The European Commission has validated a petition against animal experiments after more than a million signatures were collected across 22 EU countries. The petition, titled “Save Cruelty-Free Cosmetics – Commit to a Europe without Animal Testing “, has become the ninth most successful European Citizens Initiative. Although the EU has a ban on cosmetic animal testing, the petition states that “the promise has been broken”, adding that many “authorities still demand animal tests on ingredients used in cosmetics.”
