‘Don’t test makeup on animals – badgers don’t look good in lipstick’, declares ‘executive transvestite’ and acclaimed comedian Eddie Izzard, who graces the cover of PETA’s American Shopping Guide for Caring Consumers, the organisation’s most popular publication. The guide has grown to list more than 500 companies – including hip Tony & Tina and Urban Decay makeup, hot new household-product line Method and cosmetics giant Revlon – that have signed a statement of assurance promising never to test any ingredients or finished products on animals. Everything from cruelty-free personal-care items like perfumes, lipsticks, shampoos and lotions to household cleaners to dozens of companies that sell leather-free clothing, shoes and accessories can also be found inside the guide. A special bonus section lists health charities that refuse to fund cruel animal experiments – vital information for animal-friendly philanthropists. And new this year is a list of companion-animal food companies that do not conduct feeding trials on animals confined to laboratory cages. The guide will be available beginning this month in bookstores and health-food stores throughout North America. Click here for a complete list of products in the Shopping Guide. Consumers in America may order a copy of the Shopping Guide for $8.95, plus $3.95 shipping and handling, by visiting CaringConsumer.com or calling 1-800-483-4366. |
