COMPANIES THAT DO TEST ON ANIMALS
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are these companies included on the 'Do Test' list?
The following companies manufacture products that ARE tested on animals. Thosemarked with a
are currently observing a moratorium (i.e., current suspension of)on animal testing. Please encourage them to announce a permanent ban. Listed in parentheses are examples of products manufactured by either the company listed or,if applicable, its parent company. For a complete listing of products manufactured by a company on this list, please visit the company's Web site or contact thecompany directly for more information. Companies on this list may manufactureindividual lines of products without animal testing (e.g., Clairol claims that itsHerbal Essences line is not animal-tested). They have not, however, eliminatedanimal testing from their entire line of cosmetics and household products.
Similarly, companies on this list may make some products, such as pharmaceuticals,that are required by law to be tested on animals. However, the reason for thesecompanies' inclusion on the list is not the animal testing that they conduct that isrequired by law, but rather the animal testing (of personal-care and householdproducts) that is
not
required by law.
What can be done about animal tests required by law?
Although animal testing of pharmaceuticals and certain chemicals is still mandatedby law, the arguments against using animals in cosmetics testing are still valid whenapplied to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. These industries areregulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental ProtectionAgency, respectively, and it is the responsibility of the companies that kill animalsin order to bring their products to market to convince the regulatory agencies thatthere is a better way to determine product safety. PETA is actively working on thisfront by funding the development and validation of non-animal test methods andproviding input through our involvement on government advisory committees atboth the national and international levels. Companies often resist progress and,instead of using human-relevant non-animal tests, choose to use animal testsbecause their results can be manipulated. Let companies know how you feel aboutthis.
