| Interesting I know this is an evocative subject, but what products do you use, are they only tested by humans? |

| No actually. After I found this I was surprised, to say the least, how many products in my own house are actually tested on animals. Sad really. I'm not vegan or a vegiterian either.

| I also note that glaxo smith Kline are on your list Companies such as these develop the drugs that keep us alive Pennicilin was developed in the early forties as the first antibiotic, it was tested on mice, without these tests undoubtably there would have been tens of thousands of deaths from the battle injuries of the second world war. Would you not take a life saving drug because of how it was developed, what you let your child die of an infection, because it is unethically correct to give it to your child. I admire your views, but I think they are flawed. |

| As a young boy growing up in the 50's, at school I witnessed kids in leg irons who were disabled with poliomyalitis, I saw kids with smallpox, kids had TB. These diseases were rife around the world, the research done on animals, produced the vaccines to combat these killer diseases, as a result, we all now live longer and do not die at young ages. Sorry if I have gone a bit over but I have seen these diseases in my lifetime and do not want to see them again. I never ever want to see a kid crippled who could have had a vaccine again. |

| Hey, that's ok. You have your opinion too! That's what Yorkie Talk is about, I tell you something and you tell me something back and all who read or join the discussion, may come out of it with information and views they didn't have before. It's all good.

| A lot of younger people have never seen these diseases in their lifetime, most kids are vaccinated at a young age these days, it wasn't always like this. It is so easy to forget or not know of these terrible times, I hope people will make good informed decisions of how they look at the world today. On another note, Tuberculosis has reared it's ugly head in the USA again in recent years, anyone can catch these diseases, they are not restricted to the poor. Take good care of yourself. |

| i think you are more talking about life saving medicines, and the OP looks like it's more focused on cosmetics, shampoos, soaps, things that are not life saving medicines. i don't see the need for animal testing on the type of products the OP is talking about, what kind of new cheap chemicals are they trying to add into these type of products that would require them to test it on animals? probably things you dont' want anywhere near your body anyways.
