they test it on the animal and see if there is any side effect or whatever reactions to the make up.

That's why it's so bad.
To me no, it's NOT better if it's tested on animals. The animals basically DIE and are TORTURED so we can look good. Watch that video, and if you don't get it after that, I don't know that you ever will.

It can harm them, and often dogs or cats (even rats and mice) are left blind and sometimes have wounds that do not heal. Once the ASPCA and SPCA got word of this many of the make-up products were boycotted by the public and now most people will look on the labels to be sure it says "not tested on animals."
Actually, at worst, this is what happens: The animals are kept in hugely cramped quarters, often about three rabbits in a half foot by one foot cage, living in piles of their own excrement. These animals, (the most commonly used testing animals are rabbits and small rodents, not, I don't believe, ever dogs), are then partly shaved, and have chemicals rubbed on their skin, chemicals often burn, blister, or otherwise painfully skin irritations or open wounds. After this horrific torture, they are roughly transported and then usually killed. I know this is a lot to take in, and not all animal testers are quite this brutal, but I feel this is something everyone should know about when buying make up, shampoo, or really any other such substance including deodorant or talc powder. Not all companies use this abominable practice. To tell them apart, read the back of what ever substance your buying. There is a symbol that means it is not animal tested, or it will say that it is not animal tested. If it does not say, it most likely is tested on animals.

Animal testing can be incredibly stressful and distressing for the animals involved. Yes, it does mean that human beings have cosmetics that don't damage them in any way but many people believe that it is cruel and inhumane to force animals to go through that pain. Animals can't speak for themselves, they have no choice but to be subjected to these tests. No, they're not human - but they're still living creatures.
