Burning chemicals
dripped into rabbits' eyes. Unsafe agents rubbed onto
the bare, raw skin of
shaved guinea pigs. Poisonous products shoved down the
throats of terrified mice. These are the realities of
cosmetics animal testing which, until recently, was
strictly required for products sold on the Chinese
market.
But since 2014, restrictions on
cosmetics sales have been easing there. Now, if companies
sell "general" cosmetics (skincare, hair care, nail
care, makeup, and fragrances), they have the option to
opt out of animal testing!
Many companies quickly
took the chance to adopt more compassionate practices,
freeing defenseless animals from lives of captivity and
torture. But MAC Cosmetics has yet
to change its testing policies and
procedures.
Apparently a change in the law
isn't enough to convince MAC to show some mercy for
innocent animals, but our
collective voice might just be loud enough to make them
listen.
Add your name and voice
to the petition telling MAC Cosmetics: it is time to go
cruelty-free! End animal testing
now!
