“Scores of countries around the world are beating the U.S. to become cruelty-free by banning cosmetics tests on animals,” Reedus said. “Nobody wants rabbits or guinea-pigs to suffer for our vanity, least of all the animals. Let’s stop their suffering right here, right now. Join me in supporting the Cruelty Free International call to Congress and the FDA to bring an end to animal testing for cosmetics in the U.S.”
