Cons+1

__**Cons #1**__ Some people think that if animals are just used to test make up and cosmetics then it isn't really hurting them. It is still cruelty and the chemicals from the make up can affect them.

The European parliament passed legislature, which banned animal testing of cosmetics in the European Union and the imports of animal tested cosmetics by member countries (Elizabeth Bryant). Companies that don't follow this law are required to label their products "Tested On Animals" in large and easily read lettering.

Another example of the issue of animal testing is that the California National Primates Research Center has admitted to using over 4,700 monkeys for medical research and cosmetics testing for majoring make up companies. Even if you are just using cosmetics, if you test it on animals then it is cruelty and is largely decreasing the animal population today.
