不用動物測試的日用品與化妝品

 
作者:Renee Lemay

  每年有上千萬的動物,因為被抓去試驗口紅,洗髮精和清潔劑,而喪失了生命...

  人類和動物存在著久遠而複雜的關係,而這關係經常是互助且相互依存的,然而,每一天卻有許多動物被施以各種方式虐待,絕大多數的化妝品以及日用品,都曾在動物身上進行殘酷的實驗,包括將物質塗抹在被關了幾個禮拜,且除去了毛髮的動物身上的發炎試驗,或是將產品注射進兔子眼睛,而時常造成兔子瞎掉眼珠的排淚試驗。

  不過,還是有些產品包含天然的成分,是安全且並無使用動物試驗的。以下這些公司的負責人,都曾簽署聲明書,宣示他們並沒有將他們的產品,在動物身上做過測試,也沒有將產品交給別人進行動物試驗。一般而言,這些產品在天然健康食品店都有賣,這些產品包括化妝品,盥洗用品以及家庭日用品。

MILLIONS OF ANIMALS DIE EVERY YEAR TO TEST LIPSTICKS, SHAMPOOS,
AND OVEN-CLEANERS... 

People and animals, we are inter-related. A long-standing and complex relationship exists between us, it is often one of the mutual support. Yet, animals are abused every day in a variety of ways. Most cosmetics and household products are tested by painful experiments on animals. These include skin irritation tests in which a substance is
applied directly onto the skin, which has been made raw, of animals held stationary for weeks on end. The draize Eye Test involves injection of products into rabbits' eyes, causing ewelling, and frequently, blindness and burning away of the eyes.

Some products contain safe, natural ingredients, and are not tested on animals. Principals of the following firms have signed statements that they do not test their products on animals, nor do they send their products out for animal testing.

Generaly, the products are available in health food shops and elsewhere; they are cosmetic, personal care and household products.
