Did You Know?
Question: Which personal care, non-pharmaceutical products are required by law to be tested on animals?
Answer: None!
Yes, that's right. There is NO law that requires companies to test their personal care and household products on animals before selling them to consumers!

The National Anti-Vivisection Society is dedicated to abolishing the exploitation of animals used in research, education and product testing.
NAVS promotes greater compassion, respect and justice for animals through educational programs based on respected ethical and scientific theory and supported by extensive documentation of the cruelty and waste of vivisection.
NAVS' educational programs are directed at increasing public awareness about vivisection, identifying humane solutions to human problems, developing alternatives to the use of animals and working with like-minded individuals and groups to effect changes which help to end the suffering inflicted on innocent animals.
On this website, you can type in the name of a product or company that you want to find out if they do animal testing or not. You'll be surprised how many animals have suffered to "supposedly ensure you are receiving "safe" products, which by the way, is rarely the case.
Next time you go into your bathroom, take a look around at the Q-Tips, Dove, Suave Hair Products, Colgate, Caress, Lever 2000, Ponds, Vaseline products, Cover Girl, Sally Hansen, and others that you may have sitting on your shelf. These are only a small handful of the products that have been tested on animals in-humanely.
Then go into your kitchen or laundry room and see if you have some of these products that were tested cruelly on animals; Wisk, Murphy Oil Soap, Dynamo, Fab Products, Ajax, Softsoap Products, Clorox, Melaleuca, Arm and Hammer, etc..
You can access a list of other companies now. Click to go to Caring Consumer's site. They list companies that do and don't do animal testing.
Why Boycott Proctor and Gamble?
P&G are the world's largest consumer products company, with an annual turnover of over $43 billion. Traditionally known for soaps and detergents, they now produce a massive range of products in hair care, cosmetics, perfumes, personal hygiene, laundry products, snack food, paper and feminine hygiene - and even pet food.
They admit that guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, rats and mice are among the animals used in their ‘product safety research’ and cats and dogs are used in experiments for their pet foods. They are very secretive about the nature of the experiments themselves.
Of course P&G realize that the vast majority of people are against animal experiments for cosmetics and household cleaning products, so they try to give the impression that they only test on animals as a last resort. This is untrue. A leaked memo revealed that P&G have been lobbying behind the scenes to stop a ban on animal testing for cosmetics within the EU.
