Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez loves animals so much so that the actor is urging people to sign a petition for a global ban on animal testing of cosmetics and ingredients. “Real beauty cannot be achieved at the cost of harming anyone especially animals. The concept of animal testing for cosmetic brands should be banned,” says the actor, who has joined hands with cosmetic brand The Body Shop for a campaign titled Forever Against Animal Testing' (FAAT) for a global ban on cosmetics animal testing on products and ingredients by 2020. “A socially responsible conglomerate would prefer not to implement testing measures that prove hazardous to anyone's health.

I request you all to sign the petition and save our animals,” adds the actor.
