Companies That Test On Animals....

As promised, here is a list of companies that are known to test their products on animals. I can’t say that this is a complete list so if you’re concerned about a company that you don’t see listed here you can always send them an inquiry email. There are a lot of companies on this list, more then I was aware of. It saddens me greatly to look around and realize that I own some of the products made by these companies. Some products I thought were better alternatives turned out to be just as bad if not worse, but how are we to know when animal-testing isn’t an issue that gets much if any media attention these days? These companies are rich, powerful and popular and flood the market with their endless array of cruel products, all the while leading us to believe that they are a happy, responsible, and superior alterative. It seems there isn’t a grocery or department store around that doesn’t sell products from at least a dozen (it not more) of the companies listed here. However cruelty-free alternatives do exist, and I strongly urge you to seek them out, and boycott these companies until they move away from the archaic methods of animal testing. There is absolutely no reason why cleaning products and makeup need to continually be tested on animals. If there are companies out there who have found a way to create good, superior, reliable products without testing them on animals then these companies should be able to do so as well. The fact that they don’t just shows how ignorant, irresponsible, and uncaring they really are. I know that I do not want to be part of such a horrendous practice, I don’t want my money to support the cruel and atrocious practice of animal-testing, and so I’m quickly switching over all of my products. I hope you will do the same.

P.S. Since this list is so long, I’ll post a separate list of companies that don’t test on animals. Hopefully I’ll put that up either tomorrow, or Monday, so keep an eye out for it. Also if you’re interested in finding out more you can check out http://www.peta.org/ or simply Google "Companies that test on animals" and a bunch of different animal-welfare sites should pop up with detailed information.
