1. During school you can educate others by doing
research projects. Writing
papers on the cruelty free is a great way to helping make this a more
compass-
ionate world to live in, and help educate others. If this sounds like
anything you
would like more information on, please e-mail [email protected] for
additional
information.
2. Is there a animal rights organization in your area?
Ask your local group if you
can assist them in planning a demonstration outside the closest P & G
Facility or
in front of a local department store that continues to carry P & G
products.
3. Could you start a youth group. Most people love
animals, maybe a few of your
friends could focus on your community and how you can help educate
others on
cruelty free products, and contact local stores, media, etc and educate
them on
the horrors of animal testing. You can contact IDA for literature and
brochures on
P & G's animal testing, and include this in your presentation or local
protest letters.
4. Boycott all Proctor & Gamble products. This is easy
and very effective consid-
ering that profits come first for them. Taking away their profits will
force them to
listen, so use your purchasing power! Every time you buy a product, you
send a
message to that company. Make your message loud and clear --- that you
will
only buy products that are cruelty-free. If enough people do this we'll
see only
cruelty-free products in the future, and that means less suffering for
animals. For
a list of cruelty-free companies, visit IDA's website at http://www.idausa.org
and
follow the directions to the Proctor & Gamble Campaign.
5. Use the power of the pen! Write to companies that
still test their products on
animals and let them know that you won't buy their products until they
stop. Inform
family & friends of the torturing of animals in Proctor & Gamble's labs.
Ask them
to join in the boycott and convince them to write letters of their own.
Write to your
Senators and Representatives urging them to support animal protection
legislation.
6. Spread the word! It's as easy as wearing a button on
your shirt. You can raise
the awareness of hundreds of people.
7. Arrange to have a speaker knowledgeable about animal
protection talk at your
library or club.
8. You can join In Defense of Animals (IDA). It is group
of people who are against
animal testing. For a small fee to join (which is used as a donation and
is tax
deductable) you will receive a monthly bulletin and other interesting
literature.
By joining IDA you will assist them in the fight against
Procter & Gamble, support
their on-going campaigns and most of all help make this a better world
for the
animals.

9. Call Proctor & Gamble's toll free line at
1-800-543-0485. Keep talking as long
as you can because they have to pay for the call! The longer you keep
them on
the line the more money they lose. Call while passing a pay phone. Be
creative!
