Write to Lawmakers About the Humane Cosmetics Act

The Humane Cosmetics Act (H.R. 2790) is a bipartisan bill in the U.S. House of Representatives’ Energy and Commerce committee that would end cosmetic animal testing by private companies and the federal government.

Cosmetic testing is unnecessary and cruel.

Manufacturers can — and have — used non-animal alternative test methods, and they can — and have — made new products with thousands of ingredients already proven safe.

U.S. companies have already made changes to their testing practices in order to comply with international laws in the European Union, Israel and India to remain competitive in the global market.

Now our country needs to put a stop to cruel and pointless tests for its citizens as well.

Hamsters, cats,

The bipartisan bill is sponsored by Representatives Martha McSally (R-AZ,) Don Beyer (D-VA), Ed Royce (R-CA), Tony Cardenas (D-CA), Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ), and Paul Tonko (D-NY).

The American Anti-Vivisection Society makes it easy to thank your representative for supporting this bill.

Let’s get it passed!
