Sometimes, to ensure that materials are safe and effective, we must conduct research that involves animals. This is a last resort. We consider such research only after every other reasonable option has been exhausted. The vast majority of our tests do not use animals and our ultimate goal is to completely eliminate animal testing.

IMO testing on even one animal is animal cruelty. There are enough human guinea pigs around willing to put themselves at risk for a few bucks. Use them. At least they have made the choice themselves.
Thanks for posting that 14+ .......I had found that as well as these recent ones:

From http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...that_test.html this comment about P & G (who also owns the Iams brand) published March 4/10 ....

Quote:
Procter and Gamble owns Physique and a wide variety of other cosmetics brand. Unfortunately, it is also one of the cosmetic companies that test on animals. Procter and Gamble explains that even though the company has come up with 50 currently used alternatives to animal testing, it still does "apply reduction and refinement methods to improve existing animal-based assays."
From http://animals.change.org/blog/view/...ter_gamble_day published May 7/10 ....

Quote:
In Defense of Animals has been campaigning againt P&G's product testing since 1989. Two decades later, the company continues to perform cruel experiments on animals that are outdated, unnecessary, and not required by law. These include tests where dogs were force fed large amounts of cleaning chemicals and painful, sometimes lethal, skin allergy tests on guinea pigs and mice for a laundry detergent ingredient that has already been proven safe in human trials.
And, Proctor & Gamble is included in this list of companies publised March 5/10 that manufacture products that are tested on animals ....
