Canada passes Cruelty Free Cosmetics Act

Yaaaasssss Canada! 

I must admit, I have been struggling with Canada's lackluster animal rights for a long time. In my fine country, bestiality is still legal under certain pretenses and farm animals still have basically no rights, so when an animal news story that shines a positive light on Canada's animal rights movement comes along, I must share with the utmost excitement!

Canadian senate has passed bill S-214 which will prohibit the sale of cosmetics that were tested on animals. This means that any cosmetic that was developed or manufactured using animal testing will be prohibited from being sold in the country! This is monumental, and Canada will join a slew of other countries that have already put this ban into place. It's long overdue and a definite step in the right direction when it comes to animal welfare.

As I've said in the past, animal testing for cosmetics is the most unnecessary form of animal cruelty on the planet. Cosmetics aren't going to save lives, cosmetics aren't going to find a cure for disease, cosmetics are a luxury that we don't even need. To think that we put animals through such emotional trauma, giving them rashes and skin irritations, open sores, and potential blindness or death, is unfathomable to me. These animals live in cages until they're forced to endure more testing which I can only imagine puts an immense amount of stress on these animals. It's just a horrible way for any animal to live.

With the law passing senate, it just needs to be approved by the House of Commons before becoming a law and I have faith that we will see the end of cosmetics testing in Canada!

Three cheers for animals in Canada <3
