Hey guys so this campaign really hits home for me, I'm a huge animal lover as I'm sure most of you are. Please support this campaign in order to stop the immense amount of torture these poor animals go through on a daily basis all in the name of beauty.
The Body Shop and Cruelty Free International are launching a global campaign called Forever Against Animal Testing which aims to ban animal testing worldwide!!
A little history behind The Body Shops fight against animal testing
1989
"The Body Shop started campaigning to end animal testing in cosmetics, the first global cosmetics company to do so"
-
1998
"Following our sustained campaign, the UK government banned animal testing of cosmetic products and ingredients."
-
2003
"Campaigning by The Body Shop and BUAV (British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, now Cruelty Free International) contributed to a European Union ban on animal testing in cosmetic products."
-
2009
"The European Union implements its ban on animal testing in cosmetic ingredients."
-
2013
"We celebrate history. The sale and import of animal tested products and ingredients is banned, completing the EU ban. Our campaign with Cruelty Free International collects 1 million signatures, influencing significant progress across the world as South Korea, New Zealand and India now have a variety of bans in place. Australia is set to follow with a ban promised by July 2017 as is Taiwan in 2019. Cruelty Free International have trained scientists in Vietnam and are now discussing with Thailand and other governments the possibility of a ban across ASEAN."
Here are the countries where animal testing is banned today.
This really is an indication on how we should all take a stand to stop animal testing.
"Animal testing remains a problem around the world, with over 80% of countries who still have no law against testing in cosmetic products & ingredients. Despite the fact that reliable alternatives are available"
"Cruelty Free International estimates that more than 500,000 animals are used worldwide in cosmetic testing each year"
.........
