Israel: Ban Animal Testing For Cosmetic/Cleaning Products
REPLY DIRECTLY TO: adamatova adamatova, adamatova@gmail.com
BACKGROUND:
1/15/07, from Joy Sherri, adamatova@gmail.com -- In light of today's
rejection by the Knesset of an amendment to a law which would ban animal
testing in cosmetic and cleaning products, a petition has been written to be
sent to the National Council for Experimentation on Animal Subjects and
other sources both in Israel and abroad, to strongly request that this ban
be reviewed and be passed. The laws against causing pain and suffering to
animals are part of our heritage and to have them dismissed in this way by
politicians is nothing short of an outrage. I urge you to take a moment to
read the petition and to place your name to it.

SIGN PETITION: No to Animal Experimentation in Israel Cosmetic Industry

To: National Council for Experimentation on Animal Subjects
I agree that all animal testing in Israel for cosmetic purposes should be
banned immediately. We already have hundreds of cosmetic and cleaning
products on the market and to deliberately cause animals pain, suffering and
ultimately death in order to produce yet more non-essential home care and
cleaning products is morally, consciously and scientifically unjustifiable.
On January 15, 2007 a proposed amendment to a bill proposed by Likud MK
Gideon Sa'ar that would have seen new legislative action taken to prevent
experimentation on animals for the purposes of testing cosmetic or cleaning
products was rejected by the Knesset.
I hereby put my name to this petition and strongly request that the Knesset
re-review the amendment preventing using animals in testing of cosmetic and
cleaning products and to take immediate measures to ensure the immediate
cessation of the ongoing animal experimentation in Israel in this industry.
In addition, I put my name here in full support of a boycott against any
Israeli product manufactured through animal testing and will hereby be
choosing products which specifically state that no animal testing was done
in their manufacture.
Sincerely, The Undersigned
