I have a family member trying to produce some novel materials. To prove it is safe for human skin contact he is required by federal regulations to perform testing on beagles. Something on the order of 60,000 beagles are bred per year for animal testing. Most of the testing isn’t actually helpful or valuable. But it’s the only way to get through the regulatory approvals. It’s all super gross.
