Animal testing

Maggie Reyes

We call animal-tested any product (cosmetic, supplement, drug, or otherwise) that is used on animals to test the quality and efficacy of a product. This practice has been performed for years and has been considered one of the cruelest behaviors in the history of animal abuse.

 

China passed a law that anyone who marketing cosmetic product products within the country must pay the government’s laboratories to perform animal testing to ensure consumer safety. On the contrary, some countries like Norway, Israel, Turkey and the European Union have banned these practices on animals. South Korea, Argentina, Austria, United States and Canada have only considered certain restrictions of testing.

 

In Canada, we are currently fighting for the amendment of the law against animal abuse to include cosmetic testing on animals. This law was presented in December of 2015 by Senator Carolyn Stewart Olsen and supported by Humane Society International/Canada and the Animal Alliance of Canada. If this law passes, it will apply throughout Canada and we would join the cruelty free countries.

There are multiple alternatives to animal testing. Technology has permitted very versatile laboratory testing as well as the use of artificial tissue, which can validate consumer safety.
