Testarea de produse, sau testare comparativă, este o practică care se desfășoară în laboratoarele celor mai cunoscute companii din lume pentru a-și maximiza eficiența industrială a produselor.
Odată cu apariția producției de masă, producătorii au început să dezvolte produse de marcă care sunt testate pe animale în scopul de a-și vinde produsele sale în alte țări și pentru a-și spori profiturile. Testele implică adesea utilizarea animalelor vii, precum maimuțe, șoareci, șobolani, iepuri, porcușori de guineea si anumite specii de pești.
Mai jos găsiți o listă detaliată a unora dintre numeroasele companii care încă testează și efectuează studii pe animale în scopul dezvoltării produselor sale. Dacă cumpărați oricare dintre aceste produse, îi susțineți implicit în finanțarea acestei practici inumane.
