In another historic victory for animals in labs, New Zealand has just become the latest country to ban their use in cosmetics testing.
Following heavy campaigning by animal advocates and the Green Party to end the practice, this week the government voted to amend the Animal Welfare Act to make it illegal for companies to test finished products or their ingredients on animals in the country.
Even though it was a slightly different bill than the one pushed by the Green Party’s animal welfare spokesperson Mojo Mathers, she said she’s still “over the moon” that the government has acknowledged her work and agreed to a ban.
While no known testing is currently taking place in New Zealand, the new measure will ensure it never does. Now animal advocates are celebrating a win they believe will protect animals and bring the country in line with what consumers want.
