Djurskyddet Sverige is the largest association for animal welfare in Sweden. We work to raise the level of awareness in the society and among people, that all animals are individuals with the capability of suffering.
Every individual should thus be treated with respect and in accordance with their specific behavioral and physiological needs. Thus, the ethical treatment of animals is of fundamental importance to our organization.
Djurskyddet Sverige is very concerned that the ban of cosmetics products tested on animals that should be implemented in 2013, now is under discussion. We are of the definite opinion that the deadline must be maintained, irrespective of availability of alternatives. It would be deeply unethical to postpone the deadline. We concur in the opinion of a large majority of Europeans that find testing of products for cosmetics on animals both unnecessary and unethical.
