Yep, You read that title correct.
Urban Decay known for it's cruelty free products yesterday announced that they will no longer be standing by their mission statement.
They have decided to sell their products in China which now means that China can take Urban Decay products and test them on animals.
Urban Decay is letting China use their brand to cause' harm to helpless animals.
As the Urban Decay website states that for 16 years they have been committed against the fight of animal testing, But with this recent news's I do not know how this can be true. Just because your company isn't testing the product on the animals but letting a third party test your products on animals in China is just wrong.
If I could tell the head of UD who has made this choice.
Id tell them:
Id tell them:
It's like Paul Watson saying "I think I'll start selling Whale Meat."
I posted the above on their Facebook page last night, So hopefully someone will see it.
I read a post on their that they lost over 7,000 likes last night. Which hopefully that will show them that what they did was not a good choice and that their loyal fans are not going to stand behind them on this.
In the end this company will have to live with this decision, And one that will lose thousands of loyal customers. To support animal testing of their brand by the Chinese government. All just to make more money.
What do you all think?
Will you still buy from Urban Decay?

I think this is definitely a money driven decision which is really sad. I'm going to stay away from UD I don't like the statement they issued either. They can't expect to be able to change a country when it's own people have had no success doing so.
ReplyDeleteI totaly agree. I hate how they said that they aren't testing on animals but allowing a third party in China test their product on animals.
DeleteIt really bugs me, I know alot of products aren't cruelty free but Urban Decay's whole mission was to be cruelty free. I will really miss this brand :(
