Hello citizens of Secville,

Welcome to The Flutter, Issue 8. This week we'll be discussing animal testing!

---

As we all know, animal testing is a heavily debated topic, with many arguing it is a necessary evil and others conversely arguing that it is a necessary evil. That ideology doesn't hold true of course for cosmetics, which are arguably not necessary for human health or preservation. When I was younger I'll admit that the issue didn't really bother me and I fell into the latter category; now that I'm slightly older, however, I can see why so many people find it entirely unethical. With that being said, I still don't actively search for products which are not tested on animals.

Luckily we are moving further away from animal testing and advances in technology allow us to mimic human cells and tissue, though this doesn't solve the issue in its entirety within all industries. Still, I'm hopeful that eventually we can move away from animal testing completely in the coming years.

What are your opinions on animal testing? Do you consider it a necessary evil, view it with indifference or do you find it morally unjustifiable?

Love,

Animal testing is def not a necessary evil as we have plenty of cosmetics that are cruelty free and vegan that work just as well, if not better, than ones that use animal testing. I think we're at a point where we can move post animal testing in cosmetics entirely.

Very true in the context of cosmetics. Now when it comes to drug testing, however, I'm not sure they'll be able to phase it out entirely any time soon unfortunately.

At first I was indifferent, but then I began to view it from the animals perspective. Testing on animals is unnecessary for luxury items like makeup.

I think for cosmetics it's really unnecessary, but for other things like medication/ other things in the medical field it should be possible. The important thing (imo) is that there should be strong regulations on animal testing so we can make it as ethical/ least harmful as possible.

Definitely unnecessary for cosmetics and skincare, considering the advances in technology. And eventually, in the medical field too, as long as R&D advances.

Unnecessary for cosmetics, we already have vegan cruelty-free options. For things like medicine, I feel like it's a necessary evil.

for cosmetics, yes it is cruel and not a necessary evil. it's the same as farming crocodiles for their skin, killing elephants for their trunks and sharks for their fin. in the end, they're killed only to fulfill humans' desire and fill those CEOs from big corporation's pocket. meanwhile, for animal testing in medical field, can say that i'm biased because we are using those animals to test medicine that'll be beneficial for our species. but, at the moment, we don't really have any other way. one day, they might develop a human clone specifically for drug testing and a new debate will sprung up, does a human clone is considered as human? does it have the same rights as human etc. the point is, i think that it is a necessary evil, at least for drug testing on animals. a sacrifice of one to save many

I am completely against it. For medicine development it is currently necessary, but as the science keeps evolving it will eventually become unnecessary. We already have methods that don't involve animal testing and now it's the matter of making them more wide spread by lowering the prices.

Just from my perspective, I think cosmetics aren't something we should be testing on animals, there are already alternatives for that. When I was in big need of money, I tested perfumes before just so they could see the effects. The worst that happened was one girl got a small rash on her arm cause she was allergic to a product they put in it, and they compensated her for it. Personally, I think that cosmetic testing should be something they test on people who are willing since they already have that as an option. As for medical treatments, that isn't something we can just put aside, so that's understandable.
