Without cosmetic testing, the lives of millions of animals will not have to be compromised or spared for the testing of cosmetic products. Animal testing is expensive as expenses for food, caging, maintenance of the animal, etc. need to be included. That money can be used elsewhere, possibly to invest in other alternatives. Without animals being the subject of cosmetic testing, industries will have to turn to alternative testing methods that have proven to be more effective in terms of successful results and also more cost-effective. Ultimately there will be a general increase in public morality and virtue as a result of the end of cosmetic testing on animals. Happiness will be maximized for both humans and animals, and humans will continue to fulfill their duty to respect the lives of all beings, including animals. Society will be better off without such acts of cruelty, and animals' lives will not be used merely as a means. Allowing cosmetic testing on animals ensures the safety of products for human use, however the results are not always positive. Some also argue that animals do not share the same rights as humans by law, so it is acceptable to continue animal testing. Based on the likely consequences of acting on this presumption, it is clear that acting on this presumption results in more benefit than harm and confirms that it is morally wrong to continue cosmetic testing on animals due to the lack of virtue and 'wrong behavior by using animals as a mere means for our superficiality
