I will also stick to the brands that we all know they do not test, if I want to try something diffrent I will support indie brands from etsy.. Thank you for the post! As always very helpful!!

FYI: Leaping Bunny will still certify brands that do not test on animals but are OWNED by brands that do test on animals. For example, L’Oreal, which tests on animals, now owns Urban Decay, which is still leaping bunny certified

In reply to beautythatwantstesting. It's a shame you feel that non-human animals should be tested on. Maybe you shouldn't consume these products. I think this is a huge improvement and I really hope the U.S. is the next to implement this.

It sounds like there are some loopholes in the EU ban. If they are truly serious they would not allow ANY “animal tested” products to be sold no matter where they come from, including products with the “tested by law” clause.

I agree with beautythatwantstesting when she says ” I am not a test subject”… Humans aren’t and neither should animals be. They have just as much right to this planet as we do!

I hope more people become aware of this and a world wide ban on animal testing is not only put in place but enforced.

I think that this is the biggest mistake the EU is making. I as a human am not a test subject

Your posts (this and the Shiseido post) definitely do shed light on a somewhat confusing matter. After finding out more about what this ban really means, I have come to the conclusion that I will not change my consumer habits but will continue to buy from the brands that are cruelty-free (and in some cases vegan), do not sell in China and are either Vegan Society or Leaping Bunny approved. Just to be sure. But still, the ban is great news!
