P&G refuses to stop testing its products on animals despite the existence of more reliable and humane alternatives and the fact that these tests are not required by any law. The real reason the company relies on these outdated tests has nothing to do with consumer safety and everything to do with protecting itself against liability lawsuits. The truth is that P&G could stop animal testing today while actually increasing the safety of its products. The pointless suffering caused by P&G's corporate testing policy even extends to their "pet" food subsidiary, Iams/Eukanuba, which cuts open and kills live cats and dogs for "pet" food research tests not required by law.

As a company with annual revenue in the billions of dollars, P&G spends millions every year packaging itself as a responsible, caring company, and claims to be a leader in the development of alternatives to testing on animals. P&G's victims – the innocent cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets and other animals used as living test tubes – are counting on us to hold the company accountable and end their misery.

What You Can Do:
Please speak up for the animals suffering each day at the hands P&G by taking part in this international day of action against the corporate giant's cruel and needless animal testing on May 20th. Last year, over 100 "Boycott P&G" events took place around the world – from Sydney to London – making it one of the largest days of action of its kind in the world. Activists in dozens of states and countries urged hundreds of thousands of consumers to boycott P&G until the company stops killing animals unnecessarily to test its products. With the help of animal advocates around the world, this year can be even bigger and better.

Please join with other animal advocates by organizing or participating in a protest against P&G in your area. Visit www.pandgkills.com/boycott/globalday_06.html for more information and additional ideas on how you can make a difference.
