Question
Do you have a source for listing of companies that do or do not test on animals?  I am specifically concerned about cosmetics and household products as I do not want to buy products developed by this method.

thanks, lindy

Answer
Lindy,
First off thank-you for caring about testing!  There is a website where you can actually type in the product name and find out if they test on animals... just go to the following website, then go to the top left of the page and clikc on "Who is and Who Isn't":
http://www.navs.org/testing/testing_main.cfm?SectionID=Testing&source=M3_Overtur...

Here is a website that tells you straight out who tests on animals....:
http://www.arkonline.com/animal_test.html

PS- ALWAYS REMEMBER proctor & gamble ARE TERRIBLE FOR TESTING ON ANIMALS...ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BACK OF A PRODUCT TO SEE IF p&g IS THERE.  pROCTOR AND gAMBLE IS A DISGUSTING COMPANY.
thanks for the Q,
Richelle :)
