Animal testing has been used in the cosmetic companies for over years. Would you still buy its projects if you were to reach for puppies, bunnies or other animals off the shelves? Cruelty free products and advertisements have been popping up all over society, showing images of what cosmetic companies do to the animals when being tested or even the after effects of what the animals look like. The advertisement that will be analyzed is from the society for the protection of animals. The image shows a beautiful woman, face full of makeup, holding a small brown and black puppy as she is pushing down on the puppy’s head, out of the puppy’s mouth is liquid in a spray formation. There’s a message on the right hand side that says “Help us fight the effects of cosmetic testing”.
This advertisement uses the two rhetorical appeals, ethos and pathos when delivering its message. The image was created to spark conversation and movement from its audience who are cosmetic companies and people buying their products. With the cosmetic companies as the audience it may decrease their sales and prompt them to take an alternate route to cosmetic testing. With the buyers as audience it may change their minds when purchasing cosmetic products as to look for cruelty free products and to make a movement to stand up for animal rights.

Animal testing should not be used in cosmetic industries as a source of experimentation because it is unethical and inefficient. It is a cruel way of trying to find results that are not even always trustworthy. Everyone has a different reaction to different chemicals so why even bother animals for testing? Also different species can respond differently when exposed to the same chemical so animal testing can be inefficient. The results from animal tests can be quite variable and difficult to interpret therefore it may not be applicable to human beings. Thus, consumer safety still cannot be guaranteed even after these gruesome tests which are totally unethical. It is also unethical to torture and end the lives of these animals each year for our own luxury. Everyday cosmetic industries are using defenseless animals very cruelly just to carry out some most often useless tests. Instead they should use other alternatives which has been proved to yield better and accurate results than tests involving animals.
When using your cosmetic products on a daily basis, do you think of all the animals harmed and killed in the making? Cosmetics include products used by us every day, such as toothpaste, makeup, shampoo, soap, deodorant, etc. In the 1930s, the United States Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act compelled cosmetic companies to start testing the safety of their products on animals, beginning a long journey of violating animal rights. Since then, laws have changed, allowing companies to use alternatives that do not involve animals to test the safety of their products. Even though companies are not mandated to test on animals anymore, some still choose to do so for various reasons. Therefore, animal testing in the cosmetic industry is immoral because it is not mandatory and violates animals rights, and it has to end.
Cruelty-free cosmetic brands are an advancement that will better the safety of animals and people. To exemplify, the Sydney Morning Herald states that, “It’s very difficult to work out the health hazards of synthetic hair dyes, sunscreens and preservatives using animal tests” (Page 1). Products used on animals will get different outcomes compared to humans. A product that is made for a human needs to be tested on a human to get accurate results. Testing products on an animal can have certain chemicals that humans can withstand while it can harm the animal. People do not go around using animal products on themselves because of the reactions they can get from them. Additionally, in the text, 3D-printing human skin: The end of animal testing, “bioprinted tissues could also make product testing cheaper and more accurate, cutting down the need for tests on animals” (Mendoza 1). Cosmetic lines are taking the initiative to produce products with no intentions of testing on animals. With the worry people have with side effects of products on human trials; scientists want to see where the options of technology can
The photo above shows a picture of a beagle puppy who appears to be dead with red cosmetics surrounding her body intending to mimic a pool of blood. The red pencils and jars stand out against the grey background which provoke a feeling of depression or emptiness, while red captures the audience's attention with the shock factor. The expression on the dog's face show that it's unlikely to have endured a peaceful death. This advertisement creates a strong sense of malacology. No living creature should have to suffer for the sake of beauty, so I'm going to explain the cruelty of animal testing and why we shouldn't purchase from companies that participate in this practice.
Ashley raced through the aisles to find the perfect lip color to match her brand new, soft pink dress. She scavenged down each and every aisle looking closely for the crowning color. As she tore every lipstick off the shelf, a soft pink color all the way in the back, caught her eye. She quickly snatched it before anyone could get to it. Ashley stroked the beautiful packaging thinking about how perfect the light pink color would match her pale skin, her jet black hair and her pink dress. As she obsessed over the color, she noticed the label. Out of curiosity, she simply read what it had to say. This product is tested on animals, read. Ashley quickly put it back on the shelf. She didn’t want anything to do with that lip color. By buying this lipstick, she felt that she would be betraying her dog. She knew that animal testing killed thousands of dogs each year. She knew that animal testing killed millions of animals each year. She knew that she had no desire to support this cruel act. Like Ashley, many people protest against animal testing. Animal testing is inaccurate, there are many alternatives, and it is just cruel. This is why animal testing should not be permitted in the United States.
For hundreds of years, animals have been used to trial cosmetic products before released to the public. The majority of these companies strive to conceal the idea of harming animals for their products, to avoid harm to their reputation or profit. Animals are forced to inhale substances, have chemicals forced into eyes, and are stored in containers with several other diseased animals. These cruel actions cause a large percentage of the population to campaign against these companies. Protests, boycotts and social media awareness are all methods used by activists to promote their cause and to strive for a greater future for animals. These animal liberators induce the government to create laws to prevent harm to animals through cosmetic testing.
Introduction, animals that are being tested safety of their products that’s been a subject of an intense debate for over 10 years. While, a lot of people that alleged animals, the remained animals are being subjugated by the research cosmetics companies all over the country/all over the world. Even though, the scientists frequently profit from animal research, I don’t think all the suffering, the pain, and the animals dying are worth just trying find out the human benefits from the products.
In order to reach a larger audience, the new campaign will focus not only on females aged 18-24, but also on young males who might be interested in cruelty-free products. This extra male audience is an important addition to the campaign due to the fact that this segment has not been explored before and has the potential to add a new dimension in the fight against animal cruelty. The campaign will also be introduced
Imagine being born, only to live a life of torture. You are brought to a lab, and cruelly tested on against your will. Toxins poured into your eyes, painful injections to your skin, then left to die when you’re no longer useful. Although many do not realize it, people use products tested on animals in their everyday lives. For girls, many of your favorite makeup brands, such as Estee Lauder, Makeup Forever, and Maybelline take part in animal testing. Products such as toothpaste, cologne, deodorant, laundry detergent, razors, and even band-aids aren’t tested innocently, either. As a makeup enthusiast, I am passionate about how the products I use daily are tested. Today I will help you understand what animal testing is and how it started, how it’s currently affecting animals around the world, and what organizations are doing to help make a difference in the future. To begin, I will explain the history of animal testing. An animal test is any scientific experiment or test in which a live animal is forced to undergo something that is likely to cause them pain, suffering, distress, or lasting harm.(https://www.crueltyfreeinternational.org/why-we-do-it/what-animal-testing) Animal experiments are not the same as taking your animal to the vet. Animals used in laboratories are harmed, not for their own good, and usually killed at the end of an experiment. Animal experiments include injecting or force feeding animals with potentially harmful substances, exposing animals to radiation,
Do you have an animal at home? If yes, what would you do if it were harmed in any way? A common answer to this question is, “ I would do anything in my power to protect my pet.” So, if thousands of Americans with pets would stand by them in any situation, why do people still continue to buy commercial products that are tested on animals? Commercial products are usually classified as skincare, hair care, and makeup. This is not to say that only women have to worry about their products being tested on, because men’s products are also tested on. A common reason for companies testing on animals is the price; it is much cheaper to test on animals than it is to get human volunteers to try out the products before they are put on shelves. In addition to this, animals are treated very poorly during the animal
Each year, thousands of animals are brutally tortured in laboratories, in the name of cosmetic research. A movement to ban animal testing for cosmetic purposes has been gaining popularity, with many companies hopping on the bandwagon against this research. New alternatives have been developed to eliminate the necessity to test on animals. This is only a small beginning of what is necessary to end these immoral acts. Animal testing in cosmetics is useless and cruel, and can be accomplished by other methods of research to end the suffering of animals.
Everyday cosmetic products that many people use, such as lipsticks, shampoo, face wash, etcetera, are verified to be safe using animal testing. Chemical burns and other short term ailments are very serious concerns that plague Americans and the knowledge that the products they use will not harm them and their families is possible because of animal testing. Also long term effects, such as cancer, have been discovered through animal product testing and promptly stopped saving countless lives. “NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS YOU’RE THE GUINEA PIG” (Source C). Living day to day with the risk that the products trusted to use on your children and yourself is enough to validate
Animal testing has long played a part in the science of testing, and it still plays a very important role in the medical world. Testing on animals in order to create a cure for AIDS is one thing, but testing on animals for human vanity is another. Animal testing is used to test the safety of a product. It has kept some very unsafe substances out of the cosmetic world. However, in this day in age, animal testing is not the only way to test the safety of a product. Animal testing in cosmetics has decreased over the years. However, it is still used by many companies in America. Animal testing is not only cruel, but it is also unnecessary in today’s advanced scientific world.
The aim of this proposal is to draw attention to cosmetic brands that test or do not test on animals. The right to experience on animal or to sell animal testing cosmetics is forbidden in Europe since 2013. In China it is mandatory that they experience on animals before selling on the Chinese market for the safety of the products.
