Demand the Repeal of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act to Curb Animal Testing
Demand the Repeal of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act to Curb Animal Testing
The Issue
The Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act currently enforced by the U.S. government promotes animal testing—an unnecessary and inhumane practice. By requiring safety testing of products like cosmetics, household cleaning products, and food additives, the admittance is open for companies to test on animals. According to Humane Society International, around 100,000-200,000 animals suffer and die every year due to cosmetic testing alone. As a society, it is our responsibility to prevent such needless harm proactively. By repealing the Act, we can create provisions for modern, humane, and effective testing methods that do not involve animals, such as in vitro (test tube) testing, mathematical modeling, and micro-dosing in human volunteers. These alternatives protect our furry friends and are often more reliable as they simulate human biology more directly. Join us in urging the U.S. government to repeal the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act and restructure it in a way that avoid animal testing. Sign this petition and be a voice for the voiceless.
