It's official! 🎉 Brazil's president has signed the country's first-ever chemicals management bill into law, which limits animal testing to a “last resort” and mandates that a plan be drafted to phase out animal testing for chemicals. A progressive step that will benefit people, animals, and the environment.   Thank you to #AFSApartner, Humane Society International/Brazil, for years of hard work with policymakers to make this important law a reality!   #Brazil #ChemicalsRegulation #AnimalFreeScience #RegulatoryCompliance #ChemicalsSafety
