Stop animal testing worldwide.

What the petition asks
In 1998, animals being tested on for cosmetic products was banned in the UK, with the ban in the EU fully taking effect in 2013. However, animals can still be tested on for medical research. Why do we want animals to suffer treatment that may or may not fix our problems, especially out house pets?
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament don't have the power to make this change worldwide.
You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to encourage the governments of other countries to ban animal testing, if that's what you'd like to happen.
