JUST STOP IT POSTER

Worldwide it is estimated that the number of vertebrate animals—from zebrafish to non-human primates—ranges from the tens of millions to more than 100 million used annually Cosmetics testing on animals is particularly controversial. Such tests, which are still conducted in the U.S., involve general toxicity, eye and skin irritancy, phototoxicity (toxicity triggered by ultraviolet light) and mutagenicity. Cosmetics testing is banned in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK, and in 2002, after 13 years of discussion, the European Union (EU) agreed to phase in a near-total ban on the sale of animal-tested cosmetics throughout the EU from 2009, and to ban all cosmetics-related animal testing. France, which is home to the world's largest cosmetics company, L'Oreal, has protested the proposed ban by lodging a case at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, asking that the ban be quashed. The ban is also opposed by the European Federation for Cosmetics Ingredients, which represents 70 companies in Switzerland, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy Using animal testing in the development of cosmetics may involve testing either a finished product or the individual ingredients of a finished product on animals, often monkeys, dogs, cats, rabbits, but also mice and rats. In some cases, the products or ingredients are applied to the mucous membranes of the animal, including eyes, nose, and mouth, to determine whether they cause allergic or other reactions. If you Stop consuming those Brands that use Animal Testing as a research programs for new products, those companies will be forced to change their practices if they want us as consumers, saving hundred of millions of animals every year. It's up to us. It's in our hands It's time for Social Responsibility of our Corporations, and for us to Concisely Consume. Thank you Yago
