I find it hard to believe that animal testing is the only kind of product testing the FDA accepts. If this is the case, how are so many companies getting away with not testing on animals and not using any ingredients that have (recently) been tested on animals?

I believe that the only reason that animal testing of cosmetics and household products continues is because the vast majority of consumers are clueless about it. After all, only months ago I was blissfully ignorant of animal testing. Naturally, I was appalled when I found out, as I think most people would be. I think it is crucial that consumers are informed about animal testing, which is why I signed the “TESTED ON ANIMALS” petition. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/make-companies-that-test-on-animals-indicate-it-in-their-logos

Would you torture your cat for shinier hair or clearer skin? Probably not, but this is basically what you are inadvertently doing when you condone animal testing. It is just a different cat (or dog, rabbit, hamster, rat, etc.) and someone else is doing the torturing for you.

What a sick sick world we are living in where people justify cruelty and torture for the sake of vanity!

When was this organization brought together, who’s the leader?
What are some major reason that brought you all to believe animal testing is wrong?
What is your organizations doing to stop animal testing?
What steps do you think we as a society and the government should take to making animal testing illegal nationwide?
What should we do to replace animal testing?
What do you think will be the results?

Ok, I lied, I use something for sure. I wash my face with water and use safe things like olive oil for my skin. That sure is not tested on animals, and does not include chemicals that might be bad for my health. Simple as that. I should also mention that my skin looks way more better the less I fuzz about it. I don’t feel the need anymore to use make up because my skin looks so much better nowadays.

We all know how ugly the cosmetics industry is, it is misleading and also takes advantage of women who have a bad self esteem, stop feeding the cosmetics monster! Don’t buy their products, and if you have to, buy only safe CERTIFIED non animals tested products. Thank you.
