Rejected petition Make a requirement for all Shampoo/Shower Gel products to be Animal Cruelty Free

Make it a requirement for all Shower Gell/Shampoo products to be approved to be Animal Cruelty Free, meaning no animals have been used in the creation of the product or in testing stages.

More details

Animals are kept in tiny living conditions, bred to be injected and poisoned with chemicals to provoke a reaction in their poor bodies. This often leads to the animal, which could range from a mouse to a dog, to experience excruciating pain and discomfort, sometimes even death. There are many better ways to test products, rather than on animals.
