    Question Animal Testing - does it affect your purchases??

    I will not buy an item that I know has been animal tested....that's what I love most about Aussie hair products!!

    (I'm also an animal rights activist & was once hauled to the pokey for staging a McDonald's sit-in!! )

    Does Animal Testing have any effect on your purchasing??

    Yes, very much so. I just wish I knew more about ALL products. I changed our dog food because of the testing they do at IAMS.

    Here's a good link with a lot of companies that do thest - they also have a link of companies that do not...

    http://www.allforanimals.com/cruel1.htm


    This is the list that I have printed out & tucked in my coupon notebook to refer to when shopping - if in doubt!

    http://www.caringconsumer.com/searchcompany.html


    The last link is the one that PETA recommends....Even though I'm no longer a strict vegetarian, I am still a PETA member & support alternatives to animal testing....

    Nope, don't care. Better to test on animals than people.

    Yes it affets our chioces, if I wouldn't have it done to my own bunny I don't want it to happen to any others!

    The hardest thing has been to find toothpaste that hasn't been tested on animals, I know you can get tom's of maine etc but it's like £3 a tube! We finally found some at our local co-op which is 65p a tube so better for the pocket too.

    just use baking soda....or even salt....I use both & my dentist approves wholeheartedly....they are both abrasive but gentle on your gums....
