End Animal Testing
Take Action to Prevent Cosmetic Testing on Animals
There are 2 important ways you can make a huge difference in the lives of animals subjected to torture from cosmetic testing.
Animals used in cosmetic testing spend their lives scared and in pain. They suffer in silence as substances are poured in their eyes, forced down their throats, and rubbed on their skin only to be killed and discarded when they are no longer useful. This process is not only cruel and inhumane, but also unnecessary. Cosmetic companies have thousands of ingredients that require no testing at their disposal. They can also use humane testing methods such as advanced computer models and human-cell based testing which are more reliable and less expensive. There is no need to continue torturing defenseless animals.
