to singer Celine Dion, who is touring this fall to promote her "Let's Talk About Love" CD, for allowing Procter & Gamble to sponsor her Canadian shows. No law requires animal testing for cosmetics and household products, yet P&G continues to poison and kill thousands of animals every year. Please urge Ms. Dion to talk about compassion: Ask her to write an open letter to P&G calling for an end to its animal tests or refuse the company's sponsorship. Write c/o Feeling Productions, 2540 Daniel Johnson, Suite 755, Laval, Quebec H7T 2S3, Canada | |

In a letter to the Bremen government, Schumacher wrote: "One must respect life. It can't happen that someone would implant electrodes into the brains of animals and cause them unimaginable suffering." |
