Is Lush against animal testing?
Lush do not test on animals, do not use materials that contain animal derivatives that are unsuitable for vegetarians and only buy raw materials from companies that are not involved in the use of, or commission the use of, animals for testing and have no plans to do so in the future.
Can we do science without animal testing?
Non-invasive imaging techniques such as MRI, CT scans, and DTI (diffusion tensor imaging) are all ways we can study science without using animal models. Epidemiological studies, clinical trials, microdose tests. The list goes on and on about the new ways of testing that are being used as technology advances.
Can you donate to stop animal testing?
PETA. PETA’s page about fighting against regulatory testing on animals is filled with information about animal testing and the resources they are using to fight it. It highlights their accomplishments including donating more than one million dollars to find non-animal testing methods.
What methods are used in animal testing?
Examples of animal tests include forcing mice and rats to inhale toxic fumes, force-feeding dogs pesticides, and applying corrosive chemicals into rabbits’ sensitive eyes. Even if a product harms animals, it can still be marketed to consumers.
