PETA clashes with Fashion, demands for ban on animal tested cosmetics in India
New Delhi, Sep 18 (ANI): Animal rights advocates of PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) staged a protest at India Gate in New Delhi on Thursday demanding ban on sale of animal tested cosmetics products across Indian markets. Chaitanya Koduri, Science Policy Adviser for PETA India urged the Health Minister Harsh Vardhan to ban the sale of cosmetics products, which are being tested on animals abroad, across the country. However, Koduri said that in India animal testing has been banned since May 2014. According to PETA, in laboratories abroad, animals are routinely mutilated and used in various experiments especially for cosmetic products which are being supplied and sold in Indian markets.
