Why is Animal Cosmetic Testing Still Happening?

Why is animal cosmetic testing still happening? Cosmetic testing on animals has been dated back to the early 20th Century, before War World II. Healers and makers of medication anatomized animals with an interest in collecting understanding for their research. One physician, named Galen, declared he would rather use a pig as a test subject to “avoid seeing the unpleasant expression of an ape” (Gross 36). However, the morality of animal cosmetic testing has always been questioned. Humans don’t want to consider animals as being on the same level as us, but they are just as important as us. In the 1920’s, the usage of vaccines and drugs were performed experimentally and conducted on breathing animals, without turning their minds to think how similar animals are, just like us. Animals grieve and have emotions. Known for his disturbing procedures, Relado Colombo would dissect a fetus out of pregnant dogs and then rub burning vaccines on it in front of the mother. Despite her own suffering, the mother dog would bark uncontrollably until her pup was by her side (Monamy 9). We now speak for animals, because this proves we are the voice for protesting against animal cosmetic testing or allowing them to go through any more horrifying procedures. We must outlaw animal cosmetic testing, so animals don’t have to suffer; there aren’t enough proven results to regard it anyway.
Humans and animals have attributes similar to one another, wide qualities of emotions, moving from one emotion to another. They have a different communication method and understanding, but they have an evolved understanding over time, like developing deaf communities between human and animals, using hand gestures, whistling, and identifying objects. Sadly, scientists are...

...Human Society are two companies willing to protest against animal testing. Jacqueline Traide is an example of dedication and will power, showing how willing she is to sacrifice herself and put words into action.
The European Union banned all sales of any cosmetic materials that have been tested on animals since March 2013. Additionally, companies from all around the world (except the United States) will abandon testing in the European Union. However, in the United States, animal testing is still continuing even though they have alternative testing. This is excellent news, because it mentions there are non-animal tests out there, though some testing facilities choose not to use them. This news brings some relief to those who care, as some countries are stopping this horrible mistreatment of animals. It is, practically saying that this is a victory for some animals.
