They don't want to talk about it. They don't want you to know about it. But behind the glossy advertising and famous celebrities, the biggest cosmetics company in the world hides a shameful secret.

Despite knowing the overwhelming public revulsion, L'Oreal continues to use thousands of animals to test upon every year.

L'Oreal does not want to reveal animal testing to their customers, and they certainly don't want to reveal the disgusting range of tests carried out on the animals.

In the name of vanity, animals are subjected to painful and cruel ingredient testing by the industry.

Disgraceful eye irritation tests are conducted by securing rabbits so they are immobile while substances are dropped into their eyes (rabbits are used because they have no tear ducts and therefore cannot relieve the stinging and pain).

Poisoning takes place whereby groups of animals are continually force-fed an ingredient until half of the group die. Other animals have their skin shaved and scraped until super-sensitive, then the ingredient is applied to test skin reaction - making sure that the poor animal cannot scratch or remove the substance.

It is hard to imagine the pain suffered by these defenceless animals. But we all know how sore it can be when we get something in our eye or our skin is scraped - at least we can immediately do something to relieve the pain. Think of what it would be like if we were unable to touch or stop the pain, not just for a minute or two but for hours running into days.

It's simply so disgraceful!

And, we have only briefly mentioned three tests - there are a further six animal tests used by the cosmetics industry.

Thankfully, some countries, such as the UK have banned cosmetic ingredient testing, so L'Oreal had to go elsewhere, such as Japan and America where animal testing is allowed. However, the sale of products developed via animal testing is NOT banned. So, despite overwhelming public disapproval, L'Oreal continues new product development via animal testing - they just hide the fact from everyone.

L'Oreal is the single biggest obstacle to ending cosmetic testing on animals.

Therefore, Naturewatch are now launching a major campaign to boycott all L'Oreal products.

Naturewatch wants a promise from L'Oreal to stop this unacceptable cruelty to animals.

Your support is vitally important and there are a number of ways in which you can really make a difference for the defenceless animals.

Firstly, please write to the UK head of L'Oreal. His name is Tom Viner, please copy this letter and send it to him.

Secondly, Naturewatch have also produced an extensive "Action Pack" that includes all you need to take further action, including details of the Naturewatch Day of Protest against L'Oreal on Saturday 25th November.

With your help of support, we are determined to win this important fight on behalf of the tens of thousands of animals that are killed for vanity products every year.

Please make a donation to help the defenceless animals. Whatever gift you can spare is urgently needed and will be put to immediate use in this campaign to stop L'Oreal testing. The terrible fear, pain and despair that the animals endure in cruel experiment laboratories must end.

With your help, we can win this important battle.

L'Oreal has massive financial power, yet Naturewatch totally relies on your kind support to fund the fight for the imprisoned animals.

Please send your gift for the aniamls - today if you can. Please send all donations to Naturewatch, Freepost, 122 Bath Road, Cheltenham GL53 7BR.

With your support and help we can stop L'Oreal.

What goes on in animal testing?

"Animals are subjected to a myriad of sadistic and painful procedures, which include burning, mutilation, starvation, electrocution, irridiation, and long term isolation."

-The vegan source book.

Just like taking a test?

Ha, yea right!

"Millions of animals die annually in experiments conducted in laboratories in the united states and throughout the world."

-The vegan source book.

Did you know vivisection literally means cutting apart live animals?

And that is in fact a common procedure now a days.
