Vegetarian Star

“Ending animal testing for cosmetics is close to my heart, and so is my bunny Melrose. Melrose is so gentle and loving with such an amazing personality all her own, it breaks my heart to know there are thousands of rabbits who are just as special suffering a terrible fate to test cosmetics. I would never dream of causing Melrose pain, but in laboratories around the world, rabbits and other helpless animals still have chemicals dripped in their eyes or spread over their sensitive skin just to test new lip sticks or shampoo. I want their suffering to stop.”

—Leona Lewis, one of two stars seen in ads by the Humane Society of the United States that promote cruelty-free cosmetics and celebrate International Rabbit Day.

“It’s the saddest thing to know that rabbits can’t cry, which is one of the reasons these gentle creatures are used in painful eye tests for cosmetics. When I think of their unnecessary suffering I could certainly shed a tear, so I’m backing the Be Cruelty-Free campaign to see an end to animal testing in North America and globally. Show the bunnies some love and let’s end cosmetics cruelty.”

—Owain Yeoman, for the Be Cruelty-Free Campaign with the Humane Society of the United States. Yeoman and singer Leona Lewis both issued statements on ending animal testing in cosmetics in honor of International Rabbit Day.

Inside she discusses her passion for ending animal testing on cosmetics, as well as her cruelty-free brand she has launched with The Body Shop.

“They say you can judge a society on how it treats its animals, and I think that’s very true – it all filters down.”

The trickle down effect goes all the way to the bottom line of businesses–who are entirely dependent on the consumer’s choice and pocketbook.
