California Just Officially Banned The Sale Of Animal-Tested Cosmetics!!!!!!!
Yeah California. Law Leaders
The new law is the first of its kind in the United States.
This is HUGE. It is something I have been working toward all my life and the day has finally arrived. Not only will animal testing be banned but the companies that take their tests to China will have their products banned as well.
There are blessings and good will to go around for all God's creatures great and small. This is the best Xmas gift I have ever had.
Please give to PETA this Holiday Season.
California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed a landmark bill into law on Friday aimed at banning the sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals.
The California Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Act, authored by Democratic state Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, prohibits manufacturers to “import for profit, sell, or offer for sale” any cosmetic product that was developed or made using an animal test, if the test occurs after the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2020. That means products developed using animal testing may still be sold, as long as the testing does not continue after that date. Violations are punishable by a $5,000 fine, plus an additional $1,000 for each day the violation continues.
Animal tests used in the cosmetic industry include painful skin and eye irritancy experiments, as well as toxicity evaluations that involve exposing animals to deadly substances, sometimes by force-feeding or inhalation. The most commonly used animals are mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs. The vast majority are killed when testing is complete.
