We have continued to cling to animal testing even though it is clear that it is not working. The animals used are not identical to humans so the results are not accurate.
There are alternatives that we can use that will give better results. One Green Planet has compiled a list of ten testing methods that do not use animals.

These methods provide better results than animal tests. When they use human tissue  the results are for the way human tissue responds. 
There are too many differences between  animal test subjects and humans for the results to be as accurate as we want  or even as accurate as we think they are. 
If we transition to these new methods we can expect better and possibly faster results.  The animal facilities in labs can be converted to more lab space  and more tests can be done. The rest of us can feel better because no animals will be harmed in  producing results. Whether is is a new eye shadow color or a life saving medication we can feel better that no animals were harmed in the making of the product. 

Now all we need is the will to change to non animal testing methods.  The methods already exist and are waiting for us to use them.
