Most of us have heard about animal testing and we see the labels on our beauty products occasionally saying that they have or have not been tested on animals. However, animal testing goes beyond the idea of washing a dog with shampoo to make sure they don't break out or lose all their hair. Thousands of animals are losing their eye sight, mobility, safety, and even lives due to animal testing through out the United States and it must end. These animals lie in cages their entire lives fearing the next experimentation they'll have to endure. When someone walks past their cage they become terrified and their blood pressure spikes according to a PETA article done on the injustice of these acts. "The stress, sterility and boredom causes some animals to develop neurotic behaviors such incessantly spinning in circles, rocking back and forth and even pulling out their own hair and biting their own skin." This quote says it all. These animals have the same reactions humans have so it isn't okay for them to suffer this way. Many people don't realize the products they're using contribute to the painful lives animals are living in these testing facilities. There skin,, eyes, mind, and spirits are killed through animal testing. Help end this tragedy by becoming aware of products that support animal testing and try and stop supporting those corporations.

ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Hannah Taylor,
ReplyDeleteWow, your blog really touch me deep down inside my soul. I literally cried while reading this blog post, it made so sad to hear about all the animals that are being used in test labs. Without any hesitation the sentence that stood out to me was; “Thousands of animals are losing their eye sight, mobility, safety, and even lives due to animal testing through the United States and it must end.” It’s saddening to know that these poor little animals are being violated for the sake of the next shampoo or beauty product. To be honest I did not know they still used animals for testing. I have to agree with the following statement, mainly because like other people I am very unaware of the reality in front of me. The statement is, “Most of us have heard about animal testing and we see the labels on our beauty products occasionally saying that they have or have not been tested on animals." Products should tell us the truth, no matter what it takes. I appreciate you for writing this topic, something needs to be as soon possible to help protect these defenseless animals. I would love to read more of your blogs. They strike my interest and especially my emotions.
