    Fighting Animal Testing: Lush and REACH

    LUSH have campaigned against the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) legislation since before it became law, because, like many of the animal protection groups, we were very concerned at the huge increase in animal testing that it would cause.

    Despite the concerns, it passed into law in 2007 and is currently being rolled out across Europe. In the video we try to explain why we are so worried about REACH animal testing and why consumers should be aware of this largely unknown legislation.

    TAKE ACTION! Please sign the petition to the European Commission today and join HSI in calling for immediate action to revise REACH to make full use of animal testing alternatives.

    Russia Sends Animals Into Space


    According to press reports on Friday, a Russian space mission was launched from Kazakhstan, Central Asia, with mice, gerbils, geckos, fish and snails on board. The unwilling participants are to orbit above Earth for the next month to study how long term space travel affects the animals.

    Although the animals are expected to return to Earth alive, if they do survive the trip and re-entry, they will be killed for analysis – like so many other animals in past decades.

    TAKE ACTION!

    Urge Lawmakers to Protect Undercover Investigations in Your State!

    Lawmakers are considering bills, which, if passed, could subject whistleblowers and undercover investigators to criminal prosecution for their efforts to expose animal abuse on factory farms and in slaughterhouses. These bills would make it a crime to record video of or photograph a farm and release these materials without the farm owner’s written consent and could stop vital undercover work that exposes routine abuse against animals in the factory farming industry. These absurd and unconstitutional bills, which infringe on Americans’ basic rights, are a desperate attempt by agriculture industry giants to prevent consumers from learning the truth about the lives and deaths of animals on factory farms.

    Undercover investigations have revealed torture of pigs at Smithfield Foods, disturbing abuse of pigs at Hormelhorrific conditions of turkeys at Butterball, and so much more. Don’t let this important work suffer!
