I try my very hardest not to buy products that have been tested on animals or even products made by companies who test on animals but... I suppose there is a need for animal testing for drug purposes. My daughter did a report on animal testing and there are alternatives and she will argue all day that animal testing is unnecessary even in medicine (and in
some cases she's probably right) but I suspect it's a necessary evil. I hate hearing what they go through though. We do have the power to show non-drug related companies what we think by not supporting them. I have a link to a great list, if anyones interested give me a PM and I'll send it to you.
