Who tests on Animals

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. Those
marked with a ? are currently observing a moratorium on (i.e., current suspension
of) 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 the
company directly for more information. Companies on this list may manufacture
individual lines of products without animal testing (e.g., Clairol claims that its
Herbal Essences line is not animal-tested). They have not, however, eliminated
animal 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 these companies' inclusion on the list is not the animal testing that they
conduct that is required by law, but rather the animal testing (of personal care and
household products) 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 mandated
by law, the arguments against using animals in cosmetics testing are still valid
when applied to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. These industries are
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection
Agency, respectively, and it is the responsibility of the companies that kill animals
in order to bring their products to market to convince the regulatory agencies that
there is a better way to determine product safety. PETA is actively working on this
front by funding development and validation of non-animal test methods and
providing input through our involvement on government advisory committees at
both the national and international levels. Companies resist progress because the
crude nature of animal tests allows them to market many products that might be
determined to be too toxic if cell culture tests were used. Let companies know how
you feel about this.
