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.

So long as it is ethical and heavily regulated

Only if there's no chance of physically harming the animal
@965Z5RY2yrs2Y
No, it should be illegal due to the fact that animals are not humans meaning that the products should not be used on animals but on people since it is because of them. If we had a medicine for animals we don't test it on humans we test it for animals since it is for animals, it should be the same for humans.
Yes but with regulations in place
