Botox is on the
public's radar again due to the Netflix smash hit, Selling
Sunset. This Los Angeles-based reality show features
endless celebrities and millionaires buying expensive houses,
all while showing off and gushing about how much they love
botox. But this beauty practice is uglier than it seems.
In the European Union (EU) alone, 400,000 animals are
purposefully murdered every year, all in the name of botox
testing. And they are killed in some of the most
horrific ways imaginable. These hundreds of thousands of
animals die slowly of paralysis while their little
hearts are racing with terror. In the end, they suffocate to
death while still being completely conscious and
aware.
The EU has banned animal testing
for cosmetic purposes, but therein lies the loophole. Because
botox is injected into and not applied on top of the
skin, it does not fall under the law. As a
result, an astonishing number of animals are tested on and
killed every year just for this one single drug. But botox is
overwhelmingly used as a beauty product to remove wrinkles,
and therefore it absolutely should fall under the cosmetics
category. Sign the petition to demand that the European
Union extend its ban on animal testing to include
botox!
Thank you for all that you do,

P.S. There's no
reason that animals should be murdered so that rich humans can
avoid wrinkles. Please sign the petition to demand the European
Union takes action. |
