COMPANIES THAT DO TEST ON ANIMALS
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are these companies included on
the ‘Do Test’ list?
The following companies manufacture
products that ARE tested on animals. Those marked with a ï´ are currently
observing a moratorium on (i.e., current suspension of) animal testing. Please
encourage them to announce a permanent ban. Listed in parentheses are examples
of products manufactured by either the company listed or, if applicable, its
parent company. For a complete listing of products manufactured by a company on
this list, please visit the company’s Web site
or contact it directly for more information.
Companies on this list may manufacture individual lines of products without
animal testing (e.g., Clairol claims that its Herbal Essences
line are not animal tested). They have not, however, eliminated animal testing
from their entire line of cosmetics and household products.
Similarly,
companies on this list may make some products, such as pharmaceuticals, that
are required by law to be tested on animals. However, the reason for these
companies’ inclusion is not the required animal testing that they conduct, but
rather the animal testing of personal care and household products that is not
required by law.
What can be done about animal tests required
by law?
Although animal
testing of pharmaceuticals and certain chemicals is still mandated by law, the
arguments against using animals in cosmetics testing are still valid when
applied to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. These industries are
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection
Agency, respectively, and it is the responsibility of the companies that kill
animals in order to bring their products to market to convince the regulatory
agencies that there is a better way to determine product safety.

w:st="on">PETA is actively working on this front by funding
development and validation of non-animal test methods and providing input
through our involvement on government advisory committees at both the national
and international levels. Companies resist progress because the crude nature of
animal tests allows them to market many products that might be determined to be
too toxic if cell culture tests were used. Let companies know how you feel
about this.
