"" This rabbit was put in a harness in order to stop it from moving . Then a substance was dripped slowly into its eyes . The damage was measured over a period of several days . Why ? A new cosmetic is being tested .

Cosmetics manufacturers must make sure that their products are safe and won't cause eye or skin irritations . So , before a new cosmetics is sold , it is carefully tested , often on animals . In the skin irritancy test, the backs of rabbits or guinea pigs are shaved . The substance is then applied to the skin . Finally the damage to the skin is recorded.

The use of animals in research is not new and it has made important contributions to the development of science :
~ Psychologists have learnt a lot about human behaviour from the observation of rats and dogs in laboratory conditions .
~ Research with dolphins has taught us about different aspects of communication .
~ New medicines are tested on guinea pigs.

However , many people believe that animals shouldn't suffer for our vanity at the hands of the cosmetics industry . Cosmetics companies are being pressed by animal rights organisations to stop animal testing . Protesters are signing petitions ,organising demonstrations and buying only cosmetics that are not tested on animals .

The pressure is having an effect . Scientist are devloping a number of cruelty-free alternative tests . New eye irritancy tests are being done on a laboratory dish rather than on anyone's eyes , and they are more accurate than the old ones . If research continues , animal testing for cosmetics will be a thing of the past. ""
