PETA Victory: Ocean Spray Pledges to Stop Conducting Animal Tests!

You cannot be serious! Testing using naimals is a better methodology than using humans. medical testing is required & it is what is necessary. PETA has once again proven that they are of the "lunatic fringe!"

Peta is the most worst orginization ever created. Using animals is much better then using humans, what if somoene used you for testeing? yeah shut up, i hate peta, i am a proud hunterwoman and fisher woman and peta is like i sai the worst orginization EVER!

It is not a question of animal testing or human testing. Nothing can be learned by poisoning animals or cutting them open and pumping them full of juice—it's strictly a marketing gimmick designed to advertise juice and fill the pockets of vivisectors who profit from animal suffering. As absurd as these experiments sound, they are typical of the billion-dollar animal-testing industry, which tortures and kills animals every single day and learns nothing of value for humans.

There is an array of non-animal methods available today that are sophisticated and consistently accurate. Learn more at http://caringconsumer.com/factsheet_display.asp?ID=87

After examining the evidence, Welch's stated, "Given that scientific research capabilities continue to advance and evolve, Welch's has recently evaluated its health and nutrition research policy. With the broad range of research alternatives available today, we at Welch's have determined that we can remain committed to scientific research regarding the vital connection between diet and health without the further funding of animal research."

There is no reason to feel threatened by anyone's efforts to treat animals humanely. We all have enough room in our hearts to be kind to all living beings.

Great news! I love PETA.

Why would people even test on animals when it comes to drinking. If it's a plant and people have been drinking it for years, why are we still testing it? If they are adding something to it, I understand, but they're not really changing anything. I don't get it!!!!

It is absurd, Janet. Here are a few examples of experiments that have been done (The info is from PETA's Caring Consumer site, which also has a list of juice companies that do and do not test on animals: http://caringconsumer.com/products_juice.asp

In one shocking experiment, a juice company paid researchers to cut open dogs' chests, intentionally damage critical arteries in order to induce blood clots, and pump the animals full of grape juice. Afterward, they collected blood samples by "fresh puncture" of the dogs' hearts to see the effect of grape juice on blood clots.

One juice company funded an experiment in which researchers infected 120 mice with H. pylori, a bacterium that causes painful stomach ulcers.

Another experiment paid for by a juice company involved forcing monkeys to breathe in massive amounts of cigarette smoke and consume purple grape juice to see if it would keep the tobacco from increasing the stickiness of blood cells.

I hope you will check out the list so you'll know which companies to support.
