Tell L’Oreal to Stop Testing on Animals
By Jenna MooreTarget: L’Oreal
Goal: Stop L’Oreal from testing their cosmetics on animals.
L’Oreal is the largest cosmetics and beauty company in the world. Despite claims that they would go “cruelty-free” in 2013 there is little evidence that they have started the process or will stop animal testing. Animal testing uses mice, rats, cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, monkeys, and other animals to test products. Animal testing is cruel and unnecessary. Animals react to substances differently than humans do, which makes animal testing unreliable and means little for the health of humans. Additionally, many tests produce inaccurate or misleading results. The Federal Drug Administration requires some animal testing, but many tests that are performed are not required.
Animal testing is inhumane. The animals are locked in cages and abused until they are killed or die. Some of the animals develop neurotic behavior from the stress and fear of the product testing. The animals are subjected to terrible treatment, like having cosmetic products rubbed into their eyes, before they eventually are left to die, alone and suffering from immense physical pain. More than 100 million animals are tortured to death for product testing every year. Every minute, just in United States labs, 219 animals are killed.
The animals painful and unnecessary deaths need to be stopped. Please, tell L’Oreal to stop testing on animals and end this needless torture.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear L’Oreal,
As the largest cosmetics and beauty industry in the world you are responsible for a lot of products, but also a lot of product testing on animals. Animal testing is cruel and needless. Animals have different reactions to substances than humans do. Animal testing is not reliable and teaches us little about how the product will affect a human. Many tests done on animals produce misleading or unreliable results. The Food and Drug Administration may require some animal testing, but most tests are not required and should not be performed.
Animals that are tested on are treated terribly. Some of the animals develop neurotic behavior from the stress and fear of the product testing. They are kept in small cages, where products are rubbed into their skin and eyes. The animals eventually are killed or left to die alone and in pain. In United States labs, 219 animals are killed every minute and more than 100 million animals are tortured to death for product testing every year.
The painful and unnecessary deaths from animal testing need to be stopped. Please, stop testing your products on animals and end this outdated torture.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

this needs to stop. if it has to carry on , test in prisoners that have done wrong. thats what i say. por innocent animals. Animals have rights too.
Yes, it does need to stop.However,I have worked in several max 5 prisons in drug rehab…..you should not substitute one form of cruelty for another!The prison system is about as broken as any system can be.I have done plenty “wrong” on the way while growing up, hasn’t everyone? Many times it is a poor choice made in a split second and the ripples go out to many.But by the same token,changing one’s attitude and way of thinking, can help a person to become socially/personally responsible.This type of change is NOT supported in your prisons.
I wouldn’t exchange one wrong for another. The point is, there’s no need to do this. One of the reasons that animal testing continues is that there are people who are making money from animal testing, like the “scientists” (vivisectors) who make big salaries to do the testing, and the awful dealers who steal people’s pets, or get them under the false pretense of wanting to adopt a pet, (say, from “Craig’s List”) and then sell them to laboratories.
When a person signs against L’Oreal they need to realize they are a parent company that includes Maybelline so you need to stop buying from every label under their umbrella.
I will never buy your products EVER!!!!!! TEST ON PEOPLE ON DEATH ROW OR CONVICTED FELONS!!!!! THEY ARE MORE DISPOSABLE!!!!! LEAVE ANIMALS ALONE!!!!!!!!!
I would go without make-up before I would by L’Oreal.
STOP!
the animals have A LIFE!!!!!!
I will NEVER buy products from L’Oreal or any of your affiliated companies. There is no reason for any company to animal test in the 21st century, unless you manufacture specific animal products. Shame on you L’Oreal!!!! You disgust me!!!
Most of these products are known to be toxic, but the testing persists and the products are marketed. This is a big business that is mandated by the government, yet there is no regulation to control the components of our household products, nor do they have to be labeled as to what is in them.
We own 2 pet rabbits and KNOW how sensitive they are, testing on them is TORTURE and you MUST STOP IT!!!! You can bet we will NOT
be buying your products and will tell our associates as well!!
This is unacceptable. No one who knows about this will ever buy your products.
As a Television Producer, we am creating a special show on your barbaric, savage torture and murdering of innocent animals for your garbage products. Not one damned penny from us will ever be spent on your trash! The world IS watching you! Grow up, idiots! Stop putting money before LIFE! The Party’s over!!!
Imagine the pain the animals go through , day after day anticipating the next cruel experiment> NEVER buy these products.
Cosmetic and house hold product testing was my first “cause” and led to 20 years as an activist. I am SO saddened that a industry giant such as L’oreal can not make the leap to cruelty free. Please make the compassionate choice to stop torturing animals. Many people (rightfully) boycott companies who test – I have an App on my iPhone and consult it when shopping or before I hit the store when I know I need a certain item.
stop!!
I too will not knowingly buy products where the company does testing on animals. I used to buy L’Oreal, but no more!
I used L’Oreal until now. I will NOT buy until you stop testing on animals. It is disgusting and unnecessary. It’s pretty clear that hair color shouldn’t go in anyone’s eyes, you still have to test this? Don’t you know by now? WHO are these people who can torture animals like that and get a paycheck for it? Sick! We have a strong following. Until you use simulators like the rest of the modern world, I will alert people to your barbaric practices of animal torture! There are other cosmetic/hair/face products that DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS!
You could tell from L’Oreal’s commercials, the type of attitude that they have. Since I’ve known about L’Oriel’s cruel animal testing for years, the arrogant “I’m worth it” always made me think that they mean “I’m worth torturing animals for!”. What kind of person could use their products knowing what they do to animals?
I will never buy L’Oriel’s products, and I will continue to tell everyone I know about L’Oriel’s animal testing, until you stop this evil, barbaric and unnecessary practice.
On a beau signer ces pétitions, ces tortures continuent. Que faut-il faire pour que ça s’arrête???
I sign petitions again and again but things don’t seem to change. What should we do to make things change???
I have already given up buying their products but it’s not enough. I quite agree with Tess, by the way.
Hard to believe we’re still fighting this fight in 2012. Seems simple: if you have to test it on living tissue to see if it’s safe, guess what? It probably ISN’T! I switched to all natural cruelty free cosmetics 2 years ago and while it costs a lot more, I do not regret it. Save bunnies and do your body a favor: lower your chemical load by choosing Avalon, Bert’s Bees, and similar products they are really good and good for you – and for bunnies too.
How can you condone such horrendous cruelty in this day and age. It is outdated and so unnecessary, and i for one will never by your products again until you have stopped testing on animals.
sad and sickening. all the money being wasted on all these stupid tests, supposedly to save humans. WHAT FOR? WHEN THEY HAVE KILLED ALL THE ANIMALS ALL OVER THE WORLD and theres none left what will they do then?… Start on humans.?? . Thats what they should be doing now. Use the Prisoners that have done wrong. Let them squake and squeal in pain. POOr ANIMALS suffering all the time.
So disturbing. These chemicals have been tested over and over again – do not buy from subsidiaries of L’Oreal either – like Ralph Lauren perfume!
wont be buyin anything from L’Oreal, its just NOT worth it girls!!
Avon is another one that tests on animals
For crying out loud – stop the torture !!
I have stopped long ago using your products.
I tell everybody to do the same – I even put it on our community notice board and newsletters.
