It always saddens me when articles about animals being used as tests for cosmetic brands. I didn't really know how many brands actually tested on animals until I saw Peta2 tweet about their article showing which companies tested on animals and which ones didn't. Now, I'm not going to say that I don't have any cosmetics that are by companies that test on animals because that would be a lie. But, it's sad to see how many companies that are so high class, actually test on animals and still have such a high reputation.
A few years ago, Lush ran a campaign to show how torturous it could be for an animal to be used as a test subject by using a volunteer (a human) and displayed what she had to undergo when cosmetic brands were testing products on her. It was shown to the public on Oxford Street in London which is the biggest shopping strip in London (well, the most famous).
For more information, I've attached a link to the Peta2 page where you can find more information on which brands test on animals and which ones don't, as well as the DailyMailUK article on Lush's Animal Testing protest.
