I’m not sure if we are getting closer to a ban on animal testing in the US, but there are definitely efforts being made in this direction. Animal testing is a controversial topic, and while some people believe that it is necessary for scientific research and medical advancements, others believe that it is cruel and unnecessary.
There are many organizations and individuals working towards a ban on animal testing in the US. For example, the Humane Society of the United States is one of the largest animal protection organizations in the world, and they are actively advocating for a ban on animal testing. Additionally, there are many state-level laws that have been passed to restrict or ban animal testing, such as California‘s Proposition 12, which banned the sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals.
While there is still a long way to go before a complete ban on animal testing is achieved in the US, these efforts are a step in the right direction. As more people become aware of the cruelty of animal testing and the availability of alternative testing methods, it is likely that we will see more progress in this area in the coming years.
