Eh, I figured I'd post something new and refreshing. Well, not so much refreshing.

So, for school, we've gotta do a Power Point Presentaion, and since my class takes forever, I figured I'd make a really good one. I chose to do it on animal cruelty. It's ridiculous the way humans treat animals. I actually cried after seeing some of the images that came up when I did a search. frown

Smoking Beagals? Ugh puke


These cows are actually chained.

frownfrownfrown There's tons more. So next time your house cat is cuddling on your lap, just think about other kitties that are being tortured.

Next time you go shopping, if possible, try to avoid products that test on animals.

COMPANIES THAT DO TEST ON ANIMALS

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are these companies included on the 'Do Test' list?
The following companies manufacture products that ARE tested on animals. Those marked with a t are currently observing a moratorium on (i.e., current suspension of) animal testing. Please encourage them to announce a permanent ban. Listed in parentheses are examples of products manufactured by either the company listed or, if applicable, its parent company. For a complete listing of products manufactured by a company on this list, please visit the company's Web site or contact the company directly for more information. Companies on this list may manufacture individual lines of products without animal testing (e.g., Clairol claims that its Herbal Essences line is not animal-tested). They have not, however, eliminated animal testing from their entire line of cosmetics and household products.

Similarly, companies on this list may make some products, such as pharmaceuticals, that are required by law to be tested on animals. However, the reason for these companies' inclusion on the list is not the animal testing that they conduct that is required by law, but rather the animal testing (of personal care and household products) that is not required by law.

What can be done about animal tests required by law?
Although animal testing of pharmaceuticals and certain chemicals is still mandated by law, the arguments against using animals in cosmetics testing are still valid when applied to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. These industries are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, respectively, and it is the responsibility of the companies that kill animals in order to bring their products to market to convince the regulatory agencies that there is a better way to determine product safety. PETA is actively working on this front by funding development and validation of non-animal test methods and providing input through our involvement on government advisory committees at both the national and international levels. Companies often resist progress and, instead of using human-relevant non-animal tests, choose to use animal tests because their results can be manipulated. Let companies know how you feel about this.
