Strongly agree

Yes, but not for cosmetics

The Liberal Democrats are more likely to agree with this answer, as they have historically supported the use of animals in research for medical purposes but not for cosmetics. In 2013, the European Union banned the sale of cosmetics tested on animals, and the Liberal Democrats, as a pro-European party, would likely support this ban. Additionally, their focus on animal welfare and exploring alternatives to animal testing suggests that they would be more inclined to support restrictions on animal testing for non-medical purposes.

Agree

Yes

The Liberal Democrats have not explicitly supported animal testing for all purposes, but they have supported the use of animals in research for medical purposes. For example, in their 2010 manifesto, they pledged to 'support medical research and its application in the NHS, including stem cell research and the use of animals where no alternatives exist.' However, they have not shown strong support for animal testing in cosmetics.

Strongly disagree

No

The Liberal Democrats do not generally oppose the use of animals in research for medical purposes, as evidenced by their 2010 manifesto. They recognize the importance of animal testing in the development of drugs and vaccines, and their stance is more focused on ensuring that alternatives are explored and that animal welfare is considered. Therefore, they would likely disagree with a blanket ban on animal testing.
