Procter & Gamble (P&G) are the world’s largest consumer products company, with an annual turnover of over $68 billion. Their international headquarters is in the US city of Cincinnati, and are a company that produce well known brands that are used every day, however the products are tested on animals resulting in several thousand deaths a year.
P&G admit that guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, rats and mice are among the animals used in their ‘product safety research’, as well as cats and dogs in pet food experiments. Activists investigations continue to reveal disturbing examples of P&G’s ongoing involvement in painful and lethal animal tests.
Traditionally known for their soaps and detergents, P&G now produce a massive range of products in hair care, cosmetics, perfumes, personal hygiene, laundry care, snack food, paper and feminine hygiene, and even pet food. P&G’s brands include Ariel, Daz, Fairy, Max Factor, Olay, Pantene Pro-V, Herbal Essences, and Head and Shoulders. A complete list would include hundred of items, but it is relatively straight forward to look at product labels. Please show your support by not using these products and rid the world of animal testing!
