ANIMAL TESTING FOR HOUSEHOLD CLEANING PRODUCTS

Motion Text

That this House believes that, in the light of the UK Government's decision in 1998 to no longer license animal tests for cosmetic and toiletry products and ingredients on the basis that the trivial end product could not justify the animal suffering caused, the same lack of justification exists for causing harm to laboratory animals for non-essential items such as carpet shampoo or washing-up liquid; and, taking into consideration the public's clear desire to end animal testing for what they consider to be non-essential items, calls on the Government to introduce a date for a ban on animal testing for what they consider to be non-essential items such as carpet shampoo or washing-up liquid; and, taking into consideration the public's clear desire to end animal testing for what they consider to be non-essential items, calls on the Government to introduce a date for a ban on animal testing for household cleaning products and ingredients.
