@9FL248Z1yr1Y
Use animals that will cause less public opinion to conduct experiments, and prohibit the use of endangered animals and nationally protected animals.
@9RCRJ4F4mos4MO
Definitely not for cosmetics, and not for situations where the substance places humans at little risk. All other options should be considered before animal testing, it should be an essential need for examining the action of the product or process.
@9KMLH9M9mos9MO
Yes, but only for things that are necessary to our lives, like vaccines, but not anything connected to cosmetics.
@9KDYD2W9mos9MO
Use proven criminals, convicted of violent crimes, who are in prison for 10+ years (or a life sentence)
@9JZP7TY9mos9MO
testing on animals should be avoided and only to be done in very restricted circumstances such as in medical safety only and restricted to only certain animals like mice and rats.
it depends on if the drug makes the animal unsafe for human consumption, if it does then no, if it doesn't then its fine because the animal wasn't used just for testing
@9JWQKH89mos9MO
I agree there should be a boundary here of some sort cause of the organs. yet again the animal cruelty so depends I guess
@9JSPMXF10mos10MO
Yes, but not for cosmetics and only if it's a necessity to ensure the medical safety of those whom may be affected by the product.
@9J34VJW10mos10MO
The testing of vaccines, medical devices, and safety of drugs has been vital for scientific research, however, society needs to weigh the ethics of testing. Animals that are considered "pests" or have a large population, and similar anatomy of humans should be supported, while protecting more vulnerable species. Research that can benefit human lives should be prioritized over cosmetics.
@9HH82DG12mos12MO
Researchers should not be allowed to use animals for testing if the effects have been heavily predicted to cause harm or if there is another method to safely test the products.
@9GPTJ2D1yr1Y
Yes but not for cosmetics, and it should be made illegal out as soon as an alternative viable method becomes available (regardless on any increased cost to R&D)
@9FPG8CX1yr1Y
Yes, BUT we must increase oversight to ensure that it is done ethically
Only those animals who have been bred for the purpose of scientific testing, and ensure it is done as ethically as possible.
@9FFRDFV1yr1Y
Yes, only of it is ethical and does not harm the animal
@9FFQHPC1yr1Y
it depends on the types of products being used. if it is likely to harmfully affect the animal, it should not be allowed
@9F98QST1yr1Y
Only if absolutely necessary and the animals are treated with respect but dont allow for cosmetics
@9F928G61yr1Y
Yes, but not for cosmetics with great oversight to ensure the animals are treated well and kept in good health.
@9F85KSF1yr1Y
never is it okay to perform testing on animals.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
Testing on animals is cruel and unethical.
@9F3YN581yr1Y
This is a difficult issue to dissect. It would be best to move away from exploiting animals in this way but we also need ways to test treatments before they go to human trials. I would be more concerned with the wellfare of the animals and their quality of life, they don’t deserve cruelty but they can offer us much needed answers.
@99LTGDL2yrs2Y
So long as it is ethical and truly necessary for safety reasons.
@maddypaigem3yrs3Y
No, humans that have committed heinous crimes and have no chance of returning to society should have these tested on them.
@98N25SY2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for medical purposes such as vaccines, drug safety etc. But it should not be allowed for cosmetics. This should be allowed as long as the animals are being treated with care and not being treated as props.
@9TLDMJL2mos2MO
Research a more ethical way to test these products while also maintaining the safety of humans. Maybe lab rats are fine.
@9ST9W5X3mos3MO
No, do the testing on people in jail instead. Why not test on an actual human that’s in jail for the rest of their lives.
@9RXS4P4 4mos4MO
i feel like it is cruel to test on animals but the death of a rat is “less cruel” than the death of a human for testing on humans. it’s a grey area.
@9MGN5666mos6MO
I think they should only use animals that are suffering of a disease and will soon die but if they require a healthy animal then the use of healthy animals should be limited.
@9L8JRVWBloc Québécois8mos8MO
Yes - not for cosmetics thought - and after they've reached a certain level of testing which shows confident results that the product would not be detrimental to the health of the animals.
@9FXZGWT1yr1Y
If there is no other method to ensure safety and the animals are treated as humanely as possible then I would believe it to be a necessary evil, Cosmetics are a definitive no, as well as any drugs not primarily to improve quality of life for people and/or animals.
@96KSTFXConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, if it’s beneficial for research purposes and if they’re doing early testing on animals that are considered pests
@96JJRBT2yrs2Y
Only if we need to, to minimize suffering.
No, use pedophiles, rapists, and murderers
@966M4ZD2yrs2Y
nah animal cruelty isnt nice
@95VGXQG2yrs2Y
Depending on the severity
@95PJ28K2yrs2Y
yes but not for cosmetics or drugs
@95FPSGB2yrs2Y
With proper ethical oversight
@946WVFP2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as they abide by the relevant moral and safety standards.
@9445DTK2yrs2Y
Yes, but there needs to be adherence to strict ethical guidelines regarding how the animals are treated.
It depends on the product - if it's harmful, then no.
@93X23322yrs2Y
Some animals are fine but there is also a certain threshold or line that should not be crossed ethically, which at that point should be substituted for other methods for testing.
@93WLR2V2yrs2Y
Yes, but aim to reduce animal testing as much as possible over time
@93WHRPR2yrs2Y
Yes, but certain categories of more intelligent beings should be off the charts
@93TM7X62yrs2Y
Only for vaccines and medications. Nothing more.
@93QZV7Z2yrs2Y
No, the animals do not deserve to tested on. We should find a different alternative that does not involve living beings that can not consent.
Use rapist and pedophiles
@93B6FPP2yrs2Y
Yes, but only rats, mice and pigeons/seagulls. Since In todays world they usually are over populated and carry disease otherwise
@92VCKC2Conservative3yrs3Y
if they have no other option and there's still many of that species
@92PZHT63yrs3Y
Yes, but in controlled amounts
@92MWQCF3yrs3Y
Only as little as possible; it may be bad for the animals and the results may only be appropriate for curing those kind of animals
Test on dangerous criminals already incarcerated.
@923VLB33yrs3Y
Yes, but only once adequate testing has already been completed and not for cosmetics
@8ZTMNF73yrs3Y
I am quite conflicted on this question. Definitely not for cosmetics
@8ZT5SNW3yrs3Y
Yes, but there should be more restrictions in place for animal testing
@8ZSJL5B3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for vaccines and medications. That is the law, under Section 3 of the Nuremberg Code.
@8ZNN2693yrs3Y
Yes but only on monkeys and rats, insects and amphibians
@8Z7DWC93yrs3Y
No, only for medications and vaccines.
@8Z4YJJ63yrs3Y
Yes, but only to a certain degree
@8YWC6RV3yrs3Y
Use humans. Pay them extremely well, or pay out their families well.
@8YNVGF33yrs3Y
@8Y5YY243yrs3Y
Yes, but the animals must be provided with a high standard of quality of life while within the testing trial
@8XZYC7Y3yrs3Y
Yes, but require the labelling for products that do such
@8XQGLKC3yrs3Y
No, but you can use tyrannical politicians like Justin Trudeau
@8XJ8R6V3yrs3Y
No, just use humans like the vaccines
@8XCDZYT3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for safety of medicines and vaccines.
@8X8B6QX3yrs3Y
Yes but not for cosmetics and not in a way that makes the animal suffer
@8X452LT3yrs3Y
NO! animals have feelings and feel pain, we don't have the right to violate them simply for ourselves
@8X2LCJJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if they are capitolist pigs
@8WMNMHR3yrs3Y
yes, but can hopefully find better solutions sooner than later
@8W9T83V3yrs3Y
As long as the animal isn't abused
only if its on certain animals like rodents
@8VVXL5J3yrs3Y
Only if absolutely necessary for the betterment of public health. Absolutely not for cosmetics or anything else deemed ethically unnecessary.
@8VTP6H33yrs3Y
no - use pedophiles and sex offenders for testing
@8VTGXS33yrs3Y
Yes, but only under the most humane of conditions and not for cosmetics
@8VRV6GZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but under stricter regulation.
@8VRSG7G3yrs3Y
It depends. Cruel and unusual testing should be banned
@8VRPDXS3yrs3Y
Yes, but only animals with high population and also not for cosmetics. I like the idea of using criminals for this..
@8VRD2783yrs3Y
Yes, but in a regulated standards and procedures.
Yes, but not great apes.
@8VQHZCN3yrs3Y
@8VP3JPZ3yrs3Y
Absolutely not - not for ANY circumstance - EVER!
@8VN7J383yrs3Y
@8VN3SPMConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as it is as painless as possible for the animals and serve a greater good for humanity .
@8VN22QD3yrs3Y
there’s enough animals locked up in prisons with three square meals and a warm place to sleep they don’t deserve use those criminals instead of innocent animals
@8VL9NFX3yrs3Y
Only for life-saving drugs or drugs that will greatly reduce suffering. And if a legal standard is put in place to protect the animals and retire them early into a rehab program.
@8VKKXXL3yrs3Y
No save the animals ... use liberlas instead
@8VK6TP9New Democratic3yrs3Y
As long as no harm comes to the animal
@8VK5J2Y3yrs3Y
If it doesn’t cause harm to the animal then yes. However if it’s a likelihood of it then no.
@8VK27KS3yrs3Y
Yes but with very high ethical standards enforcement and huge penalties for offences
@8VJX2SJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if the drug/vaccine/device is of a “life saving” category. Not for cosmetics or anything else that would not be considered necessary to save a human life.
@8VJ6J92Conservative3yrs3Y
The only animals that should ever be exposed to these things are mice and rats as they are extremely numerous and an overall pest.
@8VJ3D9D3yrs3Y
Yes, only if the risk to harm the animal is low.
@8VJ2V7V3yrs3Y
Human testing on prisoners and dangerous criminals and/or volunteers
Yes but it should depend on the animal and the product.
@8VHL7353yrs3Y
If other methods are available no. For cosmetics no!
@8VFD2CZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only animals that there are too much of, like rats
Yes if deemed absolutely necessary.
