Article Draft:

Although the article from Wikipedia "Testing Animals on Cosmetics" consumes most of the information from my sources I found, I did notice that there were a few important alternatives and methods that weren't included. Some of the methods that I found that weren't on Wikipedia were time efficiency, requiring less man power, and cost-effectiveness. Factories that test on animals would use those 3 factors and tell the public that it was the best method to use if we wanted the best results for cosmetics. Wikipedia also forgot to mention the Three R's: reduction, refinement, and replacement. Different methods and alternative organisms are applied to implement this strategy. Various methods have been suggested to avoid the animal use in experimentation. These methods provide an alternative means for the drug and chemical testing up, to some levels. Another serious problem that wasn't mentioned in Wikipedia were the different types of animals that were mainly used for animal testing. The animals that are still being tested on today are your own pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and rats. In the past, cats and dogs were being taken advantage off and were being tested that ended up killing them and leaving them in awful condition in a lab. Dogs and cats are less likely to be used today, it is more of the little animals being tested currently. Animals are being burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in U.S labs everyday unfortunately. 92% of the tests they do on animals that are safe and effective drugs fail in human clinical trials because they either don't work or end up failing. It is very heartbreaking because it could be your own pet you love and adore and just like how they are being tested for a product that isn't even guaranteed effective and safe for humans to use.
