HSI: Ban animal comestics test
Thu, 8 April 2021
Humane Society International (HSI) has produced an animated short film entitled Save Ralph (Ralph being the name of a rabbit in the film) as part of a campaign lobbying for a ban on testing cosmetics on animals globally and in Cambodia.
In its press release on April 7, HSI said testing cosmetics on animals was banned in 40 countries, but remained legal in most of the world, including Cambodia.
Cambodian officials said while the practice has not been explicitly outlawed, there are no such testing facilities in the country.
According to HSI, the practice has recently been on the increase in some parts of the world and it was subjecting thousands of animals to needless suffering and death.
