As public opposition towards animal testing has grown, animal use has been broadly prohibited where alternative methods are “reasonably and practicably available” (e.g., EU Directive 86/609, as well as legislation in the U.S. states of California [PDF], New Jersey [PDF] and New York). Animal testing bans may also be sector-specific, as in the case of the 7th Amendment to the EU Cosmetics Directive [PDF], which currently bans the marketing of any formulated cosmetic products that have been animal tested, and will soon culminate in an EU-wide marketing ban of cosmetic products whose ingredients have been animal tested following 2009 and 2013 cut-off points.
