Animals are living beings and feel pain just like humans do. The real testing should be done on humans, companies and researchers need to leave animals alone.

None of their products, not even the ones brought from suppliers are tested on animals,..". did you ever look at the ingredients of their products? They contain preservatives - parabens - which are animal tested! So I suggest you do more research on all the other companies you mentioned before you make up your mind about them.

Yes, it is wrong and animal should not have to suffer. But humans also have to look out for their safety. Would I use a cleaning product, a cosmetic product or a food product if there had been absolutely no testing done? Absolutely not! And to anyone who may come up and say "Well if you had an animal would you test on it?" Of course not, I love my cat. But while animal testing is wrong, it still happens. I'm all for alternatives to it, believe me, but until they have alternatives that are proven to give results that satisfy the FDA and the need for safety and protection for humans AND animals, the best thing we can all do is use products that have the least amount of animal testing and do research on companies that have all-natural and ethical products. It's up to every individual to make their own sound judgement on whether to use a product or not and to do research to see if they would have any moral and ethical dilemmas with that product.
