EVERY year, thousands of animals around the world, such as hamsters, rabbits and dogs, still suffer and die in cosmetics testing.

Add a little compassion to your Christmas list this year and contact the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) for a Little Book of Cruelty-Free.

This guide to "not animal tested" cosmetics and toiletries will help you find the perfect cruelty-free Christmas gifts, whether you're looking for a glossy lipstick or a sparkly nail varnish.

For more information on the BUAV and its campaigns please go to our website, www.buav.org
