animal testing
the other day, some eye cream got into my eye and i started tearing and thought about poor rabbits used in animal testing for skincare products. so did an internet search on animal testing and here's what i found:
Videos on Animal Testing
You will see that animal testing is cruel and inhumane. And the thing is, it is totally UNNECESSARY!

Besides saving countless animal lives, alternatives to animal tests are efficient and reliable. Unlike crude, archaic animal tests, non-animal methods usually take less time to complete, cost only a fraction of what the animal experiments they replace cost, and are not plagued with species differences that make extrapolation difficult or impossible. Effective, affordable, and humane research methods include studies of human populations, volunteers, and patients, as well as sophisticated in vitro, genomic, and computer-modeling techniques.

colleague pointed out website on loreal's r&d efforts in finding alternative methods to replace animal testing. bravo to loreal's efforts, i say... keep it up and hope it can be taken off the peta black list.
Yeah tt's why i like The Body Shop and other similar shops...no animal testing... plus they help the community!
Hi all,
With the latest news of L'oreal buying up bodyshop, I just wonder will bodyshop also end up on your list?
as long as the line of products from bodyshop are not animal-tested, i see no reason to boycott them, even if loreal buys over the company. i don't care about the business arrangements.
i think the bottomline is that what you buy is a consumer vote on what kind of products you support. if more people choose non-animal-tested products, the retailers and manufacturers will get the signal and move in that direction. so when you choose to buy non-animal-tested products, you are voting for the animals' rights not to be abused for you....
