All I can say is GGGGGGRRRRRRRR http://www.contrabandent.com/cwm/s/contrib/dvv/pissed.gif :mad: http://www.contrabandent.com/cwm/s/cwm/3dlil/mad.gif

I hate animal testing. I wonder if this law is the same in Sweden, will have to look into that...

Ok, I've been looking into this, wanting to know what I could possible do to help, and this is what I came up with:

For all of you who live in America and have the chance to call, please do so! If I lived in America I would be calling right now, but since I don't this is the most I can do...

I know no one responded to this thread, but I just thought I'd update you all on it anyways.

The law was passed after all. You can go here (http://www.peta.org/feat/carolina/index.html) to read more about it and see pictures.

??? I totally missed this thread somehow when it was current. How discouraging. Thanks for the info, Ann.

Thanks for the responses :D

I know this sort of stuff is highly disliked by some people, so I'm kind of weary about posting it but at the same time I want to get this out in the open... Get what I mean?

Here's (http://peta.org/alert/automation/AlertItem.asp?id=444) another current law thingy... but be WARNED, there's a really sad picture on that page.

None of the links work when I click on them and it says the file is removed... :mad:

You're right C.C.'s Mom, the links in my two first posts have been taken off now... Sorry! I guess they delete old news that isn't valid anymore or something.

Then I don't know if my eyes were playing tricks on me, but did you edit your post? In any case, I think it said something about the EU having disallowed animal testing for cosmetics before I clicked reply and that part dissapeared, and if that is true then I am SUPER happy!!! I'm gonna see if I can look that up right now to make sure it's true, so thanks for letting me know about that! I had no clue... and this would be the first time I am happy with the EU.
