A blind rabbit and some thoughts.

I'm glad you support PETA. I think that cruelty against animals in one of the worst chapters in human history, a chapter that urgently needs to be closed. I try to help the animals around me who are threatened indirectly by the effects of human misbehavior in nature. I take my hat off to organisations that try to fight against animal cruelty. Sometimes they risk a lot, like being detained or injured. There even is a group that is fed up with what's happening to animals and who take direct action, http://directaction.info/ , I recently read an article about them in democracynow.org . Although there are some activities I won't support (like arson where they may cause damage to what they want to protect) I see and understand why they are doing it.

It would've been better if PETA included a list of those cosmetic companies that are either using animals as their test subjects or had hired private laboratories to do the testing for them. Look at any cosmetic product and none would include that they used animals for testing. Obviously they wouldn't since it would be bad for their business. If there's a list, consumers would know what or what not to buy. And there's a possibility that people would no longer buy cosmetic products because they might assume every company engages in this cruelty to animals.

of course, i am an animal lover even those chicken which is raise in my backyard i could not eat them as i develop closer connection with them when those animals show some adorable traits.to them. even cats, dogs and any animal subject to abuse have no voices. the one who serve as there voices which been unheard fro a long time is human. only like us or me as no one would sympathize with there flight unless every human are sensitive so they may feel pity to the pain the animals suffer from countless laboratory experiment. to think there should be regulation until they get totally banned or stop animals abuse in whatever forms.

Of course on the surface PETA appears to be a wonderful champion for the animal kingdom. Personally, I don't like how they treat people. They spend your money tell people who are over weight they are fat slobs prying on and ingesting innocent pigs and cattle! I spend my donation dollars on those who cannot provide for themselves! One of those is my autistic son. I know exactly where my money is spent and that it provides only goods and services to people that need. Sorry, it's just my opinion.

Hi shibham That's really sad. I have no information about that. I surely didn't know that they are doing this for making product like shampoo... Do you think every such product belongs to such cruelty.. Then its surely too bad and I would surely like to contribute something against this.

I think this news is already know since over 40 years. So not really hot news anymore. It depends on the country where you live how active these labs are, if they coöperate with others and in which way these test be done. BTW also tests are done on human beings, in some cases you get payed for that. Personally I think there will always be cases where you have to test things before you use them. Medication is one of them (frequently tested here on human beings). But this doesn't mean there should be guidelines how to test or how to handle an animal if you don't test on them. This besides of the fact that many animals have a terrible life and are sold as pets after these tests (handicaped for life). For the rest I strongly believe that governments can change a lot too. there is no need for each factory to do each test alone they can coöperate. And if it comes to the consument.. be aware of what you use, there are plenty of things you can buy/use which are not tested on animals at all or no longer tested. The fact it's something new doesn't mean it's better.

This has been going on for so long and it is really sad. I am always really happy when I see on products that they do not test products on animals. What makes it even more unnecessary is when they force feed them detergent. we know ingesting detergent is not good so we must not do it ourselves and keep it out of childrens reach. why make animals ingest it when we know it is bad. Its pretty much common sense that tells us not to ingest it. I dont think we really need to know what will happen to a little animal if it drinks detergent.

I dont deny that i used detergent but i never know that they testing it to animal while for cosmetics i rare to use it cause i read in some articles that they are harm for our skin. I wish that such testing could be stopped

I think that the abuse of animals as the cost of shampoos and cosmetics is a shame. Surely by now there is enough shampoo and such in the world that is known to be safe to people.

shiby, This is really funny. See how people are patronizing those products and shouting animal rights, without knowing that the products there are using killed hundreds of animals for testing purposes (lols)

This is really brutal.. Laboratory should not be tested in animals. They should be tested to theirselves. For the animals has no benefits at all to the products they will be selling in the long run.

It's very sad. They have been testing since many many years, hopefully one day we can really end this. There are many companies that don't test on animals and they have logos and signs of it on their products. You have to look hard, but something we can do to not support this cruelty against animals. Actually, medicines are tested on people, too. It's not easy to live a cruelty-free life. Like palm oil is commonly used in natural products and counts as a healthy ingredient. But I read that rainforests are destroyed and endangered orangutans are killed because more space is needed for palm oil plantations.

This is quite hard. If we look at it using morality, I would say that it is really forbidden. It's a direct and big NO to animal abuse. But if we look at it in a realistic way, it was given a lot of human beings to survive from using products that were first tested on animals. So, I'm really in conflict right now.
