Paul has joined a campaign to end cosmetic testing
on animals around the world after the practice was banned in Europe.
A new law prohibiting companies from testing beauty products on
animals came into action across the European Union in March, following
years of campaigning by officials at Cruelty Free International (BUAV).
Now the group has joined forces with the Beatles legend to demand that the ban is rolled out internationally.
McCartney says, "I have supported Cruelty Free International's
founding organization, the BUAV over the years with its campaign to end
cosmetics testing on animals. I am so proud to be part of this historic
event and congratulate Cruelty Free International for succeeding in
taking the cruelty out of beauty across the European Union.
"Together we have made a huge difference, yet animals continue
to suffer because over 80% of the world still allows cosmetics testing
on animals. I am now supporting Cruelty Free International with its
campaign to seek a global ban to ensure that animals do not suffer for
the sake of beauty anywhere in the world."
