Johnson & Johnson is a company that manufacturers popular brands like: Aveeno, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Band-Aid, Listerine, Splenda, and many more.
What you may not realize is Johnson & Johnson also tests their products on animals even when it is not required by law.
Animal testing is a cruel practice that confines animals like monkeys, rabbits, mice, rats, and even cats and dogs in small cages their entire lives. The ingredients used in these products are tested on the animals in a variety of ways including: dripped into eyes, smeared into cuts, injected, and fed to these animals. Animals feel pain, loneliness, and neglect and suffer both physically and mentally from this abuse.
We can make it stop. By signing this petition you are:
- encouraging Johnson & Johnson to become a cruelty-free company that refuses to conduct or commission any animal tests with any of their ingredients, formulations, or finished products
- telling Johnson & Johnson you will not buy any of their products until they stop animal testing
Please spread the word and petition to all friends and family!
Through Caring Consumer's website (
http://www.caringconsumer.com/index.asp), Johnson & Johnson is listed as one of the companies that CHOOSES to test on animals even though it is not required by law and does not necessarily provide products that are safer or healthier for consumers.
The purpose of this petition is to encourage Johnson & Johnson to become a more ethical company, one that chooses not to inflict pain and suffering on animals in testing facilities. Many cruelty-free companies provide safe and effective products without testing on animals, yet your company continues to do so without reasonable cause.
Choosing not to test on animals will save your company money. If it is not required by law and it will save you the cost of testing, why continue to inflict pain?
All animals tested in laboratories feel pain like you or me. To cause the needless suffering or pain of any living creature is irresponsible and wrong.
As long as Johnson & Johnson continues to conduct or commission any animal tests with ingredients, formulations, or finished products, we, the petition signers, will not buy ANY Johnson and Johnson products.
Animal testing, when not required by law, is just that: not required. Please stop.
