit.
It is not justifiable but I don't think millions of animals are maltreated Pearl.....I think it is quite a small number these days.....doesnt make it right though
