Question

Some would say that companies who test their products on animals lose a great competitive advantage in the market.  Do you agree or disagree?

Answer 1

I disagree with the statement. It is true that animal testing is banned in several countries to avoid causing harm to the animals. But there are many advantages of animal testing that benefit humans. It helps to ensure that the products do not harm the humans by analyzing the product reactions in the animals. Customers always want to use product that do not cause harm to them. Though some people object animal testing, everyone are concerned about own safety and animal tested products give them the confidence to use the product without fear. Even if the companies do not use any harmful components or use them in a very limited quantity, there can be certain reactions that are not known until we use the product. Such complications are avoided by testing the products on animals. Hence in my opinion, companies who test their products on animals gain a great competitive advantage in the market.
