Shocking stunt to promote anti-animal testing policy by Lush

By on Wednesday, April 25, 2012

Lush created a shocking and hard hitting PR  stunt to promote their anti-animal testing policy by subjecting a woman to ‘animal tests’ in their Regent St window.  Humane Society International and Lush Cosmetics have joined forces to launch the largest-ever global campaign to end animal testing for cosmetics using: Jacqueline Traide.

Jacqueline volunteered for her starring role in the shocking performance to underline a campaign aimed at drawing attention to the pain and cruelty inflicted on animals during laboratory tests on cosmetics. Dressed in nothing but a flesh-coloured body stocking, she was put on display in the shop window of Lush store branch in Regent Street, London, to re-enact widely used tests such as:

  • Being force-fed and given injections at the store
  • Manhandling by performance artist Oliver Cronk dressed as a lab technician
  • Irritant sprayed into her eyes
  • Restrain for ten hours
  • Shaving a large strip from her hairline using electronic clippers
The ‘cruelty-free’ chain is helping to spearhead a Humane Society International campaign to end cosmetic testing on animals which is often hidden behind closed doors.
This thought provoking campaign definitely caught the attention of onlookers and media.
