I don't believe this, but just wondering what everyone else thinks..

Someone filmed Starship Troopers, too. Doesn't mean I'm looking for aliens to start dropping out of the sky.

Another victory for animals.

VICTORY: Welch's Promises to End Deadly Animal Tests!
Last year, PETA discovered that Welch’s was funding outrageous experiments on animals in order to make health claims about its products. It’s hard to imagine why a company that makes grape juice would be testing on animals, but what we learned was shocking. In one experiment, dogs’ chests were cut open to induce massive blood clotting, and a tube was then attached to their stomachs in order to pump them full of grape juice. Afterward, the experimenter collected blood samples by “fresh puncture” of the dogs’ hearts. In another experiment, hundreds of rats were poisoned with toxic chemicals, fed grape juice, and cut up to observe the effect that it had on their bodies. Those are just a few of the tests that were conducted on innocent dogs, monkeys, rabbits, and rats.

Welch’s New Scientific Research Policy
“As scientific research capability is advancing rapidly, we believe it is appropriate to adopt the following formal policy on Welch’s scientific research … Welch’s will not fund animal research.”
We were horrified to find out that a seemingly wholesome, family-friendly company like Welch’s would fund this kind of cruelty. We immediately wrote to Welch’s urging the company to abandon all tests using animals, but after receiving no positive response from the company, we had no choice but to consider launching a full-fledged boycott campaign. On May 5, PETA sent another letter to Welch’s giving the company one more chance to discontinue all support for animal tests. On May 16, PETA received a statement from the company saying that it would no longer fund or conduct any animal tests.

This is a huge victory for animals who are being tortured and killed in laboratories, and it exposes how ridiculous the vivisection industry is as a whole—torturing dogs and monkeys to promote fruit juice! With this announcement, Welch’s joins other compassionate juice companies like Sunny D, Old Orchard, SunSweet, and many others that have signed PETA’s statement of assurance affirming that they do not fund or conduct any experiments on animals.

Please thank Welch’s for making the compassionate decision to end all animal tests and for showing that good health never has to come at the expense of animals’ suffering in labs:

You Can Help Create More Victories for Animals

Even though more sophisticated, accurate, and humane alternatives exist, some companies have refused to abandon their funding of cruel animal tests. PETA is urging Ocean Spray, POM Wonderful, and Tahitian Noni to follow in the footsteps of Welch’s and put an end to their outrageous experiments that kill animals.

Please contact these companies and let them know that you won’t support them until they take a stand and stop funding animal experiments:

*sigh* Whether who or what does this, animal experiments, SUCK. It makes me feel bad for wearing makeup sometimes, because I usually forget to see if the product is tested on animals before I buy it..

What I meant by the comment was that PETA has been caught red handed setting up companies by putting their people in place in a job and filming the actions of their own people, then claiming the actions of their people are the company norms. Just because its on film doesn't mean that it is true.

Yeah I know, I didn't mean I trusted PETA. I thought that might be the case as PETA do some strange things . I was just stating that whoever or whatever that film was about caused unecessary cruelty to animals. The dogs in that film were still suffering whether it was a gimmick or truth. That's what I was upset about.

Can you show any proof that PETA people falsifyed a video by having
one of their volunteers abuse the very animals they are trying to help?

Wow, I believe this bordors on paranoia.

Liz,

It would take some digging, but it was they were sued by companies and shelters for exactly that.

Well all I know is that PETA members were caught euthanizing animals they picked up from homes after promising their families they would be adopted out and dumping the bodies in a nearby grocery store dumpster...

So PETA was sued. So what? Anybody can bring suit against anyone
else. What was the outcome to the case?

As for the press release from The mega company Convance. Sounds like
those horrible PETA folks lied when they said they wanted to be a loyal
employee & keep quiet about what goes on behind closed doors.

This stuff is not proof that PETA people abused the animals they were there
to film & document. (animal care or lack of it)
