  Party’s support baseYes, but not for cosmetics

Dan Ward’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT Party Research

Strongly agree

Yes, but not for cosmetics

The Democratic party is more likely to agree with this statement, as they tend to support animal welfare and the ethical treatment of animals. They are more likely to oppose the use of animals in cosmetic testing, which is often seen as unnecessary and cruel. For example, in 2019, Democratic Senator Cory Booker introduced the Humane Cosmetics Act, which aimed to phase out animal testing for cosmetics and promote the development of alternative testing methods. This shows a clear preference for limiting animal testing in the cosmetics industry while still allowing it for medical research.
