Be Cruelty Free: Congress bill enters that prohibits the testing of cosmetics in animals - the counter

Animalist lawyer Ariadna Beroiz said that “the initiative shows a reality in two edges.In the first place, that the cosmetics industry justifies this use as a need for human health when it is not and second, giving account of the status of Chile on the subject ”.According to the lawyer, this fact allows to put in the public debate the right of animals and that the country adapts to the international context, which is much more advanced in the subject.

Currently in Chile, Law 20.380 on animals protection establishes regulations on animal tests for educational purposes, both superior and in schools.However, there is no mention of testing in private companies or institutions.
