| Message | We agree wholeheartedly with the SDLP on this matter. Animals for testing cosmetics is cruel and unnecessary. |
| Date | 13:21:38, August 03, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Movement | To | Debating the Cosmetic Research Act 2089 |
| Message | We will also lend our full support to this Bill. I remember our three parties uniting against the Bill to allow regulated cosmetics testing and losing narrowly; so now we have a real chance to get rid of this cruelty and barbarism. |

| Message | I know I appear evil by opposing this, but l feel it is a neccessary evil. To make sure cosmetics are safe enough for human use, they need to be tested first. And unfortunately, animals are the only option. Unless we ban cosmetics all together, to prevent animal suffering and human suffering due to untested cosmetics. |

| Message | Why should an animal be killed for the sake of a stick of lipstick? Please answer me that. Organic substances would also greatly reduce the risk as well. What about testing on human tissue cultures? It's cruel, and not necessary in the slightest. |

| Message | In response to the LPU, as I pointed out in the previous debate it is in the interests of cosmetics companies to ensure that their products are safe for human use. I hate to use real life examples, but many companies (especially in the UK) now display clearly that their products are not tested on animals and remain succesful despite (because of?) this. Banning animal testing does not mean cosmetics will be unsafe for human consumption nor that company profits will be affected. |

| Message | On the one hand - yes people need their cosmetics tested. But in this day and age, there are means of testing them on humans; and what with microbiology and all, on unicellular and 'crude' organisms. We oppose animal cruelty. We agree with this bill. |
