Since the blog is also dedicated to helping animals! Please do not use Proctor & Gamble products until they do not torture animals!!!!!
(NaturalNews)
Procter & Gamble (P&G), the corporate conglomerate which recently
bought out organic supplement and vitamin company New Chapter www.naturalnews.com, has a long and extensive history of engaging in
cruel animal testing on its portfolio of products. And according to at least
two animal activist sites, P&G has essentially been lying for years about
making efforts to switch to cruelty-free testing alternatives.
According
to the website www.PandGKills.com, which is owned and operated by the group In
Defense of Animals, P&G continues to torture rabbits, dogs, hamsters,
guinea pigs, and other creatures by conducting experiments on them that include
poisoning them with toxins, burning their eyes with chemicals, and eventually
killing them. And the U.K. website Uncaged says that on top of these and many
other extreme testing protocols, P&G does not even provide basic care for
these animals while they are still alive.
"Laboratory
workers place the animals in restraining devices so they cannot struggle while
the workers apply the chemicals, which burn into the animals' eyes and
skin," says P&GKills.com. "P&G 'scientists' do not sedate the
animals or give them painkillers. Animals sometimes break their necks or backs
attempting to escape the pain. Those that survive are used in yet additional
painful tests ... until they are finally killed."
According
to Uncaged P&G's animal torture protocols have also included forcing hamsters
to inhale large amounts of "nano-sized" particles; forcing mice to
consume synthetic musk and other fragrances; and even forcing dogs to eat large
amounts of a cleaning chemical by pumping it directly into their stomachs.
"It's
hard to think of anything more vicious than poisoning and killing animals for
the sake of tinkering with cosmetics and washing power formulas," writes
Uncaged. "P&G are responsible for relentless cruelty at its most
calculating."
There is
absolutely no reason, of course, for P&G to continue abusing, torturing,
and killing animals as part of its product testing protocols. And yet the
company continues to do it, perhaps simply because it is convenient and
represents the way in which the company has always tested its products.
Even so,
there are other ways to test products that do not involve torturing animals,
many of which are far less expensive in the long run. And if P&G really
wanted to end animal testing cruelty, it could simply switch to chemical-free,
natural products instead of the petroleum derivative-laced synthetic products
it currently sells.
Some
major P&G-owned brands include Cover Girl, Crest, Old Spice, Scope, Downy,
Pampers, Duracell, Tide, and now New Chapter. You can find a list of all
