More and more people are catching on to the fact that the larger companies out there, whether food companies, manufacturers of household products or clothing, cosmetic companies, etc., etc., involve either using animal products and/or test on animals to produce their final product.
I am bemused, but not surprised, that in the case of women's cosmetics for example, the very women who would be moved to tears at the sight of an injured or tortured animal routinely apply substances to their bodies that are the direct result of horrific and brutal testing upon defenseless animals.
I am not surprised, because the companies involved have done a really good job of making sure we are unaware of their practices. When asked point blank if they indulge in such testing they usually give the same pat gobbley-gook answer that they are required by law to carry out such testing, thereby passing the blame onto some higher authority ("I'm just following orders....").
The truth is, which is being proved every day (by companies that do not use such methods), that such practices are not necessary, most of them completely unecessary and that these products can be provided without harming one hair on an animal's head.
The real reasons these companies continue to carry out their testing are:
- It is cheaper to use animals to test on
- They don't want to go to the trouble or expense to utilize alternative testing methods
- They are more concerned about their bottom line
- They couldn't care less about animal torture
How do they sleep at night? Probably very well as they are making enough money and besides, only someone with a conscience can be kept awake at night.
