Dear IOC Members
We The Undersigned Ask you to drop your partnership with Procter and Gamble on the grounds of their horrific tests performed on live, helpless animals.
As a committee and as well educated humans you all know in your heart of hearts that these tests are wrong and horrifically cruel. and by sponsoring a partnership with a company like P and G you are directly responsible for the funding of yet more cruel tests.
Earlier P&G tests [2] include:
- an acute toxicity test where dogs were force fed large amounts of a cleaning chemical by stomach tube [3]
- cancer and toxicity tests on rats and mice of optical brighteners and other washing power ingredients
- long-term poisoning tests in animals for colouring agents
- 71 mice were repeatedly force-fed a synthetic musk fragrance by tube
THESE TESTS ARE UNNECESSARY IN THIS DAY AND AGE. We have found new alternative means of testing products but Procter and Gamble refuse to implement them. They are the most uncivilized production company of them all.
We the Undersigned will absolutely boycott both the Olympic games and P&G Products for as long as these terrible tests continue.
