By
campaigning
for
a
world
wide
ban,
The
Body
Shop
is
hoping
that
they
will
raise
consumer
awareness.
They
believe
that
when
con
sumers
become
aware
of
the
high
percentage
of
companies
who
test
on
animals
for
cosmetic
purposes,
they
will
begin
to
speak
out
against
this
inhumane
form
of
testing.
The
Body
Shop
believes
that,
the
now
aware,
consumers
will
use
their
purchasing
power
and
veto
those
companies
who
do
use
animal
testing
and
encourage
those
who
do
not
speak
out
against
it
to
do
so.
Tens
of
thousands
of
animals
are
killed
in
tests
conducted
for
cosmetic
or
toiletry
purposes.
These
tests
are
not
needed,
so
why
are
these
animals
suffering?
There
are
over
8,
000
ingredients
which
are
presently
available
for
use
in
the
cosmetic
industry
which
need
no
further
testing.
The
Body
Shop
be
lieves
that
the
ingredients
available
are
sufficient
for
the
products
needed
yet,

we
can
stop

fesfingl
ask
questions,
discover
the
facts.
The
Body
Shop
is
campaigning
for
a
world
wide
ban
on
animal
testing
for
cosmetic
purposes.
They
believe
that
testing
cosmetics
and
cosmetic
ingredients
on
animals
is
unethical,
and
unnecessary.
Since
December
31,
1990,
The
Body
Shop
has
had
a
purchasing
rule
which
they
have
followed
diligently.
Their
purchasing
rule
states
that
The
Body
Shop
will
not
purchase
ingredients
which
have
been
tested
or
retested
on
animals
for
cosmetic
purposes.
A
spokes-person
from
The
Body
Shop
believes
that
the
purchasing
rule
makes
things
difficult
for
suppliers
but
states
that
the
purchasing
rule
is
fully
attainable.
OGGIWST
they
do
realize
that
new
products
will
be
developed,
and
that
there
is
a
need
for
them.
The
Body
Shop
acknowledges
that
they
too
will
need
new
products
in
the
future
but
they
say
that
they
will
use
alternative
tests
which
have
been
developed
for
such
use.
There
are
over
five
alternative
tests
available
which
do
not
harm
any
living
thing
and
The
Body
Shop
believes
that
they
are
more
than
sufficient
to
take
the
place
of
testing
on
animals.
The
Body
Shop
is
asking
you,
as
a
purchaser
of
these
products,
to
ask
questions
and
find
out
if
the
product
that
you
are
purchasing
has
been
tested
on
animals.
They
want
you
to
ask
about
the
ingredients
as
well,
and
if
they
have
been
tested
on
animals,
take
a
stand,
do
not
buy
the
product
and
let
it
be
known
why.
The
Body
Shop
believes
that
together
we
can
stop
animal
testing.
