Law Bans Cosmetics Tests on Animals - Almost | Features | PETA.org.uk - 0 views

animals ban cosmetics

shared by golan elzur on 01 Dec 10 - No Cached
  • The Bad Points The Cosmetics Directive has loopholes and exceptions which mean that some animal testing can still be performed, and ingredients which are tested on animals can still make their way into products on store shelves in the UK. These loopholes include the following: Certain kinds of animal tests will still be allowed until 2013. Animal tests could still be used for ingredients to ensure that they meet other requirements, such as the requirements of other laws (for example, to determine if the ingredients could cause damage to the environment) or laws abroad.
  • The Good Points The ban means that fewer cosmetics tests using animals will be performed in Europe and that non-EU companies hoping to export their products to Europe will have to change their ways too. What's really exciting about the ban is that its deadline has helped advance the development of humane testing methods, such as the cruelty-free skin-irritation test which PETA helped fund. These humane tests can also be used for some drugs and other chemicals – so everyone's a winner. In addition, the ban is an important step forward because it makes the point that animals shouldn't be used for trivial purposes.
