Why do companies still test products on animals?!
Aren't we an advanced enough society to where science would exclude the need for animal testing these days!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I agree that there is no need to test products such as cosmetics and cleaning materials on animals, and I'm very much against animal testing in that context!.
As someone who owes her life to animal-tested drugs though, I am not convinced that there are more reliable ways to test drugs!. I wish there were, but I'm not convinced, and it is too simplistic to argue that animals are not physically the same as us or that some drugs that have been found safe in animals have proved unsafe for humans!. Most medical advances would not have taken place without animal testing!.
Sometimes we have to choose the lesser of two evils!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We haven't developed analogs yet that are safe for testing drugs!. Just watch one drug add on TV, the side effects of approved drugs are scarry!. Would you want to take a chance giving your baby a drug that was tested on a computer analog!?
I'd like to see non-medical testing stopped but there are cases where chemicals need to be tested before being approved for humans!. Back in the 70's a number of people suffered severe eye damage from using a shampoo that wasn't tested on animals first!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. We still need to know what products might do to us!. My question is, why don't we test human products on humans!? they are for US aren't they!? =)
I'm so torn between this, because I don't think humans should be subjected to that kind of cruel experimentation either!. One way or another, scientists need to know what sort of side effects will be caused by certain products!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Testing on animals is generally better than testing on people!. Most drugs would not be around were it not for animal testing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They do and it is an AWFUL thing to do!.
