"Many manufacturers of personal care and household items still test their products on animals, despite the growing number of alternative methods for evaluating product safety. The following list contains all such companies known and their associated brand names. This list originally was compiled from two primary references (cited at the bottom of this page). In addition, it is updated as new information is made available to us. We do our absolute best, but we cannot fully guarantee its accuracy, so please use the list accordingly--and do let us know if you can offer any further updates. You may wish to print out the list and take it along next time you go shopping! Please also note that all over-the-counter medicines and/or their ingredients are extensively tested on animals, as currently required by the FDA."

Do you think animal testing helps make products safe? Why or why not?
I don't think animal testing helps make products safe because they may effect animals differently than humans.

I think animal testing does help make products safe, to an extent. Like Josh said, it could affect animals differently than humans. However, it is inhumane and I am completely against it. We should find another way to test our products.

Animal testing helps tremendously to make products safe, however it is completely unethical. The only reason it is still done is because it is "cheaper" than more humane alternatives
