      Hi!

      I personally have never tested anything on an animal. However, it is common practice to test the medicine on animals before giving it to humans. We need to do this because if we were to give it directly to humans we could seriously hurt someone.

      It is sad, but the medicines we make save hundreds of thousands of lives every year.

      I don’t think testing make up or perfume on animals is fair. That is not saving lives and purely for our own vanity.
