Having kept chinchillas, rats, degus and house rabbits then I too am not happy about this animal testing and we need an alternative.
However there is a fine line about what could / should / should not be done.
Clearly skin care products, food, toothpaste, shampoos etc. have to be proven to be safe. Something which benefits us all.
In the dark ages (it is reported) that humans used their young to test if something was bad or deadly (let's not go there).
On the other side if we accept that say engine oil is toxic and not to be tested on humans/animals then we have another issues arising.
1) You won't be able to buy 3-in-one, WD40, etc. because they will become restricted products for "certified professional" use only
2) Your own car maintenance, and many many other hobbies that use non "human health care products" will also be banned
3) THIS IS THE WORST. With no testing of many products then any manufacturer could produce DEADLY products. We had this with asbestos (for example and we are now much wiser).
Note! I'm not defending the use animals in testing.
I could say if you want to use lipstick / glamour / beauty products then before you can use product A you must have submitted yourself to extensive testing of product A, have survived and then with your "I'm a survivor certificate" then be able to purchase and use the product BUT will not be allowed to come into close contact or kiss etc. another person.
Of course you then have many species who are immune to many of nature's toxic stuff that humans aren't. It is just a sad fact that rats and mice are so close to human responses to "bad/toxic stuff" that they are chosen as opposed to human babies and children.
For anyone who can solve this whole problem without any animal or human testing then you will be a multi-billion-billionaire.
The only alternative for those really struggling with this problem/situation is to sell up all your modern assets and buy a 1000 acres of land in Alaska. Build a log cabin and live off the land. No generator, phone, TV, car, etc. etc. Harvest natural vegetables, fungi, stalk and trap you own meat, etc. etc.
