Please read and sign this petition to help end animal cruelty. We are targeting some of the major companies, but these are just a few of the hundreds who test their products on defenseless animals. http://www.thevegetariansite.com/ethics_test.htm
Every year, between 17 million and 22 million animals are used in laboratory testing. Many of these animals came from shelters, where they had opportunities to be adopted out to loving homes. Not only are rats and mice used in animal testing, but dogs, cats, horses, monkeys, hamsters, rabbits, and many others are subjected to this cruelty, as well.
Animal testing is not only unethical and inaccurate, but is also not required of these companies by law. These tests are not just done topically, but many animals are forced to ingest chemicals, as well. They are forced into restraints, their eyes are burned out with chemicals, skin is cut off, fur is burned, muscles are cut out, large tubes are shoved down their throats and into their nasal cavaties, they are pumped full of different substances and keep in mind, these animals are not given anesthesia or pain killers so they won't feel the effects. They live out their lives in small, metal cages with no other contact except when tested. Many animals have more nerve endings in their bodies than humans do, and those nerve endings are far more sensitive, and so they feel the painful effects of the testing much more than a human would. None of these animals have the exact same anatomy as a human's and therefore, the testing cannot be deemed accurate.
Furthermore, there are plenty of companies that do not find the need to test on animals and still manufacture quality products and are very successful. These are the companies who should be receiving our business, for not only providing us with the goods we need, but being cruelty-free at the same time. http://www.caringconsumer.com/pdfs/companiesDontTest.pdf
Additionally, even the drug industry is on its way to finding alternative methods to animal testing. Medical institutions, such as Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD, are developing programs dedicated to creating such methods. http://caat.jhsph.edu/ Methods such as computer-based testing are rapidly becoming available and do not cost innocent animals, or anyone else for that matter, their lives. Computers can be programmed to recreate the exact anatomy of a human, and again, this would be much more accurate than testing on an animal whose anatomy differs highly from humans.

To Whom It May Concern:
We, the undersigned, believe that the practice of using animals in laboratory testing is unethical, immoral, inaccurate and unnecessary. We are hereby boycotting the purchase of your products and will no longer indirectly fund the cruel testing of animals until your company proves that you no longer subject animals to this form of torture.
As you may be aware, many other companies are very successful without using this form of research and there are alternative methods to test your products that don't require the use of a living creature. We ask you to please consider these alternative methods if you would like to continue receiving our business.
Thank you for your consideration in this very serious matter.
We signed the "Stop Animal Testing - Stop Animal Cruelty!" petition!

People would prefer to use products that did not cause harm to animals. It is inhumane to force an animal in restraints and cause them to endure experiments and ingest chemicals that are not only toxic and painful, but also fatal. Since the products are made for humans, they should be tested on humans that give consent. If these companies can not find a person to give consent to under go the testing of these products that should say something about what is being done to these poor animals. I will never support products that have been tested on animals and I will continue to spread the word to the people. Once more people know that actions that are taking place a big change will occur. Please help make a difference for the better. Stop allowing animals to be tested on.

why should innocent animals have to suffer for no reason other than the fact that the world wants a new hair spray or new product to make them selves feel pretty. It is a very ugly disgusting way of dicovering new things, the taking of innocent lives. Put yourself in their positions, what if that was your child? Think about it, these people are cruel, greedy, selfish, and immoral. Have a heart and sign this petition, it only takes a minute, a minute to save a beautiul life!

Animals are NOT ours to "use" however we like! Testing on them is also pointless, as their bodies are NOTHING like ours! It's obvious they DO feel pain and are just as much living beings are humans are, and what rabbit or monkey wear makeup or puts on hairspray, anyway? Just because they can't tell you, "Stop, I don't want this done to me" does NOT make it any more OK torture them than it is to toture a human who can't speak just because they can't TELL you not to. Animals have the SAME abilties as we do to feel pain, pleasure, joy, fear, and to have a desire to live free from suffering and torment. STOP USING THEM AS MINDLESS OBJECTS FOR YOUR TIME-AND-MONEY-WASTING "RESEARCH"! It is CRUEL and not to mention ARCHAIC.

It is just sad that the people just keep doing it while we really don't need any more new products we are just fine. Animal testing is murder
