I sold AVON for 10 years now and they have not did animal testng while I was a rep. so this list is either very old or very flawed

yorkiepuppie · 08-03-2009, 12:15 PM

actually, it looks like avon was already taken off the list on the updated list, which is the second half of the first post. (it also lists the product as well on that updated list)

coolbar · 08-03-2009, 12:22 PM

Now I am confused, I thought the 2nd half was products made by Proctor and Gamble, although I have never heard of some of them.

Thank you......

Have you checked into each and every one of these companies before posting?

No, that's why I wrote "I'm just sharing information here....." I didn't mean to cause so much "fluff".........

Don't worry, it's all educational.

race2774 · 08-03-2009, 06:33 PM

I am not trying to stir anything up I am just saying the list is either old or wrong.

My sister has boycotted companies that test animals and quit buying products.

I was just saying if your one who does boycott and buys AVON that they do NOT test on animals.

Oh, ok then. Thanks for the update.

Sorry again everyone, I shouldn't be posting things I'm not 100% sure about....

I kinda just came across this link and posted it thinking it would give people a different perspective on some highly respected manufacturers. I didn't really think about what I was potentially inducing.

Like I said before, I eat meat and I buy loads of things for my house without reading labels or looking for "cruelty free" stamps but the idea is that if I'm making a choice between say, 2 shampoo's, one is cruelty free and the other does all that testing, than maybe I'll choose the first choice, the better choice.

That's all.

(((((HUGS)))))) don't worry you did nothing wrong. If I sounded snippy I wasn't trying to be.

the sad part about it is some companies do test on animals.

DooiesMom · 08-04-2009, 08:02 AM

No no..... No one has upset me at all, (I do love hugs though

) I just don't want to upset anybody. That's all......

We're all good people I think. No need to get upset with eachother, right?

Keep up the Yorkie Talk all.... No hard feelings......

Cruelty Free Shopping Guide: animal testing: companies and products to support/avoid

Natalie. Thanks for posting this. I know that this is controversial but I thank you for posting. Where it is an individual choice I try to use products that are not animal tested. One product I found (Cosmetically) is MAC. MAC is also supports the AIDS Foundation and it practices recycling. For every six empty MAC containers you return you are able to pick out one free lipstick. None of their productsn are animal tested either. I've used their make up for about a month now and really love it. Thought I'd share in case anyone was looking for some new make up. Elaine

Aveda is another one I use and love (and they don't test). I have used their Dual Powder for like 15 years and cannot ever find another one I like better (I've tried to find something cheaper

)...and Aveda is extremely environmentally conscious too, w/ their packaging

No need to apologize, you did nothing wrong. There is always a lot of passionate discussion here, and I thank you for contributing to it.

Looked over the list and read the replies and really don't understand all the confusion.

A few general opinions/observations.

I don't condone animal testing when it can be avoided (for cosmetic items) Admitedly, I know very little about why any such test would be deemed neccessary. Could be a valid reason, but I doubt it.

I do, however, feel completely different in regards to animals being used to test medical procedures and medications.

I *think* in regards to all the mentions of libel/slander, no, it's not libel if it is true. It was stated by a few that what was posted was fact. So I guess the determining factor would be, IS IT actually fact? I think that was all coolbar meant when she posted her warning.
