Every year, countless animals suffer and die in painful tests to assess the safety of cosmetics. Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice and rats are subjected to cruel tests that cause them distress and suffering. These animals are used in everything from irritation testing to lethal dose tests. The Humane Society International estimates that around 100,000-200,000 animals suffer and die just for cosmetics every year worldwide (source: Humane Society International).

Moreover, alternatives like in vitro (test tube) test methods and models based on human cell cultures as well as advanced computer-modeling techniques are available today which can replace animal testing completely.

It's time we stand up against this unnecessary cruelty. We urge cosmetic companies across the globe to stop using animals for testing their products. By signing this petition you will be taking a stand against animal cruelty and promoting the use of alternative methods for product safety assurance that do not involve harm to sentient beings.
