Animals: For long eyelashes

This campaign is from the Czech animal rights organisation Svoboda Zvírat and it’s about cosmetics tested on animals.
For long eyelashes / For luxuriant hair / For beautiful lips.

This Cosmopolitan look-a-like ads say: this is how 300.000 lab animals suffer each year.
Say no to cosmetics tested on animals.
The Svoboda Zvírat website gives more information about testing on animals, they published also a checklist with ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cosmetics.

Below the billboard and a ad at a barbershop, the place to be for this campaign.

I think that this is a good blog, but it think that the people in the photos would look like that if they WERE NOT tested on animals. Would YOU like to look like that after putting on your mascara of you blush? NO. So, you can keep on complaining about “Oh the little Chimpanzees this, the little white lab rats that.” I want to see the PEOPLE who test the products that weren’t tested on animals, so now the people who actually contribute to society can not contribute as much since the mascara they put on last week blinded them. If they aren’t tested on animals, then they are tested on humans. So fuck those animals that test the products, they keep US and YOU safe!

ok well ya it keeps us from getting hurt but honestly if these people really had put on mascara or blush or any type of make-up and that happend to them maybe they would then understand what these poor inosent animals like rabbits and mice go thrught and might care a little more about it i think that animals being tested on is a bad idea and should be outlawed and people that still use animals a freakin test subjects should be put in jail it not right at all i dont think so and know one i know thinks its right either that my opinion and im stickin to it

Yeah, and people could just use natural products that don’t do that to people OR other animals, and that have been used by civilizations for centuries like coconut oil and minerals geez..

i think that
all humans-suicidal humans,and murderers should have cosmetics tested on them.people who attempt to kill themselves,clearly want to die,so they should sign themselves up for this!

I think this is a good wake up call to everyone. to make them think about the makeup and the process it goes through. i recently did a project on animal testing and it is disgusting the methods they use

TO BAMHAMA:  You need to do your homework on animal testing. Then you would realize that all this product “safety” testing is a complete waste of time, money, and most importantly innocent lives. Typically rabbits are used in cosmetics testing. Why? Because they are so like us? NO. Because they are cheap and easy to breed. Also, the structure of their tear ducts keeps their eyes from tearing up and washing away the test substance. They do not react to products like we do. For example, when bleach is applied to their skin it is only mildly irritating, but to humans is a major irritant. You should really look at all the facts on animal testing. I think you will be very surprised, particularly in the cases of drug testing. Here are a few to look into: TGN 1412, Baycol, Prempro. All of these had undergone animal testing for years, yet caused serious problems when administered to humans.

animal testin is pointles. rabit eyes may be SIMILAR, and there for admitin tht is it pointles, because its for humans, we should test it on HUMAN eyes because its for HUMANS. my rabbit doesnt use my masscara, so whts the use testin it on her? they should test it on pedos and rapists and murderers, as a set law punishment. i had a foundation, and it was realy nic e on my skin, and my mum treied some, and sjhe had a rash.... so againk we all act differently....

up yours you animal hatin murdering nymphettes!!!

ANITA RODICK!!!! WOOPWOOP ok i bought some stuff from body shop, and so did my friends, non of us have had bad reactions, and they wernt tested on animals at all, yet my firend bought somtheing that was tested on a little furry cute white mouse, and got a very nasty reaction....

ANIMAL TESTIN IS POINTLES!!!!!

To date, several non-animal test methods have been formally validated and accepted by some countries as replacements for an existing animal test. Examples include the following:

• An embryonic stem cell test, using mouse-derived cells to assess potential toxicity to developing embryos, has been validated as a partial replacement for birth-defect testing in rats and rabbits.(9)
• The 3T3 Neutral Red Uptake Phototoxicity Test uses cells grown in culture to assess the potential for sunlight-induced (“photo”) irritation to the skin.
• Human skin model tests are now in use, including the validated EpiDerm™ test, which has been accepted almost universally as a total replacement for skin corrosion studies in rabbits.(10)
• The use of human skin leftover from surgical procedures or donated cadavers can be used to measure the rate at which a chemical is able to penetrate the skin.
• Microdosing can provide information on the safety of an experimental drug and how it is metabolized in the body by administering an extremely small one-time dose that is well below the threshold necessary for any potential pharmacologic effect to take place.

There are tons of advanced alternatives.
