Bad news for animal lovers, Procter and Gamble will now have an excuse to unnecessarily test the side-effects of razorblades and ingested battery acid on small animals, just because they can. An estimated 50,000 animals die at the hands of Procter & Gamble every year.

Procter & Gamble are to aquire Gillette for $57bn

“This deal is going to create the greatest consumer products company in the world,” said Mr Buffet an American investment guru, who is also Gillette’s largest shareholder. “It’s a dream deal.”

Where did they get so much money in the first place? From us. We are the consumers who don’t take the time to check the branding at the back of the box. We can’t be bothered to try other products that haven’t been tested on animals.

Procter & Gamble doesn’t care because the consumer doesn’t care. Its as simple as that.

Although I sometimes feel I’m fighting this battle alone, I will continue to do my bit to boycott P&G. My money will not fund animal torture.

These are P&G products to look out for: Olay, Max Factor, Pringles, Bold, Flash, ACE (bleach), Febreze, Bounce, Downy (fabric softner), Hugo Boss, Daz, Fairy, Tide, Lacoste, Always, TAMPAX, Sunny Delight, Iams/Eukanuba, Head & Shoulders and soon to include Gilette, Venus, Duracell, Oral-B.

Over 500 companies produce like-for-like products which are safe for consumers, that are no longer or have never been tested on animals. (uncaged.co.uk)
