In 2009, the European Union pledged to ban the sale of all new animal-tested cosmetics by 2013. But cosmetic industry officials want the deadline delayed further, possibly another ten years. Tell the EU not to delay the 2013 ban by writing to your MP.
Currently, animal tests for cosmetics are banned in the EU except for three types, including the repeat dose toxicity test, in which rabbits or rats eat, inhale or are rubbed with a substance every 28 or 90 days. After every one of the animal tests conducted, the animals are killed. Help save these innocent animals. If the 2013 deadline is kept, the sale of ALL new animal-tested cosmetics will be eradicated from the EU -- hopefully starting a world-wide revolution in cosmetic testing. I can understand that some form of testing on animals may be needed for medical reasons but it is totally unacceptable and unethical to subject innocent animals to torture for cosmetic reasons!! Not right!
