Animal Testing - As consumers, you can help to reduce cruel tests on animals
As you read this, hundreds of mice, rats, cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, monkeys, and other animals are dying in
cruel and unnecessary medical and product-testing experiments. In fact, 219 animals are killed every minute in a U.S. lab. They die in pain, alone, without a gentle touch or a soothing voice. Animal studies teach us nothing about the health of humans because animals of different species absorb, metabolize, and eliminate substances differently than humans do. The truth is that testing on animals is bad science: It is unreliable and unnecessary.
New shampoo formulas, lotion, anti-ageing cream and new cosmetics only add on to unnecessary and excruciating pain for the animals that are being tested for the economic gain of the corporations that produce them. You can keep the pressure on those responsible for these cruel tests by signing the pledge HERE and joining the thousands of caring consumers who refuse to purchase products from corporations that abuse animals. As a caring consumer, please buy products that are cruelty-free, and have not been tested on animals.
