Cruelty Free International has been recruiting more celebrity supporters – and most recently, actress Lori Singer.

The organization’s new campaign is calling for a ban on animal testing in the U.S.

“We are thrilled to have the support of Lori Singer,” said a spokesperson for the organization. “We urge the US to follow Europe’s lead and end the cruel and outdated use of animals in cosmetics testing. Please take action by supporting Cruelty Free International.”

In March 2013, animal tests were banned for new cosmetics sold in the European Union; the most rigorous far-reaching animal testing ban in the world. This historic milestone was achieved after over twenty years of campaigning by Cruelty Free International’s founding organization, the BUAV. Israel also has a ban on animal tests for cosmetics and India is likely to follow.
