‘Walking Dead’ Star Is Ready for Animal Tests to Die
On The Walking Dead, Daryl Dixon offs zombies without breaking a sweat. But the man who plays him, Norman Reedus, doesn’t think that blood and gore have any place in real life, so he wants the U.S. to ban animal testing for cosmetics. Norman urged everyone to get involved by calling on Congress and the Food and Drug Administration to ban the tests: “Scores of countries around the world are beating the U.S. to become cruelty-free by banning cosmetics tests on animals. Nobody wants rabbits or guinea-pigs to suffer for our vanity, least of all the animals. Let’s stop their suffering right here, right now.”
