Daily Showering Tip (4/7/05)...

In an effort to combat animal cruelty, please try to use shampoos and conditioners that haven't been tested on animals. Most companies will put a conspicuous label on the bottle that indicates no animals were tested during development of the product. Be advised, however, that while a product may not have been tested on animals, some companies will put another label on the INSIDE of the bottle in 3-point Wingding font that says, "In lieu of using animals as test subjects, we have no other choice but to use human subjects. Therefore, by purchasing this product, you agree to participate in a double-blind, double-secret study to determine whether this product causes any problems with vision, reproduction, liver and colon function, abnormal cell growth, hair loss, hair growth, or skin integrity. You also waive any right to take civil or criminal actions in the event of adverse physical or mental effects resulting from the use of this product. Now do you care if a bunny's eyes get a little irritated? Or if a rat gets a tumor?"
