Did you know beagle puppies are often blinded during quality tests for Procter & Gamble shampoos? Take Action Now!

It is with great sorrow and disappointment that I must inform readers of this petition about the inhumane and archaic practices that companies such as Procter & Gamble are still using to determine the quality of their products. We live in an era of technology and revolutionary science. The world has evolved a great deal and I was hoping that both humans and animals will end up benefiting a lot from this, but P&G just proved me wrong.

It has come to my attention that beagle puppies are used as baits to test on the quality of the products, for the ‘Head and Shoulders’ type-shampoo, which is an anti-dandruff solution. The company is using these helpless canines to ensure their products reach perfection.

While P&G has stopped testing products in the European Union so it can comply with the EU cosmetic legislation, the company is still testing in facilities in China, where mandatory animal testing are required and where the lack of animal protection laws makes it very difficult to precisely monitor these activities.

Unfortunately, the tendency of using beagle puppies in these inhumane tests seems to be on the rise. For instance, the United Kingdom government approved last year the construction of a beagle testing facility in Yorkshire. Details are scarce at this point and it is still unclear if private companies will have access to this facility  – and that includes Procter & Gamble too.

P&G has denied for a very long time that it continues to test products on animals. But the evidence is clear: the fact that they are still present on the Chinese markets means that innocent lives continue to be cut short in the name of beauty and increased corporate profits.

We, the undersigned, are extremely disappointed to learn about these inhumane testing procedures and sincerely hope they will be brought to an end as soon as possible. Developing non-animal testing methods and investing in research and development on a massive scale should constitute immediate priorities for this company. In addition, while the products that are sold within the EU borders are not tested on animals, those in China are for sure, so we hereto ask P&G to reject the Chinese market and take a firm stand against animal testing.
