t
needle poking in the w indow display of a store near central England. Her mouth w as clamped shut as another
protester ?performed the necessary procedures? on her. One could easily tell she w as in agonizing pain by w atching p
u
from the other side of the w indow .
c
The procedure lasted 10 hours in total, consisting of being given injections, having skin abraded, being smothered n
in lotions and perfumes and having a large strip of her hair shaven off in front of one of the busiest streets in England.w
Thousands of shoppers w atched the artist bleed, cry and scream. They w ere speechless
Somew here else in the w orld, these exact same procedures w ere being carried out on countless animals in research d
labs. At the end of Jacqueline?s protest display, she w as throw n out onto the street into the garbage area,
a
representing a state of having been euthanized but afterw ards she got up and w ent home. An animal subjected to
a
the same procedures w ould have died.

The act w as all part of a collaboration betw een Lush Cosmetics and Humane Society International to encourage
people to end animal testing for cosmetics. In an interview , the Oxford-Brookes University student Jacqueline said, "I w
hope it w ill plant the seed of a new aw areness in people to really start thinking about w hat they go out and buy and i
m
w hat goes into producing it.?
The performer remained mute throughout the w hole procedure. Lush campaign manager Tamsin Omond said,
?Although animal testing for cosmetics w as banned in the EU three years ago, it is still legal in Britain to sell products a

animal-tested in other parts of the w orld, including the USA and Canada. In China, such testing is a legal
w
requirement.?

should continue to profit from animal suffering, additionally claiming that there could be ?no justification for
t
subjecting animals to pain for the sake of producing lipstick and eye shadow ?.

Although there are alternatives to animal
testing, most computer simulated testing is
flaw ed and unreliable. The human body is
much too complex for our current
technology to simulate as for there are too
many functions and conditions w e must
factor in.

Animal research has also impacted animals that are
everyday pets of humans. Feline Leukemia is a long term
contagious viral infection that is spread through cats.
However, thanks to animal research, a vaccine for it is now
made. Also, organ transplant techniques for dogs are now
advanced through antirejection drugs. These are only some
of the many benefits these animals had through
researching and experimenting. These animals now can be
treated and be prevented of diseases and viruses because
of animal research.

FINALVERDICT
By M ich ael Li , Sajeev Koh li an d Kyu n gbin Son
We can all agree that experimenting on animals is not the most humane
way to advance our society's knowledge , but one can disagree that it is
necessary. Millions of people would be dead from diabetes, Hepatitis C,
HIV/AIDS, Epilepsy, and other diseases if not for animal testing, but how
many more rats and chimps were killed to develop these drugs? Families
were restored, because of some of these breakthroughs, but at the cost of
baby chimps torn from their mothers. Some may argue that it is for the good
of mankind and will save lives, but others will protest that it's a type of
murder and that we have no right to experiment on the animals. Whether
animal testing is good or bad, that is a matter of opinion. It is a question with
two viable answers, revolving around two perspectives, encompassing two
completely justifiable vantage points. Such is the nature of this issue, an
issue centered around two sides of a coin.
