How Could Anyone? Campaign Kicks off at Genesis Awards
Urban Decay Cosmetics kicked off the How Could Anyone? campaign to support and honor their long-time stance against animal testing for cosmetics. The campaign launched at the Genesis Awards last Saturday.
“We don't do animal testing. How Could Anyone?” has been Urban Decay’s motto since 1996 when Sandy Lerner, an animal-rights activist, co-founded the brand. Urban Decay teamed up with The HSUS to launch the How Could Anyone? Campaign. In an effort to spread their message, Urban Decay created a How Could Anyone? Bracelet. 100% of Urban Decay's profits from this bracelet will be donated to the HSUS to help stop cruelty to animals. Urban Decay will provide a minimum of $25,000 to The HSUS.
