Kesha urged Brazil to ban animal testing: “Animal testing is the beauty industry’s ugly secret, and so it gives me such joy to be a part of the #BeCrueltyFree campaign to end this suffering. Country by country, #BeCrueltyFree is giving the world a makeover, with more than thirty countries so far having banned cruel cosmetics animal testing, but sadly not yet here in Brazil. The wonderful Brazilian people have shown they want a complete ban, no loop-holes or half measures. So now they need their politicians to listen, and stop defenceless animals suffering pain and death for the sake of a new lip stick or shampoo. So come on Brazil, show the world you’ll be next to end cosmetics animal testing, let’s #BeCrueltyFree!”

Leona refuses to use any products that aren’t cruelty-free: “My makeup and hair people know I don’t use any brushes that use real animal hair. We stay away from products from parts of the world where they’re animal-tested or not humane at all… I couldn’t even kill a spider or a fly or anything; I’m very Buddhist in that sense.”
