Tell the Canadian Government to Ban Cosmetic Animal Testing

Cosmetic animal testing should be banned in Canada as other nations like India, Israel and the European Union have already done so with success. Animal testing is a cruel and barbaric method to obtain data for an entirely different and complex species - humans. Animals are tortured and killed in these archaic and outdated practices. There are many alternatives to animal testing and the benefits of a non-animal testing route is actually faster and more accurate at predicting human reactions to a cosmetic product, than its animal testing counterpart. Other benefits include, increased reliability, cost-effectiveness, practicality, and expediency. It only makes sense to ban cosmetic animal testing in Canada because it would benefit both researchers and animals.
