Victory! Hundreds of Animals Saved

The PETA International Science Consortium Ltd. helped a multinational company appeal a testing requirement that would have meant poisoning pregnant rats or rabbits with high concentrations of a cosmetics ingredient and then killing them and their babies just before birth. The Science Consortium supported the company through the process and spoke out for animals at the appeal hearing. As a result, the European Chemicals Agency’s Board of Appeal rejected the testing requirement and spared hundreds of animals’ lives.
