Agree

Yes, but not for cosmetics

The UK Conservative party may be more likely to agree with this answer, as they have supported efforts to reduce the use of animals in cosmetic testing. In 1998, the UK banned cosmetic testing on animals, and the EU followed suit in 2013. The Conservative party has generally been supportive of these bans, but their primary focus remains on the importance of animal testing for drugs, vaccines, and medical devices.
