While I understand the need to make sure that products are safe for consumers to use, I am deeply concerned over this recent change in MAC Cosmetics policy on animal testing that I read about at the beauty blog Logical Harmony here: http://www.logicalharmony.net/mac-cosmetics-is-no-longer-cruelty-free.I am concerned about MAC starting to do animal testing because it is no longer necessary in this day and age. Additionally this issue affects the entire makeup community because MAC is a very popular brand with a lot of influence.Starting in 2013, the UK will have banned animal testing.lease rethink your new policy on animal testing and go back to being cruelty free.

Iâm no longer purchasing from MAC if animal testing is going to be part of what you stand for.
