Testing Animals

Have you ever stopped and thought about that lotion you put on your face  or that lipstick you put on your lips to make you look younger and more beautiful.  You do this every morning, just to impress that one boy? Then all that effort goes to waste because that one boy doesn’t notice you? Whats the point? Do you actually believe that lotion is making you younger or prettier. So why do we do it day after day month after month year after year century after century. All you’re doing is practically killing innocent little animals you might aswell just inject those bad chemicals right into that fluffy little bunny’s leg! Well this is what i’m going to talk about today, how that lotion and lipstick is affecting innocent animals. And how you can help stop it.	Here are some interesting facts about testing animals: The first ever living things to go into space were 2 dogs Belka and Strelka, 40 mice, 2 rats and number of plants. But the first reptiles to reach the moon were a pair of Steppe Tortoises, sent by a company called Soviet Zond 5 All of these animals returned alive. Some of the “dead,” animals that were killed in laboratories  were then shipped to schools where the children like you and I were given sharp, pointy scalpels and were told to cut the innocent animals up. So they could learn about the inside world of animals. Is this necessary? Do you have to pick up that blade and slit open that little animal?  When you can look on the internet or youtube. 92% of the experiments that are safe and effective on animals actually fail on humans because they are too strong. This means the animals all die. Such a waste of a cute animal. Lots of the chemicals were forced down the animal’s throat, dripped into their eyes and onto shaved skin.
But why didn’t they send humans to space instead of animals? Well the reason for this is: people think that humans are more important in life than a few very innocent little animals.	Anyway lets look on the good side of things, for example, the United Kingdom have banned testing animals in 1998 and the European Union banned it in 2009 so thumbs up for them! Though I do have to say so myself there are a couple of companies that don’t test products on their animals here in New Zealand for example: Avon and Revlon. So my advice is always check the label and see if the product is tested on animals or not and don’t support the companies that don’t support the animals.
So that lipstick and lotion aren’t as important after all are they? Do you want to save some animals I hope you do because it’s very simple just simply stop putting lotion and lipstick on your face. Show the world what you can do!
