I pledge to call for cruelty-free and commit to supporting policies to:
- Strengthen the ban – Strengthen the cosmetics testing ban by putting the full 1998 ban on animal testing for cosmetics ingredients into law, so that no government can reverse it in secret.
- Make our homes safer – Modernise the testing of chemicals linked to products we use every day. Form a system for making sure those chemicals are safe is based on rules NOT animal suffering.
- Deliver a government-led plan to target zero tests on animals – with a Minister dedicated to delivery across government
SUPPORT A CRUELTY-FREE UK
Many of the everyday items in your home have been tested on animals at some point on their way to our homes. These tests are aimed at understanding effects on human health and on the environment but are often unreliable and cause much suffering to the animals used. Fortunately, there are more and more non-animal test methods available that are often equally, or more effective, than tests on animals. Not enough is being done to make sure that cruelty-free techniques are available and used for testing associated with the products we use and consume every day.
We shouldn’t have to put up with having products linked to testing on animals in our homes – if we act together, we can create a cruelty-free future. We need new laws and policies to phase out testing on animals.
With the General Election now in full swing, it’s more important than ever that candidates across the country know we want to kick testing on animals out of our homes and our lives for good. Join us in pledging your support for policies that can make that future a reality.
