Is it morally ok to test cosmetics on animals? Yes I think it is morally ok for us to test cosmetics on animals. Otherwise our cosmetics we use could harm humans. It may be cruel to do this to animals , but just think if you did this to humans. You would not be so worried about animals being tested on then. I would rather several animals to have suffered than several humans from lack of testing.

Imagine putting on lipstick but knowing you have a risk of something happening to you because tests were not put through for the human safety because they were worried about the animals health. So animal testing is beneficial to humans. Would you rather humans being killed because of the product not being tested or animals so we can insure that our lives are safe?

I did not think so, now would you want to wear make up or any cosmetic knowing you could get serious rashes, breakouts, or more life threatening diseases. Now would you want to use those products knowing the threatening things that you would risk doing those? Now just imagine not buying any makeup because you don't want to risk any of those side effects. Also it's not like we are making the species going extinct if they were they would make sure not to do testing on the species anymore, and it is not like every single test kills the animals so it is not that bad for them after all. So it is not a bad thing to have animal testing especially if they do not harm animals in death every single time and it helps humans so we don't get sick , die, or even have minor side effects.

So animal testing is really beneficial when you get the full truth and not just part of the story, many people will just look at testing on animals and think it is bad but if they were to look at the cause for it they would change there mind. Then they would understand that just because something looks bad on the outside does not always mean it is bad, so they just put a label on top of it saying it is bad no matter what proof is given to prove them wrong they just stay to their opinion. To conclude I personally think that doing testing on animals is within morale reason.
