Animal Testing - motherfuckerz

So our wonderful friends at Estee Lauder, Avon, Mary Kay etc - and all their smaller companies (MAC, Clinique, and many others - see list here) - FUCK - are going to put their products to market in China (I'm surprised they haven't already??) and so I cannot support MAC anymore, or Clinique. I have been a MAC customer for a long time. I just wrote them this:

I am appalled to see that your parent company Estee Lauder has resumed animal testing just to put products into China. I have been a MAC customer for years - YEARS, and I have lauded MAC as being an ethical company. I no longer can support your company, however, since finding out about this. It is a travesty, and the country in question should not have been a choice for distribution - even though the same things do not happen here (hopefully), I still cannot support you guys any longer.

I wrote this to Estee Lauder:

I am appalled to hear you have resumed animal testing just to market your products in China. Some ethics. I will no longer support any of your companies, namely MAC or Clinique as those are the ones I have used for many years - so unfortunate, I felt a high respect for the ethics of the company, but will not be able to continue.
If ethics were an issue to begin with, then your company should boycott any country that demands animal testing - IF you actually care. Seems as if you don't.


I will probably do the same with other companies listed.

Why do they have to animal test to market there? Are the Chinese so mean that they insist upon animal testing? They can't handle the notion of something being ethical? I don't get it. So annoying.

Apparently it is mandatory there, yeah.

Can you hook me up with the address of these companies? I wan to write them, too.

I just went on their websites and wrote to customer service. I dunno if it will do any good, but I'll try and find some other addresses.
