Cruelty free beauty

The Issue

.A wake up call to companies who should and could eliminate the needless testing on animals. Animals have as much right to life as human beings. In the U.S. alone, the number of animals tested on each year range between 17-70 million, and the Animal Welfare Act appears to set a minimum requirement for humane treatment in labs and other settings. When locked up, these animals suffer tremendous stress. Can we know they don't feel pain? Experiments on animals can be misleading. We don't know if their response to a drug is the same as that of a human being. These animals are not given anesthesia, as scientists feel it would interfere with test results, which in turn, causes them excrutiating pain, followed by certain death, when the experimentation is over.

Please help me spread the word about these "forgotten" animals..via email, facebook, twitter, etc.  One more day of suffering...is one day too long. Thank you for your support!
