Boycott L'Oreal For Animal Testing
Target:
Lindsay Owen-Jones, Chairman & CEO of L'Oréal; IFAW; The Humane Society USA
Sponsored by:
They don't want to talk about it. They don't want you to know about it. But behind the glossy advertising and famous celebrities, the biggest cosmetics company in the world hides a shameful secret. Despite knowing the overwhelming public revulsion, L'Oreal continues to use thousands of animals to test upon every year. L'Oreal does not want to reveal animal testing to their customers, and they certainly don't want to reveal the disgusting range of tests carried out on the animals. In the name of vanity, animals are subjected to painful and cruel ingredient testing by the industry. Disgraceful eye irritation tests are conducted by securing rabbits so they are immobile while substances are dropped into their eyes (rabbits are used because they have no tear ducts and therefore cannot relieve the stinging and pain). Poisoning takes place whereby groups of animals are continually force-fed an ingredient until half of the group die. Other animals have their skin shaved and scraped until super-sensitive, then the ingredient is applied to test skin reaction - making sure that the poor animal cannot scratch or remove the substance. It is hard to imagine the pain suffered by these defenceless animals. But we all know how sore it can be when we get something in our eye or our skin is scraped - at least we can immediately do something to relieve the pain. Think of what it would be like if we were unable to touch or stop the pain, not just for a minute or two but for hours running into days. It's simply so disgraceful! And, we have only briefly mentioned three tests - there are a further six animal tests used by the cosmetics industry.

I don't need make-up etc badly enough to torture helpless animals through your testing. Please stop it. I will not buy any more Loreal until you stop this. I would rather you used me as a testing object. There is no way I could, in good faith, buy your product as long as you continue this horrible pratice. Please don't torture the animals. Sincerely, Jeri Maupin

I am so disgusted. I just purchased a product from Kiehl's online thinking it was okay since they have a no animal testing policy. I get my package today and it has a L'Oreal mailing label on it. I am so angry. I had no idea that they owned Kiehl's. I searched for Kiehl's on PETA's animal testing list, but did not find them. I had no idea of the connection. Thank God it was a small order of $12. I would hate to think of them getting more of my money to engage in such horrid tests. And what happened to L'Oreal stating that they were going to stop animal testing back in 2007? Did they change their minds? Well, that's a bummer then, because not only am I returning my order for a refund, but I am also boycotting all companies they own - including The Body Shop (disgusting that they own them too!!!).

I used the L'oreal product so far, but will never purchase it in future. In addition, I publicize villainy of L'oreal to a friend to the maximum.

Nothing, overall our own image, can excuse suffering of so many animals. Shame on you to carry on your tests in this way. I don't use your products for over 20 years now for this reason and won't change my mind unless you change yours by considering that any life, even if it is an animal one, deserve our respect.

Stop tessur animaux innocents pour des produits chimiques destinés aux humains. Les methodes alternatives marchent et l'oreal le sait bien mais torturer des animaux c'est mieux pour eux.
