The following companies still test their products on animals. The list of these companies can be found at http://www.thevegetariansite.com/ethics_test.htm and is also listed below.
I'm asking that those of you out there who are against this sort of testing to boycott these products and/or write the companies. Also, spread the word to your friends and family. Ask them not to buy from these companies. Help me in this cause. Help the animals.

I want to say I agree. :yes: It's wrong to take away an innocent animal's life when there are better ways to know if a product is safe.


I do want to point out on the list: Huggies? and Oscar de la Renta? *has a ridiculous picture of a lab mouse with diapers and designer clothes on* :teehee:

There is also lists on companies who do testing and don't do testing on the PETA website. You have to download it though.

Not to sound harsh, but would you rather test on humans? An animal is expendable, you can breed another. You can't do that with humans in the same way. And I for one, don't care if a few mice/rats/hamsters/guinea pigs/ the odd cow die for the betterment of humanity. Pastuer, anyone?

While I do agree that is a product such as diapers is so unsafe it must be animal tested, it should be boycotted, I am an avid angler and hunter, who eats the game he kills, and thus heartily dislikes PETA.

If humans want to better eyemakeup and lipstick, then they should bloody well test it on themselves and suffer the consequences.

We're not on about bettering people's lives here but their stupid vanity. Granted, I am not familiar with all the products on their list, but I gather most of them are cosmetics.

To say animals are expendable because you can breed another, is so not the point, I'm struggling to figure out how to type all I want to say without getting kicked off the forum.

So I should probably leave before this turns into an argument - which it would do because I'm involved and I actually care about animals - which wouldn't be fair to Eowyn (who I totally commend for bringing this up).

And I agree with PETA on almost everything.

I agree that NO ONE should test their products on animals, and I am glad that someone had brought up the subject, but I am thinking that either this list is over-kill, or it's faulty. I mean things like.... Drano? Lysol? S.C. Johnson? Kleenex? Post-It? Those brands have nothing to do with animals or humans - why on earth would they be tested on animals? If they were looking for some dangerous chemical in their stuff, it seems like it would be easier -in every sense of the word- just to use a lab, rather that testing it on an animal.

^ Well I don't fully understand it either, but some tissues for example, have a scent that is meant to sooth the skin. So that is something that could be tested on mice to see if they have a reaction.

Post-its also have some sort of sticky substance so that is something else that could be tested to see if there is a reaction.

Basically, who knows what parts of products are tested on animals?
