Ethics of non-Killing ! ! !

Many people using those things [cosmetics etc.] may be not aware of
how is it tested. So, they fell the comfort using those. But when they would be made known of these things , most of them[ as girls are mostly sensitive ] will not be able to fell that comfort . So, awareness should be increased, what's ur opinion? ? ?

I think PETA does a pretty good job of doing that i.e. throwing red paint at models who wear fur.

A different point of view. Awareness can be increased by some methods. But I don't think this will reduce the usage of cosmetics.
On the other hand, what about drug testing? If scientists do not test drugs on animals think of what could happen. A person would get the drug and maybe die. Then what should those scientists say "we are against animal testing thats why we KILLED that guy" ?
Does this seem correct to you?
Not only for drugs but also for cosmetics. If they were not tested many people could have allergies or futher problems.
So should we harm people for animal's good?

PETA is that way good , awareness will reduce the usage to atleast some extent, I think.

why don't U think that ? ? ?

AND testing important and its essential. But, using nail polish or lipstick isn't essential from that pt. of view. So, if we want to use those cosm.s we have to test, we are not against testing , we should be against using those cosm.s- I think.

Poison wrote that-Not only for drugs but also for cosmetics. If they were not tested many people could have allergies or futher problems.

Allergies ? ? ? Allergies are genetic and different for person to person [ probability of common allergies is very less , as per I kow ] how can you tell by testing on few
animals if it will cause allergies or not ? ? ?

Of course you cannot say something accurately, by testing. But at least you can say it might be safe.
And why do people need to give up using cosmetics?

[2810712]

My opinion is we should hurt others only if it is obligatory, but use of cosmetics is not obligatory , so i personally have pains when people don't worry about others.
Allergies, U confirm, drugs , i think, cannot be tested for safety from allergies .

So, should people give up using cosmetics?

[mith]

If we test and use cosmetics, PETA will burn our houses. If we don't test and use, we risk getting crazy puffy reactions.

Safest way is to not use.

[Poison]

I'm not sure that I can give up...

I've a remedy- see in ancient times, people [like Kleopatra, if u're aware] used many cosmetics without testing, it was probably not harmful, using, traditional natural cosmetics is effective and time tested, so it won't require testing in labs , you can thus use them, for me , in my country ancient life science- ayurveda , has given me many way to improve my looks, i've mentioned one of them in post of pimples, it works, and is even , in my experience , more effective and side-effectless than modern tested cosmetics.

Yes thats right, we can use them. But how can we get them?

[mith]

The problem is "all natural" doesn't necessarily mean safe. I'll give you root beer as an example. The original ingredients called for sassafras roots which were later found to be cancer-causing.... It's natural but dangerous.
