According to People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), three cosmetic manufacturing giants
that have enjoyed decades of inclusion on the non-profit’s list of companies
that don’t test their products on animals have been lying for years.
The deceptive trio of Avon, Estee Lauder and Mary Kay, have been secretly
funding poisoning tests on animals in China.
The tests were conducted under the direction of the Chinese government in
order for the three cosmetic peddlers to sell their wares in China.
Oh oh looks like that pink Caddy was funded with a touch of cruelty.
"Avon, Estée Lauder, and Mary Kay have regressed a generation: Their
products are once again being dripped into rabbits' eyes and smeared onto
animals' abraded skin," says PETA Vice President of Laboratory
Investigations Kathy Guillermo. "Fortunately, consumers don't have to
backslide with them—we can still choose to purchase products from the more
than 1,000 companies on PETA's list of companies that do not test on
animals."
