Our Commitment to #BeCrueltyFree

We are calling for an end to all animal testing of cosmetic products globally, and we're proud to partner with Humane Society International's #BeCrueltyFree Campaign to advance that vision.

Our support of #BeCrueltyFree is another step in our long-term commitment to make animal testing obsolete. Our journey began over 40 years ago through ongoing research, investment and partnerships to develop and promote the use of alternatives to animal testing. These efforts have contributed to the greater good, enabling us and others to develop products that have not been tested on animals. Our contributions include:

Investing more than $470 million over 40 years in alternatives to animal testing, our researchers pioneering over 25 non-animal methods, publishing more than 1,000 scientific articles.

Partnering with leading international animal welfare organizations, academia, and industry coalitions to promote use of non-animal, cruelty-free methods around the world.

Advocating for public use of non-animal methods and adoption by scientists and policy makers around the world for over 25 years.

Testimonials

Using our Science for Good

P&G has invested in non-animal test method development for decades, and is also a founding sponsor and has been a leading presenter at every World Congress on non-animal test methods to date- involving thousands of scientists, regulators, and policy makers. We continue to partner with leading international animal welfare organizations, academia, industry coalitions and policy makers to promote alternatives to animal testing and gain their regulatory acceptance. Together, we have achieved a lot. We stopped animal testing our cosmetics products many years ago. In fact, P&G no longer animal tests any consumer product unless required by law and we are committed to make animal testing obsolete.

Specific contributions toward eliminating animal testing

Pioneering the Elimination of Eye Testing
P&G helped pioneer eye testing without the use of animals by using cell culture tests and reconstructed human tissue. A cornerstone of our work in this area has been to lead key international programs and industry activities, all with the aim to optimize these non-animal tests, extend their application to all types of ingredients, and to secure regulatory acceptance. These efforts contribute to the greater good, enabling P&G and all of industry to develop cruelty-free, safe products.

Inventing the first non-animal alternative to skin allergy testing

P&G scientists invented one of the first non-animal alternative methods for skin allergy testing, which was recently approved by key authorities. This method marks a milestone in eliminating the need for animal testing. Leading P&G scientists were recognized by 3rd parties and leading animal welfare groups for this breakthrough innovation.

I’m afraid of you,
The man in the white coat,
One needle maybe two,
And a cut throat.

I have blood in my fur,
As I’m locked in a rage,
I’m dizzy and my sights a blur,
Inside me I feel deep rage,

You reflect in my eyes,
As you record the effect,
You say it’s for good that’s all lies,
And now my life is wrecked.

Some facts and history about animal experimentation 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ancient and Medieval Times

Ever since ancient times, experimentation on humans for study was considered taboo by most cultures. Instead, we used and continue to use other animal species, such as dogs, primates, rodents, and so forth, as models instead.

Vivisection is surgery on live animals to aid the understanding of anatomy and physiology. It's been performed at least as far back as the 6th century BCE. Unlike vivisection in many cases today, where the animal is rendered senseless to pain and even consciousness, vivisection back then was performed on animals who were very much aware, suffering horrific physical and psychological pain.

Ancient physicians who performed such procedures between the 6th and 3rd century BCE include:

Alcmaeon of Croton

Aristotle

Pergamon

Erasistratus

Heophilus

The latter two are notable because they also performed vivisection on convicted criminals. While most ancients had no qualms about vivisection, there was a school of ancient thought, called the Empiric school, which rejected vivisection, partly because they believed it to be a cruel venture.

Not long after the collapse of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity in Europe, animal experimentation rarely occurred. There was no need to pursue scientific and medical knowledge when people were more concerned with the afterlife than their own life and believed in supernatural, as opposed to scientific, causes for disease and healing.

Early-Modern Times

It was only during the Renaissance that animal experimentation re-emerged. Flemish anatomist Vesalius (1514-1564) began to perform experiments on live animals in order to gain a better understanding of the human body.

During the age of Enlightenment, famous philosopher René Descartes erroneously described animals as mere machines, to paraphrase his work. While many even in his day thought this to be absurd, and some claim that his statements have been misinterpreted, it nonetheless gave scientists the perfect justification to perform painful experiments on live animals.

During this time, many philosophers from Baruch Spinoza to John Locke argued for and against, respectively, the use of animals for experimentation.

Regardless of philosophical musings, the 18th and especially 19th centuries yielded important scientific gains in:

Anatomy

Physiology

Neurology

Pathology, the study of diseases

Interestingly, just as animal experimentation was beginning to yield significant gains in the later part of the 19th century, a growing anti-vivisectionist movement was arising, especially in Britain.

A couple of extremely harsh experiments helped spur the movement. French physiologist François Magendie nailed down a dog by its paws, then began to dissect its facial nerves and left it overnight for further dissection the next day. Scientist Claude Bernard was also known for cruel experiments, slow-cooking animals alive in ovens to help understand how the body regulated its temperature.

These two examples, among a plethora of others, helped the anti-vivisection movement to gain steam (and included members like Bernard's wife who divorced him in disgust). Frances Power Cobbe founded the National Anti-Vivisection Society and the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection.

Frances Power Cobbe founded anti-vivisection organizations

In Great Britain, an 1876 amendment to the 1849 Cruelty to Animals Act regulated the use of animals for scientific purposes and required the use of anesthesia, drugs that subdue sensation and/or consciousness (discovered in 1846).

This was the first legislation to regulate animal experimentation and would be the only one for 50 years to come until other, namely Western nations, began passing similar bills.

Modern Times

The 20th century brought major advancements to the understanding of the human body thanks to animal experimentation. We began to delve into hormones, vitamins, vaccines, cancer and cancer treatments, etc that saved human and non-human animal lives, and also allowed for a better, higher quality life.

In fact, animal experimentation became mandatory in some cases. After an untested drug called DEG was responsible for killing over a hundred people, the U.S. passed the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, requiring animals to be tested before marketing drugs.

Nonhuman animals are used in laboratories for a number of purposes. Examples of animal experimentation include product testing, use of animals as research models and as educational tools. Within each of these categories, there are also many different purposes for which they are used. For instance, some are used as tools for military or biomedical research; some to test cosmetics and household cleaning products, and some are used in class dissection to teach teenagers the anatomy of frogs or to have a subject for a Ph.D. dissertation.

The number of animals used in animal experimentation is certainly smaller than that of those used in others such as animal farming or the fishing industry. Yet it has been estimated to be well above 100 million animals who are used every year.

The ways in which these animals can be harmed in experimental procedures, also known as vivisection, vary. In almost all cases they are very significant and the majority of them end with the death of the animals.

There's an important difference today between the consideration that is afforded to the potential and actual subjects used in experiments, depending on whether they are human or nonhuman animals. Few people today would condone experimenting on human beings in harmful ways, and in fact, indicative of this, such research is strongly restricted by law, when it isn't just prohibited outright. When experimentation on humans is permitted it is always in a context of the individuals involved consenting to it, for whatever personal benefit that serves as an incentive for them. For nonhuman animals, this is not the case.

This is not because of any belief that experimentation on humans could not bring about important knowledge (in fact, it seems obvious that this practice would uncover far more useful and relevant knowledge than any experimentation on nonhuman animals ever can). Rather, the reason for this double standard is that nonhuman animals are not morally taken into account because the strong arguments against speciesism are not considered.

In the following sections the most important areas in which nonhuman animals are used in laboratories or classrooms, as well as the research methods that don't use them, are addressed.

Animals used for experimentation

Animals are made to suffer and are killed to test the impact that chemicals can have in the environment. Some of the most important environmentalist organizations have been lobbying for this practice and have often been successful despite the opposition of animal defenders.

While animal testing of new cosmetics and household products is now illegal in places such as the European Union and India, it's still being carried out in the U.S. and other places, where many animals are blinded, caused extreme pain and killed.

The use of animals to test new weaponry, bullets and warfare chemicals, as well as the effects of burns and poison for military purposes, remains mainly hidden today, but many animals die in terrible ways because of it.

Animals of a variety of species are harmed for numerous purposes in biomedical research because the non-animal methodologies aren't implemented. Those animals are harmed in many ways that most people ignore.

When new materials are developed, they are often tested by using methods such as cell or tissue cultures, or computational models. However, materials are also commonly tested on animals who are killed afterwards.

Animals used in education

Dissecting animals and using them in other ways has been common practice in the U.S. and some other countries in primary and especially secondary education for many years. This means killing a huge number of animals and educating new generations in the idea that it's acceptable to harm animals for our benefit.

In the science departments of many different universities, research, teaching and training are successfully carried out without using animals as laboratory tools. However, animals are still subjected to all kind of procedures in many other places.

Towards a future without animals harmed in laboratories

Defenders of animal experimentation often claim that there is no choice but to harm animals lest scientific progress be stopped, but this is not so. There are many non-harmful methods available today.

Despite the fact that many other companies do not experiment on sentient animals, there are still companies that choose to continue carrying out animal tests out of a lack of will to implement new methods.

Fortunately, although many companies today choose not to harm animals in product development, quality and safety isn't affected in the least.

Notes

2 See Taylor, K.; Gordon, N.; Langley, G. & Higgins, W. (2008) "Estimates for worldwide laboratory animal use in 2005", Alternatives to Laboratory Animals, 36, pp. 327-342.

3 Although the term "vivisection" literally means "cutting a living animal," this word has broadened its meaning in common language to denote any kind of laboratory invasive use of an animal. Defenders of animal experimentation prefer not to use it due to its negative connotations. Opponents of it claim that there shouldn't be a problem with using this term given the meaning it already has in common language. They argue that its rejection is due to an intention to use language that is not explicit about how animals are used in this field.
