Adrian Sanders MP for Torbay supports BUAV call to end animal testing for cosmetics  

Adrian Sanders MP is joining the BUAV in marking the first anniversary of the No Cruel Cosmetics campaign to end animal testing for toiletries and cosmetic products sold in the EU.  Despite UK and EU bans on animal testing for cosmetics, products can still be tested on animals in other parts of the world and then imported and sold in the EU.  A marketing ban which would end this cruelty is due to come into effect in 2013.
