Urban Decay just posted this to their Facebook page"
"To all our UDers: We have decided to sell Urban Decay products in China. Because of China’s policies, this has upset some of our loyal fans who are also animal rights activists. For complete information, please visit www.urbandecay.com/chinainfo. We are listening to all of your feedback and questions, and will try to address every single one of you. We do want to address one FAQ: No, Urban Decay will not test on animals in China. However, the Chinese government may conduct a test using our products before they can be sold there. We absolutely realize that for many of you, it makes no difference who is doing the testing. But, animal rights are still very much important to Urban Decay, and our decision was a thoughtful one. Changes are already happening in China, and we will give our all to help advocate alternative methods."
As a customer of more than 12 years am VERY disappointed in this. Their products have always clearly stated "We don't do animal testing. How could anyone?". By knowingly selling their products to a market they know by law has to test on animals they are losing their Leaping Bunny & cruelty free certifications that have always been on their products and site
Thoughts?
