Thanks Chrissy my good friend, so nice to see you again. This is noted, as I am an animal lover, animal testing is a big NO NO! Stop all animal testing, they are live, use simulated TV or something...
also, TY Charles 4 the forward.
Please take care Chrissy...

Blessings to us all in the Universe...

When my sister went to RN school eons ago they used dead cats.
I didn't speak to her for about a year.
