Dear
Maureen Chiquet Director of Chanel's Company,
I
am writing in regard to your animal experiments to test your
exclusive products in them.
I
am very interested to know why such a unique company and directed
mostly to upper class, test its products on animals like cosmetics
companies low-end?. Could you let me know why Chanel commits such as
barbaric and unnecessary actions?. I would be grateful if you
answered these questions, but first I am going to expose my ideas.
First
of all, laboratories test their products on live animals because it
is cheap. However, it is not because the results have greater
scientific value.
Secondly,
millions of animals are subjected alive to all kinds of tests for
cosmetic products, you subject them to various tests, some
particularly cruel and painful. Year after year, they are repeated
unnecessarily and merciless. Please remember that these are live
animals with a nervous system that feel the same as us.
Moreover,
today many laboratories are working in the recreation of artificial
human skin models in 3D as an alternative to animal testing to see
how that product could affect the human body. In addition, it can
examine the product and its effects on the different layers of the
skin. I think it would be a good alternative and If we refer to
Chanel with its large number of consumers and large profits could
financially afford this wonderful alternative.
Finally,
the cosmetic animal testing is not specifically required by law. To
promote a product must be shown to be safe, and that can be done
using validated non-animal tests, using combinations of existing
ingredients that are safe to use in humans methods.
Could
you please consider my letter and please tell me which alternative
are you going to use?. Please do not forget that we can exert
pressure as consumers. Some laboratories may prefer the economic
interests to the ethical, but we can modify its policies through
boycotts and protest campaigns. And if Chanel changed, everybody else
would change. Beauty is not cruelty.
I
look forward to hearing from you, Thank you very much for reading my
letter Sir.
Yours
sincerely, Yusra Yacubi.
In my free time I like listening to music and getting together with my friends. We're very different from each other and sometimes we get angry but I love them for anything. I also love reading; I always read romance novels because they're my favourites. I think reading is a good way to forget everything for a little bit. What do you think?
