Content: 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. Countries like the U.S.A, Australia and New Zealand are taking steps to ban animal testing all together. ( Thew) Additionally, we should become actively involved in efforts save innocent animals here in the U.S. Not only can the government take steps to protect animals, but individuals can also make a difference. For example, if we all boycotted products that use animal testing in favor of cruelty-free ones, the companies who still use animal testing would lose profits and their stocks would go down. This could force many companies to try and find alternatives, putting us one step closer to making animal testing a thing of the past. With 100 million or more animals harmed every year due to animal testing, change is needed.
