Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What Types of Companies Are on the "Don't Test" List? This list includes companies that make cosmetics, personal-care products, household-cleaning products, and other common household products. All companies that are included on PETA's "don't test" list have signed our statement of assurance verifying that they and their ingredient suppliers don't conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and will not do so in the future. We encourage consumers to support the companies on this list, since we know that they're committed to making products without harming animals. Companies on the "Do Test" list should be shunned until they implement a policy that prohibits animal testing. The "do test" list doesn't include companies that manufacture only products that are required by law to be tested on animals (e.g., pharmaceuticals and garden chemicals). Although PETA is opposed to all animal testing, our focus in those instances is less on the individual companies and more on the regulatory agencies that require animal testing. How Does a Company Get on PETA's Global Animal Test–Free List? In order to be listed as animal test–free by PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies program, a company or brand must submit a legally binding statement of assurance signed by its CEO verifying that it and its ingredient suppliers don't conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and won't do so in the future. Companies applying to the program must also submit detailed paperwork that describes how the companies test their products, where they are sold, what kinds of products they offer, and what kinds of ingredients they use. We also require all companies to have agreements in place with their suppliers that no animal testing is done at any stage on any of the ingredients or raw materials that they supply to the company for its products. For more information or to request the necessary paperwork, please e-mail [email protected]. How Does a Company License PETA's Animal Test–Free Logo? Once a company's CEO signs PETA's statement of assurance that it doesn't test on animals, it will be able to license a Global Beauty Without Bunnies logo for use on product labels and promotional materials. Licensing the logo is optional, and it helps consumers identify animal test–free products at a glance while shopping. For a one-time licensing fee of $350, our logo may be used on companies' products, literature, in-store displays, and websites. To meet individual design needs, the logo may be used in any color combination or in black and white. For companies that sell an entirely vegan product line, a version that reads, "Animal Test–Free and Vegan," is also available. For more information or to request the necessary paperwork, please e-mail [email protected]. How Do I Know That These Companies Really Don't Test on Animals? PETA has a dedicated team of scientists, regulatory specialists, and lawyers working together to end the use of tests on animals worldwide. We work directly with companies' CEOs, management teams, research and development specialists, and global sustainability officers to ensure that all the information that we receive is 100% accurate and complete, from the top down. We require that the statement of assurances be signed by the company's CEO, and the statement is a legally binding document, not just a mere promise that the company won't test on animals or a form response from a customer service Last Updated 10-01-2021 Page 1 representative. Companies are putting their integrity on the line when they share their policies and respond to consumer inquires. A company that has publicly announced an end to tests on animals would face a public relations disaster and potential lawsuits if it were caught lying. Can I Trust a Product Label That Says, 'No Animal Testing'? Labels can be deceptive, so be careful! No specific laws exist regarding "cruelty-free" or "no animal testing" labeling of products, and companies may not have the same high standards as PETA when labeling their products. Our requirements include ingredients, ingredient suppliers, formulations, and finished products. A company that claims not to test on animals but that doesn't appear on our list may have eliminated tests on animals for finished products but not for ingredients. If you communicate with a company that claims not to test on animals but isn't on our list, please ask for a statement in writing and send a copy of it to [email protected]. We'll contact the company to see whether it meets our animal test–free criteria. Meanwhile, we recommend purchasing only products made by companies on our "Don't Test" list. What if a Company Isn't on Either of PETA's Lists? If a company you're searching for isn't on either of PETA's lists, we probably don't have information on its testing policies. A company may claim that it doesn't test on animals, but if it hasn't signed our statement of assurance, it won't be listed here. Contact your favorite companies and ask them to join our list! If you represent a company that doesn't test on animals and would like to be listed in the database, please contact [email protected] to request the application materials to join our program. Why Do Some Companies' Product Labels Say, 'No Animal Ingredients,' When, in Fact, the Products Contain Beeswax, Lanolin, Whey, etc.? Thankfully, by now, most companies know that a vegan product is one that doesn't contain any animal-derived ingredients. Watch out for these ingredients and others that hurt animals: Beeswax Carmine Honey Lanolin If you see ingredients that may or may not be vegan, depending on the source, ask the company about it. To be completely safe, use companies that are PETA-approved cruelty-free—they don't test on animals and use only vegan ingredients. How Often Are PETA's Animal Test–Free Product Lists Updated? PETA's online "Do Test" and "Don't Test" lists are updated daily as new companies are added (e.g., if we're informed of a new company's policy prohibiting animal testing), deleted (e.g., if a company changes its policy or goes out of business), or change their contact information. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Legend V - The company makes or sells strictly vegan products.

  • Consideration of Alternatives to the Use of Live Animals for Research and Teaching
    Division of Laboratory Animal Resources Consideration of Alternatives to the Use of Live Animals For Research and Teaching From the ETSU Animal Study Protocol form: The search for alternatives refers to the three Rs described in the book, The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique (1959) by Russell and Burch. The 3Rs are reduction in the number of animals used, refinement of techniques and procedures to reduce pain or distress, and replacement of animals with non-animal techniques or use of less-sentient species. Refinement: The use of analgesics and analgesia, the use of remote telemetry to increase the quality and quantity of data gathered, and humane endpoints for the animals are examples of refinements. Reduction: The use of shared control groups, preliminary screening in non-animal systems, innovative statistical packages or a consultation with a statistician are examples of reduction alternatives. Replacement: Alternatives such as in vitro, cell culture, tissue culture, models, simulations, etc. are examples of replacement. This is also where you might look for any non-mammalian animal models—fish or invertebrates, for example—that would still give you the data you need. The AWIC (Animal Welfare Information Center) recommends alternative searches be performed in 2 phases. Phase 1 considers reduction and refinement and the recommendation is NOT to use the word "alternative" unless the particular area of research happens to be an area in which there has been considerable work in developing alternatives (e.g. Toxicology and education). This phase should get after no unnecessary duplication, appropriate animal numbers, the best pain-relieving agents and other methods that may serve to minimize or limit pain and distress.

  • Cruelty Free International
    Cruelty Free International Sector: Household and Personal Care Region: Based in the United Kingdom, operates globally Cruelty Free International certifies brands producing cosmetics, personal care, household and cleaning products that do all they can to remove animal testing from their supply chains ('cruelty- free') and comply with the Leaping Bunny certification criteria. Cruelty Free International’s sustainability claim is the Leaping Bunny logo on products, which aims to allow shoppers to make more informed choices. Cruelty Free International and its partners have, so far, certified over 1000 brands around the world. Mindset Life Cycle Thinking: The claim focuses on the product manufacturing stage (i.e. the relevant phase where animal testing would occur). A supplier monitoring system must be implemented to monitor the claim, to ensure that the brand has not carried out, commissioned or been party to experiments on animals during the manufacturing of a product throughout its supply chain (including its raw materials and ingredients), whilst an independent and rigorous audit is conducted within the first 12 months of certification, and then every three years. Hotspots Analysis Approach: As a single-issue certification scheme, Cruelty Free International does not aim to assess all relevant impacts of the products it certifies and has therefore not undertaken a hotspots analysis. Cruelty Free International focuses on monitoring and enforcing high cruelty free standards throughout a brand’s manufacturing of a product. Mainstreaming Sustainability: Cruelty Free International encourages certified brands to apply the cruelty free logic to other products in their portfolio. Partnerships with ethical and cruelty free brands are also designed to support a brand's external sustainability and advocacy strategies and internal objectives.

  • The Ethical Implications for Humans in Light of the Poor Predictive Value of Animal Models
    International Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2014, 5, 966-1005 Published Online August 2014 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijcm http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijcm.2014.516129 The Ethical Implications for Humans in Light of the Poor Predictive Value of Animal Models Ray Greek Americans For Medical Advancement, Goleta, USA Email: [email protected] Received 11 June 2014; revised 10 July 2014; accepted 9 August 2014 Copyright © 2014 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The notion that animals could be used as predictive models in science has been influenced by rel- atively recent developments in the fields of complexity science, evolutionary and developmental biology, genetics, and evolutionary biology in general. Combined with empirical evidence, which has led scientists in drug development to acknowledge that a new, nonanimal model is needed, a theory—not a hypothesis—has been formed to explain why animals function well as models for humans at lower levels of organization but are unable to predict outcomes at higher levels of or- ganization. Trans-Species Modeling Theory (TSMT) places the empirical evidence in the context of a scientific theory and thus, from a scientific perspective, the issue of where animals can and can- not be used in science has arguably been settled. Yet, some in various areas of science or science- related fields continue to demand that more evidence be offered before the use of animal models in medical research and testing be abandoned on scientific grounds.
