I continue to defend that the first measure to be taken to end animal testing would be to remove all animals to a safe place and bomb the labs and facilities (if no one would be inside) where the monsters perform the tests!

Extremist? Maybe! So it is to torture millions of animals and not many seem to care!

yeah i guess they ditched the name proctor and gamble because its synonymous with toxic cruelty… so much for “green” the commercials make it seem like we can take away the damage oil does with a little dish soap.

PS Forgot I wrote this back on the other thread linked above from several months ago. Not to quote myself lol, but always good to remember and good links.

This (testing and cutting up pets) is not to cure cancer folks (which I don’t think is going to happen with animals anyway) but this is for your chemical laden toothpastes and makeup. Do yourself the environment and the ANIMALS a favor and go organic!!

Here’s an awesome list of caring consumer animal test free products.

and not unexpectedly they also tend to rate the best for low to no carcinogens while with many of P&G’s products you might as well just ask for cancer with the stuff you’re rubbing/scrubbing/brushing onto your body.

Hope that helps.

No worries Luke. I think the first time I read it I couldn’t see the end of it either. Good post and thanks for adding the PandGkills link.

Keep up the great stories

[...] the folks at Ecorazzi.com point out that dawn is made by Procter & Gamble which is known for testing on animals, so how [...]

Good point, Adriana. And we can also hope that these celebs might put their two cents in with the company too.

For the record, I’ve added a link to PandGKills.com and removed the WWF. All other content appears as it did originally though.

Thanks again for the feedback, all.

I bet if someone educated Minnie Driver she would reform. I think she’s a genuine, if misinformed, animal advocate.

Don’t forget that a lot of people are swayed by P&G’s work with replacements for animal testing. Their investment in alternatives does not absolve them for their prolific animal testing, but it may have something to do with why animal-loving celebs represent P&G brands despite the apparent conflict of values.

Erin and VeggieTart, thanks for your comments! I’m not sure whether the final two paragraphs of the piece were unclear or perhaps they were missed on the jump from the front page but P&G’s hypocrisy was actually my main angle with this article. Apologies if I was unclear or my structure left more to be desired.

David, thanks also for the info and the comment. Duly noted.

Luke,
You mentioned that Minnie Driver should be appreciated for her support of certain groups and included the World Wildlife Fund. Like, P&G, WWF has supported horrific animal testing. For more info on the Wicked Wildlife Fund, check out http://www.wickedwildlifefund.com

Read it. You’ll NEVER use Crest, Charmin, Dawn or any of them again (I haven’t since high school)
