Ways to Help Animals in Laboratories

I am in agreement of the comments posted here, and feel that by educating people as to how, to make the deepest impact on this issue is the best possible option, we are the consumers at the end of the day. I would rather spend a few extra pounds on products, etc, that do not use animal testing and learn and share ways of contributing to a massive change in the way we view and treat our animals. Blessings to all things green and beautiful, all creatures great and small.

I recently emailed Proctor & Gamble. I told them how I would not continue to support they're company because of they're cruel animal testing. This was before I found the video of PETA's investigation in the Sinclair Research Center testing on poor dogs that they personally disabled for their experiments. This is the ridiculous email I received back! "Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:40:41 +0000 From: pg_naconsumerrelations@mailnj.custhelp.com Subject: Thank you for contacting P&G. [ ref:00D7JViV.5007GptdM:ref ] Thanks for contacting P&G about our policy on research involving animals, Jessica. P&G has ended animal testing on all our finished consumer products except when required by law. We use non-animal alternatives first. We only use research involving animals when there are no other reasonable options. In our Healthcare business, we're focused on developing innovative medicines that improve people's lives. Current regulatory standards require animal research while developing these medications. It's our policy to use the minimum number of animals necessary while working toward our goal of the reduction and replacement of animals. We continue to identify screening techniques that are acceptable to global regulatory groups to take the place of animal tests in the earliest phase of drug discovery. Through our pet care and nutrition products, we help dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. We feed our foods first to dogs and cats to help us develop nutrition that delivers true health benefits to millions of pets worldwide. We make sure the dogs and cats we work with receive the best care. We treat them as if they're our own pets. They are adopted into loving homes or placed in our retirement facility when their help is no longer needed. At the same time, we're working hard on alternatives to find even better ways of getting these results and eliminating the need for additional research with other animals. We'd rather use alternative test methods. Not only is the use of animals avoided, but reliable alternative tests generally cost less and take less time than animal research. We'd like to be able to eliminate animal research on ingredients in consumer products altogether, and we're making progress. We've invested over $190 million in alternatives, making us an industry leader. We've helped develop over 50 alternative methods and have shared our work in over 300 scientific publications. We're also working with the FDA and respected animal welfare groups, such as the Humane Society of the United States, to work on reforming regulations and validating alternative methods. To learn more about what we're doing to reach our goal, please visit our website: We hope this information is helpful. Terrie P&G Team" To make it short; I responded telling them that if that's how P.G treats their pets them my hearts goes out them! And that animal testing is animal testing and thete's no lightening the situation. I concluded that I know a lot of companies test on animals because the ingredient they use are cheaper hence more toxic, therefore they test to assure the safety of humans. But if smaller companies and even large companies (such as Method) can afford to use safer ingredients(and avoid testing) then surely P&G's larger then life company can surely afford to do the same. They no valid excuse. Along with a more detailed version of the response above I attached this info I found so "Terrie"" could read it ... http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Procter_%26_Gamble I plan on continuing to boycott and contact other companies that still take part in animal testing. I believe if these companies receive enough emails from angry and concerned consumer's it will eventually make an impact. Please contact these cruel corporations and tell them you are boycotting them and why!

STOP ANIMAL ABUSE!!! STOP ANIMAL TESTING!!!! SO MANY PEDOFILS AND CRIMINALS AROUND THE GLOBE - MONSTERS OF THESE PEOPLE IN LABORATORIES SHOULD USE THAM FOR MORE EXACT RESULTS, FOR GOOD OF HUMANITY!!!! FIGHT FOR LIFE!!! BE H U M A N ! ! ! ! <3 LOVE <3 ANIMALS <3

It just needs to be outlawed. No living creature should ever have to go through the hell they put them through. Every living being deserves love and protection.
