A new opinion poll commissioned by the SPCA shows that 69.2 percent of Taiwanese consumers want to see animal testing of cosmetics banned, and 76.5 percent believe animals shouldn't suffer in name of beauty.

An increasing number of countries around the world have banned the use of animals in cosmetics testing, including the European Union, Norway, Israel, India and New Zealand, the SPCA stated.

Wang and the BeCrueltyFree campaign are hoping Taiwan will be next to end animal suffering due to cosmetics testing. Wang, along with the Taiwan SPCA and Taipei Rabbit Society Association, called upon the government to act quickly in passing the bill that would make Taiwan the first country in East Asia to ban what they call cosmetics cruelty.

Wang is proposing amendments to Taiwan's Control for Cosmetic Hygiene Act, which would ban cosmetic animal testing as well as the sale of cosmetics which have been newly tested on animals abroad following a three-year grace period, regardless of the current state of alternative tests.
