Voting deadline: December 2195
Description[?]:
| Animal Testing is a safe way to test out new pharmaceuticals without having about testing them on humans. By passing this resolution, we could ensure that only safe cosmetics and drugs are being used in our society. It would limit the amount of dangerous drugs that are approved. The safety of our citizens is more important then the welfare of animals. However, we are also very much against abuse and cruelty to animals. We don’t believe animals should be subject to tests that will surly result in their death, only to test things that are already perceived to be safe. There would be strict regulations on animal testing. |

| Message | Well, my opinion states that animals don't want make-up so why use them as test subjects? On a more objective note, it makes sense to test on humans since they use the final product. I worry that we declare a product animal proven safe, only to discover it causes some ailment when applied to humans. |
