Testing…One, Two, Three.

Do we really need animal testing? Particularly for cosmetics? This video from PETA is graphic, but it reminds me why I started this blog. If you’re sensitive, please watch it when you’re alone – it made me cry quite a bit. It’s okay to be shocked or sad – that’s what makes us take action. That’s why we should pledge to only buy cruelty-free beauty products.

Animal Testing for Pet Food?

chiefbunny — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:16:28 +0000

Did you know that a lot of pet food is tested on animals? And, I don’t mean taste-tested, as in, “Here doggie, try these two samples of dog chow and let me know what you think.”

No – I mean, the food is fed to the animals and then the researchers cut them up to see what it does to their insides.

I was very disturbed when I heard this. Now, I will be the first to admit that PETA often sensationalizes things and makes us animal-lovers look crazy. But, the bottom line is that this testing is going on, and there’s no reason to support it.

The main target for PETA has been IAMS, which is a Procter & Gamble company. Procter & Gamble is one of the largest companies to conduct animal testing on many of their beauty and consumer products – so why support them anyway?

Here is the rebuttal from IAMS. I see that they are claiming to not have killed dogs or cats for years – but how many years? Were they killing them before? And what about other animals?

They also make it clear that they ARE doing muscle and skin biopsies on dogs and cats, which I believe are completely unnecessary.

PETA has free pocket guides to help you find a cruelty-free pet food brand. Check out PETA’s site for more info.
