Thank you Bonita - I think any product using animal testing should have to declare it - in fact pharmiceuticals etc should have to clearly state the source of the product as well eg Premarin

Noted. I agree, that anyone testing on animals should have to show it. BIG writing so all can see. To make a law that it happens. Big fines if it doesn't. Now days when I go to a supermarket & see people pick up M&M's. I say to them, 'Did you know they test on animals to do those & then kill them' The shocked look on their face & THEY PUT THEM BACK. I love it. Yes.

Noted. Thank you so much Bonita, for the title itself speaks the TRUTH.

I used to get fed up of reading ingredients list of ANYTHING I buy, absolutely anything, but I got used to it a long time ago and now I do it on auto pilot, whether it's cosmetics, food, or whatever. I always try to be aware of which are the cruel companies and sub companies, and do not buy their stuff (ie, I will not buy Braun products, or Duracell etc, as all these makes belong to the evil Procter and Gamble). It's hard sometimes to buy when you boycott many different companies, but you get used to it and it becomes second nature.
