I want to highlight on the forum this topic, which is carefully hidden by cosmetics manufacturers.
Here is an article from the website of the Centre for the protection of animal rights "VITA"
according to the magazine "Cats Today"
When I buy cosmetics, hygiene or household chemicals, always think about cruelty to animals. Many products that we use in everyday life, before you get on the store shelves have been tested on animals.
It's hard to believe now, in the third Millennium, a normal person to agree to kill a living being, be it rabbit, Guinea pig or kitten, to produce a new lipstick or dishwashing plumbing. However, millions of animals die such a death, although there are many humane alternatives.
You want to know what happens to experimental animals during testing of a product? We all got in my eyes a small drop of shampoo, and we thoroughly washed the eyes to wash away the shampoo, because it burns very eyes. And imagine what would You have, if someone poured You in the eye the whole tablespoon of shampoo, and You would not be able to wash it with water, no tears. This is exactly what happens with Guinea pigs in the test Draize: animals put on eye test substance and waiting until damage to the cornea. Often the test ends with the fact that the cornea becomes cloudy, eyes dies. Rabbit head is firmly fixed using a special collar and the animal can't even RUB the paw of the eye, which corrodes the applied drug.
As a child I cried when I fell on the ground and abdirali knees. But at least no one rubbed me the wound cleansers. But in tests for skin irritation in rats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, and even dogs, cats and monkeys, shave the hair, skin and rubbed into the wound of the test substance.
To my surprise I found a website where you can buy cosmetics - albinastore.com .
