Wow.
THIS makes me VERY happy.
I go to fairly extreme lengths to avoid buying products from companies that do testing on animals. Ology bar soap and liquid hand soap, which I get at Walgreens, is a favorite, but also Alberto Culver products and a shampoo brand I pick up at Dollar Tree (my mind is blanking on the brand, and I don’t have any right now)*, and Argan Oil of Morocco, which is available at Walgreens and Walmart, for a nice touch after shampooing.
Okay, the extreme lengths are just reading labels and googling brands. But still ….
It’s nice that soon (although not soon enough) I won’t be so limited. But I’ll still remember the brands that did this voluntarily.
Go Humane Society!

UPDATE: In the comments thread, reader Longtooth posted a link to this article published at Huffington Post today about the palm oil industry. That article in turn links to this one published at HuffPost last September. Added 6/9 at 4:54 p.m.
Is that an unintended double negative with avoid+don’t?
You need not post this.

Welcome to AB. Sandwichman already caught this with Beverly. It is corrected. Good call.
“avoid buying products from companies that don’t do testing”
I think you mean the opposite.
Aaaargh.
Quick cut-and-paste changes are great, except when they don’t read my mind.
Thanks, Sandwichman. A lot.
Do any of those products use child or virtual slave labor to harvest any of the ingredients?

Thanks, Longtooth. I just added it to the post as an update.
