Testing
cosmetics products on animals may be outdated, ineffective,
and cruel, but that hasn't slowed down the industry at all in
the United States. On a daily basis, rabbits, guinea
pigs, and other sweet, tiny creatures are shaved so that their
skin can easily be subjected to burning chemicals
They are fed cosmetics ingredients until they are
sick or dead. Sometimes they even force the
animals to become sick, breed, and then give birth to even
sicker, mutated, or dead babies. If an animal
survives all this, they have served their cruel purpose and
they are killed — a snapped neck or suffocation are popular
choices among cruel handlers. Is our lipstick worth all this pain and
suffering?
Maybe the saddest part of all is
that animal testing for cosmetics is not always
necessary or scientifically valid — there are cheaper, more
humane, and more effective ways to make our products safe for
us to use. That's partly why the Humane Cosmetics Act
was introduced late in 2019, aiming to make testing on animals
for cosmetic products illegal in the entire supply chain for
any product sold in the U.S. It would be a huge win for
animals and the humans who love them, too. But it didn't
go anywhere! That's why public pressure is needed to show
Congress that people all over the world care about this
important issue. Will you sign on to support the U.S. in
banning animal testing for cosmetics
completely?
Thank you,

bit of blush is not worth the torture and murder of countless
animals. Please sign the petition today to end the
cruelty. |
