Bulgaria ranks fourth in the European Union in terms of the number of petition signatures against animal testing. A total of 56 515 Bulgarians joined the European Citizen’s Initiative "Save Cruelty-Free Cosmetics-Commit to a Europe without animal testing".
More than 10 million animals are used and killed in laboratory experiments every year. The signature collection deadline expired yesterday.
