Singer Joss Stone back Cruelty Free International

UK born singer-songwriter Joss Stone is the latest celebrity to back Cruelty Free International, a new worldwide organisation set up by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV), which aims to see a ban on the testing of products on animals.

Joss Stone joins the former Office star Ricky Gervais.  Gervais is well-known for his love of animals and was recently announced the Ambassador for Cruelty Free Cosmetics.

As part of its mission, Cruelty Free International will work alongside governments, companies and other organisations and sets out to put the issue of animal testing on government agendas worldwide for the first time in a global initiative.

Commenting in a news release from Cruelty Free International Joss Stone said:

I’m proud to support Cruelty Free International. At last someone has stepped up to the plate to take on the task of ending cosmetics tests on animals around the world.”


"Thousands of animals continue to die each year for lipstick, toothpaste, fragrance and other products, so it’s crucial that we campaign for a global ban. Cruelty Free International has taken on this challenge and I am pleased to support them, and I urge you all to do the same."
