Petition Action

Continue the BAN on cosmetic testing on animals in the UK!

Petition Details

The UK government has allowed animal testing for makeup ingredients to resume despite a 25-year ban.

It changed a policy on animal testing to align with EU chemical rules, according to a High Court ruling.

We want to the government to rethink this decision. This is unethical and cruel.

Additional Information

This is extremely concerning and signals a huge backwards step in the hard-won rights for millions of animals abused in unimaginably cruel and often completely pointless experiments.
The government should rethink this decision. Why should animals suffer needlessly for human products that they do not wear or use?
It cruel, barbaric and has led to millions of animals suffering and caused thousands if not millions of animals to die.
