       Shocking but also not surprising: UK government is now allowing the testing of cosmetics on animals, reversing a 25-year ban.Can’t express how angry I am. Utter bullshit decision from a bullshit government.

       @matthew This is matching an EU rule - it's not made up by the UK Gov! 'But in 2020 the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), an EU agency which oversees chemical regulation, ruled that companies needed to test some ingredients used in cosmetics on animals to ensure they were safe for workers manufacturing the ingredients'https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65484552
