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.

absolutely not, animals should be used to test out potentially dangerous substances. they do not deserve that abuse
@9NM5RSM10mos10MO
Yes, but not for cosmetics and only if voluntary study participants in trials and studies can’t be used instead.
Don’t test products on animals but humans in a controlled environment. Accelerate drugs testing in humans
@9KG9VZL1yr1Y
Only for drugs and treatments that can help create a better quality of life, ban cosmetics testing as it doesn’t serve a practical purpose only to increase vanity

@9P7GQ3610mos10MO
Yes, but there should be stricter regulations for the safety, health and environment the animals live in.
@9MV6NFV10mos10MO
Yes, not for cosmetics, but we should deregulate allowing growing of human tissues to test on, and massively incentivise research here

Yes however it depends on the type of animal the use of rats should be used and monkeys but not animals such as dogs
@9PGJ5Z610mos10MO
Yes, as long as it doesn't cause too much harm to animals and they can live good after testing, also don't do it for cosmetics - use human tissue instead.
