"It is totally unconscionable to subject defenseless
animals to mutilation and death, just so a company can
be the first to market a new shade of nail polish or a
new, improved laundry detergent .... It's cruel, it's
brutal, it's inhumane, and most people don't want it."
--Abigail "Dear Abby" Van Buren
(testifying before the House Judiciary
Committee in support of the Consumer
Products Safe Testing Act, March 1988)
