Humane Canada Celebrates the End of Cosmetic Animal Testing in Canada
June 22, 2023 marked a monumental victory for Humane Canada and animal welfare, when our nation officially joined the ranks of over 40 countries worldwide that have enacted laws to ban or significantly limit cosmetic animal testing. This milestone reflects a growing global commitment to humane practices and animal rights, and marks a significant step forward in the movement towards more ethical and compassionate treatment of animals.
For years, Humane Canada has been a vocal advocate for the abolition of cosmetic animal testing, highlighting the unnecessary pain and suffering it inflicts. Our efforts have been focused not just on advocacy but also on collaborative engagement with key stakeholders. We are proud to have consulted with the Government of Canada on the development of these vital provisions. Our collaboration aimed to ensure that the legislation was both effective and reflective of the values of compassion and respect for animal life.
The new law marks a pivotal change in the cosmetics industry and animal welfare, ensuring that beauty and health products are brought to market without harming animals. It aligns Canada with international standards and showcases our country’s dedication to progressive values in animal welfare.
As we celebrate this achievement, we also look forward to a progressive future for all animals in Canada. Humane Canada remains committed to advocating for the welfare of animals across all sectors. We continue our work, ensuring that our practices evolve and that we maintain our dedication to ending animal suffering.
This milestone not only represents a significant victory for animal welfare in Canada but also renews our motivation to push for similar changes globally. We thank our supporters, partners, and the Canadian government for their roles in this achievement. Together, we have proven that change is possible, paving the way for a future where animals live free from unnecessary pain and suffering.
Here's to a kinder, more humane Canada!
