On July 17, 2000, from 10:00-2:00 at Fountain Square, in
Cincinnati Ohio, teenagers will be taking a stand for what they believe
is right. Many teenagers will be conducting a protest against Procter
and Gamble's animal testing.
This protest calls for Procter and Gamble to end its
animal testing. Procter and Gamble continues to test on animals, even
though no law requires it. Also there are more than 550 other companies
that do not test on animals.
If corporations as big as Gillette and Revlon can ensure
their customers safety by using non-animal tests, why can't Procter and
Gamble?
Proctor & Gamble has blinded and poisoned thousands of
animals, including mice, rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. During such
tests, laboratory workers drip chemicals into the eyes of restrained
rabbits, force substances down the animals' throats and fill their cages
with toxic fumes. No surprise that such poisoning can cause convulsions,
vomiting, bleeding from the nose and mouth and painful deaths. The
animals are often locked into restraining devices so they cannot escape
the pain; they do not get sedatives or post-exposure painkillers. Some
animals used in such tests have broken their necks or backs trying to
escape.
Love All Animals is calling for all people wanting to
come to the protest to contact Ryan at <[email protected]>
Also another local group will be attending. And many
members from other national groups will also be helping out.
