Testes em animais na indústria dos cosméticos: uma análise acerca das questões penais relacionadas a essa prática

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the space occupied by animals in the Brazilian legal system and the legislator's concern with their well-being. Therefore, an analysis of animal tests in the cosmetics industry will be carried out from a criminal perspective, analyzing whether this practice follows the legal limits established in the national and international territory. Once possible illegality has been demonstrated, measures capable of solving this problem will be pointed out, notably alternative methods. The approach method used in this work is the dialectical method. In turn, with regard to the procedural methods, the historical and comparative methods were used.
