I won't buy while animals die

Hello!

For more than two decades, Avon, Mary Kay, Estée Lauder, and Revlon were among the largest mainstream international companies on PETA's cruelty-free lists. Avon banned all tests on animals following PETA's massive "Avon Killing" campaign, and Mary Kay pledged to go cruelty-free after cartoonist Berkeley Breathed mocked the company in his popular Bloom County comic strip. Since then, all four companies have enjoyed the support of PETA and millions of consumers who choose to buy cosmetics from companies that don't harm animals. But now we have learned that all four companies have been paying for tests on animals in order to sell their products in China—and they did not inform PETA or consumers that their policies had changed. We have no choice but to downgrade them by placing them on our list of companies that test on animals.

I was distressed to learn that Avon, Mary Kay, Estee Lauder, and Revlon are paying to have their products tested on animals for marketing in China. Your company has violated the trust of loyal customers such as me who have counted on your brand for decades largely because of your cruelty-free policies.

I will no longer purchase products from your company, and I'm sharing this disturbing information with everyone I know.
