robert Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I got this info from someone via myspace: Boycott These Procter & Gamble Products Until They Stop Testing On Animals. Procter & Gamble refuses to stop testing its products on animals, despite the fact that these tests are not required by any law, and despite the fact that more reliable and humane alternatives do exist. Procter & Gamble spends millions of dollars to package itself as a responsible, caring company, and claims to be a leader in the development of alternatives to the use of animals in product testing. But Procter & Gamble refuses to put its money where its mouth is. In 1996 alone, P&G spent $5.1 billion on advertising. This stands in stark contrast to the $64 million that P&G claims to have spent on developing alternatives over a 14-year period! Despite its repeated P.R. claims about being in the forefront of developing alteratives and reducing product testing on animals, P&G's priorities seem clear: in less than 5 days, P&G spends more on advertising than it claims to have spent in 14 years on alternatives to painful and lethal animal tests. The fact is, P&G says one thing and does another. If they truly shared our goal of eliminating animal cruelty, P&G would not have lobbied to defeat a bill before the California legislature that would have banned the infamous Draize eye-irritancy test. In reality, P&G relies on these archaic tests strictly for its own protection from liability lawsuits. The truth is that P&G could stop animal testing today without hindering anyone's safety. Until it stops its animal cruelty, the letters P&G will stand for nothing but Pain & Greed!

Richard Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thanks for that info, I think I knew them all apart from the paper products, which I guess I am not surprised about, but still hadn't really thought about as something which would be tested on animals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispyQ Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thanks for this post, Rob. Good info to have. I've been working hard to get P&G out of my house. It's not easy! Unfortunately, I see a couple of items on this list that I didn't realize were P&G. Grrrrr......I will start looking for alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
