It doesn’t take a genius to know that using animals for cruel and unnecessary cosmetics tests is unjustifiable.
Urgent appeal
Our latest investigation has found evidence of every dog lover’s worst nightmare. Lost, stray and abandoned dogs who’ve ended up in government-run shelters in Brazil are being handed over to universities for use in experiments. Many are also being supplied to veterinary schools for student teaching classes. And it isn’t just happening in Brazil.
Arguments against animal testing
Animal experiments are cruel, unreliable, and even dangerous.
Together we can change the world for animals.

Look for the leaping bunny
Did you know that 80% of the world still allows animal testing for cosmetics? But it doesn’t have to be this way. Hundreds of cosmetics and cleaning brands are certified cruelty free under the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme.
It’s the only globally recognised guarantee that a brand has made a genuine commitment to ending animal testing for their products.
