While these numbers have decreased in recent eras, there is no doubt that the incidence of reactions occurring after product testing is still relatively high. Our society has been utilizing animal testing for centuries and it is currently considered the “default method” for research so its understandable that finding new methods to test and research products is difficult, but it is completely possible and should be done to stop animal suffering and to assure that the testing being done is worthwhile and will give accurate
