Do the companies L’Oreal, Lancome, Garnier, Maybelline, Sephora, and Neutrogena sound familiar? All of these companies take part in animal testing. Every year 19.5 million animals die in testing every year, and these companies are involved. Products produced by these companies are some that one may use every day. Hopefully whoever uses their products feels guilty for putting those animals in all that pain and torture just to look pretty. Certainly, this is not a liable excuse.

The diseases do not affect their bodies the same way. For example, a cure for cancer in mice was found. Scientist thought it would work on humans, but it did not.
