Sign now to #end #cosmetics #animal #testing in all 50 #states

46 U.S. states still allow animal testing for cosmetics. Sign the petition to support a nationwide ban. Sign Now Luc, In the midst of a global pandemic, many of us are understandably feeling scared, uneasy about the future, and uncertain about what we can do to keep helping others, including vulnerable animals. Activists across the U.S. are still fighting for those that are abused, neglected, and in danger. Will you join them? Every year, hundreds of thousands of animals are forced to endure cruel testing procedures by cosmetics companies. Yes, it's hard to believe, but even in this day and age, many cosmetics companies still test on animals prior to releasing products to the market. Alternative testing methods do exist, and both activists and scientists alike have tirelessly encouraged companies to switch to using these instead. With 50 approved types of non-animal testing methods, there really is no reason not to do so. Animals are rubbed with painful chemicals to check if they will irritate the skin. They are also forced to ingest large quantities of toxins to determine what constitutes a "lethal dose." And when these sad, sick, exploited animals are no longer needed, they are killed. Thankfully, four U.S. states — California, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia — have banned animal testing for cosmetics, sending a strong message to cosmetic manufacturers that animal testing is not okay. Unfortunately, though, animals can still be used for testing in the rest of the country. Sign the petition to demand that every state pass anti-animal testing legislation! Thank you for all that you do,   Miranda B. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The needless suffering of helpless, tortured animals must end. Sign the petition to demand an end to animal abuse for cosmetics testing.
