Are there any other ways to test products or drugs besides animal testing?!
How many people that disagree would step up and let these companies test on their families, including their children to stop animal testing?
Answers: Products and drugs need to be tested on animals. I want them safe for my vegan family.

not without testing them on actual people
I read this book, and it had research based on cells and like they didn't have to use animals and it was very accurate. I don't remember what it was called though, sorry!
Hi and thanks for asking! I can give you several links to check out. aavs.org

You can also go to caringconsumer.com for more info about companies who do and do not test on animals, they will even send you a shopping guide with a list of products not tested on animals and some that do not contain animal products to take with you while out shopping.
Here are a few alternatives to animal testing:

A couple of the most commonly used non-animal product safety tests include:
Murine Local Lymph Node Assay (ILNA), a method for assessing the allergic contact dermatitis of chemicals. The peer review panel concluded that the ILNA is a valid alternative to currently accepted guinea pig test methods, and that the ILNA reduces the number of animals required for testing and eliminates animal pain and distress.
Corrositex, an in vitro (test tube) method for assessing the dermal (skin) corrosivity or burn potential of certain classes of chemicals using a collagen matrix barrier as a kind of artificial skin.

Your company may want to contact The National Anti-Vivisection Society (http://www.navs.org/) or PETA for more info about testing alternatives. No law requires that cosmetics/products be tested on animals, and over 500 companies do not test on animals, so clearly it is possible to make products safe without causing animals to suffer. Good luck.
