To whom it concerns,
Lyons and Lipton teas tests their products on animals, which often die as a
result, to make health claims on its products.
Rabbits are fed a high-fat
diet to increase their cholesterol levels and harden their arteries. Then, they
were fed tea in their water.
Little piglets were exposed to E-coli toxins
to cause diarrhea. Then, the researchers cut the pigs intestines apart while the
animals were still alive, to see the effects on the animal. The piglets were
then killed.
"Mutant Mice bred to suffer bowel inflammation were
administered tea ingredients in order to see if there were any effects on their
condition. After the test, the mice were killed by neck-breaking or
suffocation", a press release issued by the People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA) revealed this week.
Numerous reports in recent years have
called into question the tea company's use of animals and animal products in
their teas, including possible blood being employed as a dye.
I
urge you to stop using animals as research. Experimenting on animals is not only
cruel but also unnecessary. There are cheaper, quicker and more accurate methods
available.
Sincerely,
