Pantene Pro-V, testing with animals

Orwell, SoDDa & eil | 24.08.2005 15:18 | Animal Liberation | Health | World

Open letter to Pantene Pro-V

Dear Sir or Madam:

Being such an important businessperson, we suppose you have had the means to acquire a good culture standard. So that you must know whom the Nazis were, and you ought to have the knowledge that they did kill millions of Jews and Russians and they invaded large areas of Europe.

You might have heard as well about the concentration camps, in where hundreds of thousands of people were jailed. Maybe you also know of the sinister figure of Josef Mengele, who tested around using Jews as if guinea pigs. Among his large extent of tests, he tried to change the eye colour by injecting chemical substances in children’ eyes, all sorts of amputations, tremendous surgeries and even some attempt to create artificially Siamese twins by joining twin brothers’ veins.

We are writing you to let you know that Pantene Pro-V shampoo is probably the best one for our hair. However, we had to quit using it according to our conscience. We do not think at all that your enterprise treats animals in a better way than Nazis did with Jews.

We have to put forward three main points about this. First of all, we certainly know that some people have given up using your product for this very reason. Secondly, we are strongly determined to carry out denouncing campaigns. Finally, we will take up using Pantene Pro-V only if:

1. You can give us any evidence stating that animal lives are worth less than the ones of people. That is to say, if you manage to prove us that animals do not suffer from physical pain, fear, boredom, depressions or psychic unease.

2. Pantene Pro-V publicly announce their giving up their tests with animals. What is more, the enterprise ought to add a label to all their products stating it, as it does The Body Shop, for instance.

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Orwell, SoDDa & eil
