Animal testing is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study. The United Kingdom was the first country in the world to implement laws protecting animals. In 1822 an Act to Prevent the Cruel and Improper Treatment of Cattle was passed by Parliament. The UK government has publicly stated that animals are sentient beings, not merely commodities, and has confirmed its commitment to the highest possible standards of animal welfare. Animal Welfare Act, an overhaul of pet abuse laws replacing the Protection of Animals Act, came into force in England and Wales in 2007.

If these animals are being treated humanely then there should be no problems.

All testing should be carried out on people who are guilty of crimes committed against children, rapists, terrorists, traitors and murderers!
@8QGVXSZ4yrs4Y
I think we should test non cosmetics as long as no serious harm is caused and testing is stopped if this occurs. More checks should be carried out regularly

@95ZR3W53yrs3Y
make animal testing something that has to be authorised by the government or a gov department which manages animal safety and/or preservation of life or animal rights. And make testing extremly unprecedented.
@8ZY9DSW3yrs3Y
No, only use volunteers and criminals who are awaiting the death penalty
@8W94B763yrs3Y
Use peadophiles and sex offenders not innocent animals
@8VJ7MGJ4yrs4Y
Use those sentenced for paedophilia or certain types of murder to test the safety of these
@8QJ78BL4yrs4Y
Not cosmetics. If testing has serious affects than testing should stop.
