product testing on animals

• cruel and not needed

• no ban on testing products on animals

• painful circumstances without any relief

• can lead to blindness, death, and scarring

• even though we test to make sure the product is safe for humans, that doesn’t make it right

• once the experiment is over the animal will most likely be killed. if the animal is not killed then it will be used for other experiments in the future years

• more than 90% of animal testing has failed

• the goal of the EPA is to get rid of animal testing by 2035

factory farming

factory farming - keeping animals and livestock close together in tight places for efficiency

• it is efficient because all of the goods that are produced by animals will be in one spot

• supported by the federal gov.

• it can also be good because it will keep the prices lower for humans and will keep the price low for the farmers
