Canada
just protected animals from painful, horrific,
unnecessary torture by banning cosmetic testing
on animals! On June 22, 2023, the Canadian
legislature passed Bill C-47, a law that bans all
cosmetic animal testing in the country, as well as the
sale of any cosmetics that were tested on
animals.
In
doing so, Canada became the 44th country in the world to
pass laws that ban or limit cosmetic animal testing or
sales.
Meanwhile, the
United States and Japan are two of the top countries in
the world that are most reliant on animal testing for
cosmetics.
Cosmetic
animal testing involves selfishly subjecting
innocent animals like rabbits, dogs, mice, and monkeys
to painful experiments, just to develop new
beauty products for humans.
Researchers
force these helpless beings to endure distressing
procedures like eye and skin irritation
tests, lethal dose testing, and force-feeding.
An estimated 500,000 animals suffer from
cosmetics tests every year, with many of them dying from
toxic exposure or pain and shock.
But
animal testing for cosmetics isn't even
necessary! In fact, many alternative methods
exist that are more accurate and reliable.
Now it's time for the
governments of the United States and Japan to join the
right side of history. Sign the petition to save the
animals!
