I may be OK with it for medical research. But the cosmetics industry can survive without maiming and killing animals.

@LindaOHio My friend said that it was a necessary evil all for the betterment of mankind.

I don't care for the use of any animal. They all can feel pain.

I'm on the fence about this. We need new advances in medicine. We don't NEED new advances in cosmetics. Even rats can be pets. Where do we draw the line?

It definitely is a subject for discussion.

@LindaOHio We don't need to maim and kill animals for cosmetics.

I like the idea of drawing a line. Like it should be done only and only if it's super necessary. Nice thinking.

Some of the things they have done have been necessary, but most are totally stupid. What did the public school system gain by making me dissect an earthworm in 7th grade (other than something the janitor had to clean up)?

We had to dissect frogs. I never saw the necessity except to make us smell like chloroform.

Thank you for mentioning that !! It's as an unnecessary disgusting inhumane thing and that's it.

No, it is not necessary, it is cruel and it must be stopped. I am against animal testing.

@lindaohio It’s obviously wrong, especially for cosmetics.

@LindaOHio It’ll never go away of course. People will always be able to justify animal cruelty in order to get what they have to have, and they’ll believe whatever lies industry invents to help their consciences.

@xFiacre I always thought that I'd like to work in a lab; but I could NEVER do any testing on animals.

i grew up in the house of a scientist, he used to complain about animal testing. Dogs, rabbits and other non-primates have different reactions than humans so he would say waste of time. I think there has to be better ways.

That is very interesting - thank you for sharing. We all assume that testing is necessary - maybe its not, or if its done, it has little benefit?

@DocAndersen I didn't know that about the different reactions; but that would make sense.

@LindaOHio it is why NASA and others used specific monkeys that are very similar to humans.

I don’t like the idea of inflicting pain or suffering- but there’s the question of will it help save lives? I wonder, if it is deemed absolutely necessary (not for cosmetic use) could the testing be done without any discomfort at least?

@LindaOHio I hear ya

Seems the more 'advanced' technology gets, the harder the questions.

Thank you for posting your opinions. I don't think that animal testing can be done without any pain or discomfort.

I feel it's not right but for human safety it has to be done

You would think animals have no feelings and do not suffer, It is not humane and when one of the outside cats here named Silky comes to visit she looks at me with so much love, I kiss the top of her head and she meows, Such a darling cat anyone would hurt her they could be sure to hear from me,

They shouldn't do this to animals, unless maybe it's for medical research.

I thought about this and I couldn't find the answer. Like should we test on humans ? Can we ask humans if they want to volunteer ? What if we pay them for volunteering ? Maybe we'll be pushing the poors to have tests done on them.. I truly don't know

Here in the United States we pay people to take certain medications, etc.. They are called clinical trials.
