PRIZES Ally Alm I think the simple , easy and best way to discourage people from using animal tested products is to show them the graphics and short video of what it is . For a normal person , one or two times is enough to understand how disgusting it is to let animals go through torture !
Faaiz Abro Awareness . Show an image of the animals that are suffering from products being tested on them , along with statistics and a list of alternative products .
Noura Tabsh I would make a cartoon picture of animal characters making products and having them tested on a human being locked in a box ! Sarcastic but sends the message !!
Social media is a strong platform , through which a large number of people can easily be reached . Putting up information and pictures on the condition of these animals and their fate , can send a strong message out to people . If I see something graphic of an animal ’ s suffering , there is no way I would feel like buying a product associated with it . We could also start a group of people pledging support and helping to spread the word . Also information could be given out on products available that don ’ t use animal testing , this way people who use their regular products which are tested on animals will know that there are other options available out there .

I think the best way to discourage people from using animal tested products is to describe and show them the state of the animals after they have been tested and experimented upon and how these animals suffer due to the testing being done on them . Ask the same people how they would feel if they were in the animal ’ s places and if they were used for such testing . It would open their eyes to the cruelty being heaped on these poor animals and the suffering and pain that they go through . Offer to provide people information on alternative natural products that are cruelty free like Lush Cosmetics and that deliver the same or
Eman Qadeer Create awareness by signing petitions and posting on social media platforms . Also boycotting products that are heavily animal tested . Show people that animal testing leads to animal cruelty .
Shilpa Jain The best way to discourage people from using animal tested products is to educate them on the effects of these tests on the poor animals , which sometimes even causes the death of the animals . Boycott the products . Campaigning also helps . Involve children as they will educate others in the future .

Rabia Khan We need to show people the cruelty that these animals go through while testing products . Also showing the side-affects of testing on animals and organizing programs that educate people and tell them that in the future we may not be able see these animals which we are testing on because they may get endangered and extinct over time . Boycotting these products , Raiding places that test on animals giving them huge amount of fine and taking strict action so that others who plan on doing so on these innocent creatures know the consequences .
Schools should run a program to create awareness among children on what to use and what to not use , what will encourage the outlaws to keep hurting these gullible things and what will give justice to these harmless animals . Mass media can be attracted by the usage of Internet and many supporters can join the fight to stop this injustice .
even better results than other products . In this way we can expose them to the cruelty that animals are put through and make them feel for the plight of these poor animals , at the same time offering them alternative products which are animal tested free . Eric Lobo Tourist Club Area , Abu Dhabi
