Sat Siri Akaal.

Sikhs do not hunt animals, fishes, or any other living thing, for sport. It is in keeping with Sikhi to support a ban on hunting.

As for using animals for cosmetics testing, since such testing can harm the animal, it is in keeping with Sikhi to support 'no animal testing'.

Why? We do not harm or take the life of anything or anyone EXCEPT for purposes of self-defense.
