Content: If there are other more accurate alternative methods to testing on animals, why are we still testing on animals? If in certain situations, there is no clear alternative to animal testing, a solution could be to modify a procedure to reduce the pain an animal feels. If scientists were to use a milder dose of the product or give a pain reliever during the procedure, this would reduce the pain and stress an animal endures during the procedure and could produce better, more accurate results. Also, if the number of animals used in the experiment is reduced, the number of animals harmed during experimentation would also be reduced. Finally, if companies use products that have already been tested and proven safe for human use to make new products, the need for animals in experimentation would further decrease. America should join the club of countries that have banned animal testing. The European Union was one of the first to ban the import and sale of animal-tested cosmetics. Norway has stopped the use of new animal-tested products, but pharmaceuticals and drugs that were already on shelves will remain. Israel is the third country to ban cosmetics, toiletries, detergents and other products that involved animal testing. India has become the first Asian country to ban cosmetics and made non-animal alternative tests mandatory.
