It doesn’t take a genius to know that using animals for cruel and unnecessary cosmetics tests is unjustifiable.
Urgent appeal
Did you know that in the United States many dog pounds and shelters kill healthy dogs who haven’t been claimed or given new homes? Shockingly, some of these dogs’ bodies are supplied to commercial companies that then sell them on to colleges and universities for dissection classes, including for students in veterinary colleges here in the UK.

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.
