Animal experimentation.

What is animal experimentation?

It is a scientific method that aims to use animals for scientific experiments.
Most of the animals used for research for the specific purpose of testing and few of
these animals are raised in the wild.

Which of you uses products from these brands?

These brands are known not only for their products but also for animal experimentation.

Causes and effects:

1. Cause: Marketing.
Effect: consumerism.
In order to sell the products, marketing encourages consumerism and fights people’s
unconscious emotions, especially low self-esteem and the desire to belonging to a
group.

2. Cause: cost saving.

Effect: demand.
For companies, the costs are lower when they do their experiments on animals so at
this time there isn’t laws that protect animals’ rights.

3. Cause: create the need.

Effect: increased sales and experiments.
By reducing costs in the production of the product and in the social responsibility for
the effects that can cause its components, companies can offer cheaper prices than
products that have been made with quality ingredients and ethical and social
responsibility.

4. Cause: lack of animal laws.

Effect: companies can do whatever they want.
The longer it takes for animal laws to be approved, companies will continue to take
advantage of the legal void until they are economically affected by sanctions.

How are animal experiments?

These companies you see here are the best known in animal experimentation, they
intentionally cause diseases in animals to test their products without caring about their lives.

Some of these experiments are:

 • Contact Lens Solution: Inserted into the eyes of rabbits, more sensitive than human
eyes.
• Soap: They force the irritation of the skin of shaved animals.
