Colombia recently passed a ban on cosmetic animal testing which will take effect in 2024. The first country in South America to pass such a ban, Colombia’s new legislation will prohibit testing new ingredients and products on animals, as well as ban the import of products tested on animals.

哥伦比亚最近通过了一项到2024年生效的化妆品动物试验禁令，从而成为第一个出台这类禁令的南美洲国家。哥伦比亚的这项新法规禁止用动物试验新的（化妆品）成分和产品，并且不准进口经动物试验的化妆品。

“The main purpose of the bill is to stop animal suffering in the cosmetics industry [and to] enable Colombian companies to enter the European market, a region that has for years rejected such tests,” said Juan Carlos Losada, the House Representative who introduced the legislation to Colombia’s Congress in 2018.

哥伦比亚众议员胡安·卡洛斯·洛萨达（Juan Carlos Losada）在2018年向国会提出了该法案。他说：“本法案的主要目的是终结化妆品行业中的动物苦难，[并且]使哥伦比亚的公司能够进入很多年前就拒绝这类试验的欧洲市场。”

Colombia joins 40 other countries that have banned or limited cosmetic animal testing, including the European Union, Australia, and Canada. In the United States, only three states—California, Nevada, and Illinois—currently have a ban in place.

在哥伦比亚通过该法案之前，世界上已经有40个国家禁止或限制化妆品动物试验，其中包括欧盟（成员国）、澳大利亚和加拿大。在美国，目前只有三个州──加利福尼亚州、内华达州和伊利诺伊州──出台了类似的禁令。

To change that, in July, 300 independent companies joined the 600 members of the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) to officially endorse the Humane Cosmetics Act—legislation introduced in 2019 by bipartisan politicians, including vegan Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), that aims to ban the testing of cosmetics on animals nationwide, as well as prohibit the import of cosmetics tested on animals from countries worldwide.

为了改变美国这种现状，300家独立公司在今年七月联合美国个人护理用品协会（PCPC）的600家会员公司正式支持《人道化妆品法》（Humane Cosmetics Act）──该法案是由包括纯素参议员科里·布克（Cory Booker）（民主党-新泽西州）在内的美国两党联合政治家们于2019年提出的，旨在取缔全国的化妆品动物试验，并且禁止从世界各国进口经动物试验的化妆品。
