When I read that news I was shocked too.
How possibly nobody tested with even animal blood?
Water and blood have different consistency and fluidity
Why kill animals? It's not like menstrual products don't work. just keep buying the stuff that works more than others if the little difference between the testing fluids and blood are really existent.
And it's not like the products would be better with blood testing. That's not how capitalism works. It needs to work good enough to be bought with the biggest profit margin possible. So using blood for testing just creates suffering for animals for no reason other than you can put "tested with animal blood" on the box. I wouldn't see that as a plus
Who said to kill animals just for this purpose? That would be irresponsible and incredibly asshole
The industry is already dumping too much animal blood as a waste, just take a small drop from something that otherwise goes in wastewater anyway
We need to stop using animals. Not extend it. I mean I really don't get what's so hard about testing if a product works on humans in the real scenario.
Because testing things in laboratories for healthcare requires stringent and rigorous controls. It's a lot easier to standardise animal blood than human blood, and as the comment above highlighted - animal blood is already a waste product, whereas human blood is highly valuable for directly saving lives.
Arguing for less animal usage is a nobler cause, but this is not the fight to pick for it.
