Norman Reedus, actor from films like The Walking Dead and The Boondock Saints has joined with Cruelty-Free International in the fight against animal tested cosmetics.

Both Reedus and the organization would like to ban animal testing on beauty products in the United States and the rest of the world.

“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.”

True Blood actress Kristin Bauer has written a letter to the European Union commission, asking that it uphold a decision to ban the sale of all animal-tested cosmetics by 2013.

“No animal should suffer and die to test lipstick or eye shadow,” writes Bauer. “That’s why I’m writing to urge you to keep the European Union on the path to modern, innovative cosmetics testing. Please maintain the EU’s 2013 deadline for banning the marketing of animal-tested cosmetics.”
