Source: The Times of India, Date: , 2014
India has
become the first country in south Asia to completely ban the import of animal
tested cosmetics, much to the joy of activists who had been consistently
lobbying for it. Humane Society International/India's #BeCruelty Free campaign
is also celebrating the "historic victory for animals" due to this
ban. Coming just few months after implementation of a national ban on cruel
cosmetics testing in India's labs, the import ban now makes India the first
cruelty-free cosmetics zone in south Asia and an example for other nations to
follow.
