Something to think about

I thought the time of animal abuse was over, but this appeared to be otherwise when I read an article about animals which are still used as laboratory animals for different cosmetic brands.  Some companies succeed to keep this secret, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen anymore. However, using laboratory animals is forbidden in many countries, but there are companies out there who don’t care about this rule. Cosmetic companies still test their products on animals.
People, who don’t care about animals, probably don’t care about the laboratory animals either. But for the people who do care about (laboratory) animals are not amused by this. Many animals like mice, rabbits, birds, monkeys, cats and dogs are being tortured, so the final product of the cosmetic companies can be sold in the stores.
Cosmetic company Essence thinks differently about this. This company goes by the slogan ‘No testing on animals!’. Essence claims they don’t use animals to test the products on. The company itself doesn’t use animals to test their products on. They managed to keep their products 100 per cent animal experiment free. The companies Essence cooperates with don’t use animals either. Although Essence isn’t the most popular cosmetics brand, this decision can provide more consumers. People who care about this are easily willing to choose for Essence.
I’m using Essence too. It may not be a brand with the best quality, but the fact that they don’t use animals to test their products on makes it attractive for me to use this brand.
