4.) How can we stop putting the animals at risk, while still ensuring the products are safe?

Solutions:
Test our products on humans.
Limit the number of animals we test on.

Heart of Controversy:
Is animal testing the best and only way we can safely test products?]]> 2017-09-25 14:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/susana_paiz/r7wktd74pyo5/wish/190855666 Austin R. Geller https://padlet.com/susana_paiz/r7wktd74pyo5/wish/190855854 Controversy:
