Say NO to animal suffering. Say NO to cruel cosmetics in Europe.
On 11th March 2009, all animal testing of cosmetics in the EU stopped thanks largely to two decades of campaigning by the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments (ECEAE). But there is a catch. A ‘marketing’ ban that would also prevent the sale of new cruelly tested cosmetics in the EU is now in jeopardy.
Now some in the cosmetics industry want to delay the March 2013 deadline even longer. If they get their way it could mean 10 more years during which thousands of rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats could be injected, gassed or force-fed and killed worldwide for cosmetics products sold in the EU.
