II. Reading Comprehension


Read the text ‘Testing on Animals and answer the questions below.

The government in the U.K. will allow cosmetics to be tested on animals for the first time in
25 years. It banned testing in 1998. It was still allowed on animals if there were great
benefits for humans. This meant scientists could test chemicals on animals to develop new
medicines. However, a court in London said animal testing for cosmetics could start again.
The judges in the court followed European Union laws on the safer use of chemicals in
animal testing. One chemical that can now be tested on animals is already widely used. It is
in sunscreen, foundation and skincare products. The U.K. government said it was
"committed to the protection of animals in science".

Many people are angry with the government's decision. Surprisingly, many cosmetics
companies are unhappy. A group called Cruelty Free International, which is made up of
over 80 cosmetics brands, wrote a letter to the U.K. government. It said changing the law
was a terrible decision. A spokesperson for the Body Shop said: "Allowing animal testing for
cosmetics would be a devastating blow to the millions of people who have supported
campaigns to end this appalling practice." A scientist at Unilever, one of the world's largest
cosmetic companies, said testing was "unnecessary". She said that with today's
technology, testing could be carried out without using animals.
