I don't know if you saw the previous comment I did on animal testing...I will just requote what I said in the other post, rather than rewrite it.

"I am in veterinary technology school to get my CVT. I am currently enrolled in the Laboratory Animal Class. The early sections we had in our books were in regards to animal testing. I just found your quote interesting...because everything just about has to be tested on animals. Quoting my school book "Companies that sell products to a largely uneducated group of consumers often misuse the term "cruelty-free", and the phrase "we don't test on animals" as a marketing tool. These companies claim that they conduct no animal testing. The reality is that their products are either tested by an outside laboratory, which conducts the animal testing for them (so they can claim their company didn't actually conduct the animal testing- therefore being able to label that they do not test on animals), or are made of compounds known to be safe through previous animal testing." (Clinical Laboratory Animal Medicine... Karen Hrapkiewicz, DVM, MS, DACLAM... Leticia Medina, DVM, DACLAM). I just found this to be shocking. It states that there are laws that REQUIRE all products of certain natures to be tested on animals. So, when shampoo companies, and pharmaceutical companies claim they don't test on animals, they are full of it."

So basically all companies test on animals (I am in the US, though, I don't know if this is different elsewhere)
