Activists in Newcastle
Saturday 16th May marked Global Boycott P&G Day #13! Armed with banners, placards, leaflets and a lot of knowledge of what goes on behind closed doors at P&G’s labs, activists were out in force on the streets of Newcastle today.
P&G admit that guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, rats and mice are among the animals used in their ‘product safety research’, as well as cats and dogs in pet food experiments. Uncaged’s investigations continue to reveal disturbing examples of P&G’s ongoing involvement in painful and lethal animal tests.
Money is the only language P&G understand. Ultimately, by boycotting P&G, you hold the key to saving the many thousands of animals who suffer and die every year in cruel and unnecessary tests conducted by this company.
Thanks to the campaigners who continue to boycott and expose cruelty all over the World. We hope the actions globally were as successful and positive as the ones in the north this afternoon. We had a lot of positive response from the public who were shocked that any company would still test cosmetics, toiletries, household products, etc. on animals. Others also asked for information on animal testing for pharmaceuticals (drugs) and were directed to the info provided by the Safer Medicines Campaign (formerly Europeans for Medical Progress).
All in all, a great day… and the Naturewatch “Compassionate Shopping Guides” are going down really well too. Next to come: our leaflet (a slightly condensed version with the basics in it… comments appreciated when we first give it out!)
Visual and eye-catching...
