04/28/2023 Against Botox Testing on Animals
Animal Friends Croatia has joined the organizations for animal rights throughout Europe by collecting signatures against Botox testing on mice, especially due to the use of the infamous test LD50. At the meeting last week in Amsterdam, ECEAE representatives submitted 164,770 signatures to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Even though the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) rejected the petition in the past, the EMA representatives promised to address this question nevertheless. „We have joined the EMA efforts to eliminate the test LD50 on mice being performed for face wrinkle removal. It is unacceptable that sentient animals continue to be exposed to a painful death because of a product widely used for cosmetic purposes, even though there are available methods not being used on animals for already 12 years”, Animal Friends Croatia points out.
