This is a picture of an Animal Testing Facility.
The reason they use rabbits for animal testing is because they are the only animal who can not flush chemicals out of their eyes without using aids like water or their paws.
Next time you buy cosmetics or hair spray or anything in the beauty section - choose the brands that are NOT tested on animals.
Here’s a hint: Loreal are the worlds biggest cosmetic animal testers, and Garnier isa sub-company of Loreal.
If you have trouble finding out who tests on animals and who doesn’t, google is at your fingertips.
The look on the bunnies face second from the right is absolutely heartbreaking.
your beauty isn’t worth their pain.
I know that the bunnies look pitiful. They are pitiful. The thing, though, is that we might have difficulty establishing who exactly is and isn’t using animal testing for product research. Even the most “animal-friendly” companies who claim to not support animal testing will eventually use ingredients whose safety were tested on animals. That is a fact we cannot erase.
They will claim to “not test” on animals. They will put the picture of a cute little bunny on their products. They will have the support of organisations like PETA. But if these supposedly “animal-friendly” companies use research knowledge gained by companies that have been vilified for animal testing, they should NOT be given the opportunity to continue hiding behind their manipulative mantle of fake concern for animal welfare.
I’m probably rambling. Read this article from an expert for a more coherent take on the subject.
