Canada has made major moves toward phasing out unnecessary and cruel toxicity testing on animals. Now the federal government needs to fund those working on alternative methods, like @CCAAM_CaCVAM. My latest for @globeandmail: theglobeandmail.com/amp/opin…

Today is the 10th anniversary of the historic, standard-setting EU #cosmetic #animaltesting ban!  A whole decade and 40+ countries later, Canada is yet to follow suit! Time for @CanadianPM @liberal_party to fulfil platform promise to end cosmetic animal testing by 2023!
