This cartoon demonstrates how it feels for an animal to be tested on. They don't care that they might have shinier fur after or that their lips are a beautiful shade of pink. What they do care about is the absolute pain and torture they have to go through when being tested. "Every year, millions of animals suffer and die in . . .tests to determine the 'safety' of cosmetics and household products. Substances ranging from eye shadow and soap to furniture polish and oven cleaner are tested on rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, dogs, and other animals, despite the fact that test results do not help prevent or treat human illness or injury" (http://www.mercyforanimals.org/cosmetic_testing.asp). Its not fair to animals; why should they be tested for our safety, not theirs? Animals should be treated better. After all it is a crime for people to abuse their pets, but why isn't it a crime to test cosmetics on animals when its basically the same thing? "Many household products and cosmetics companies still pump their products into animals' stomachs, rub them onto their skin, squirt them into their eyes, or force animals to inhale them as aerosol sprays"(http://www.peta.org/actioncenter/testing.asp). Its pretty much the same thing and can also cause death. It is not fair to the animals that have to go through the test. Its not right to do testing on humans but what makes it even better to do it to animals?
