[Info] WELCH'S PLEDGES TO END ANIMAL TESTS / Welch arrête les tests sur les animaux

[Guest guest]

FR / Welch Food, Inc. pratiquait des tests sur les animaux pour étudier

les possibles bénéfices pour la santé de la consommation de jus de

raisin. Les expériences portaient sur des chiens qui avaient la poitrine

ouverte et leurs estomacs étaient alors remplis de jus de raisin. Les

rats étaient empoisonnés puis on leur donnait du jus de raisins. Les

singes et les lapins étaient aussi utilisés pour cette expérience.

EN / WELCH'S PLEDGES TO END ANIMAL TESTS!

 

According to the American Anti-Vivisection Society:

In the April 2004 issue of the Activate for Animals, we told our readers

that Welch Food, Inc. was funding animal tests to study the possible health

benefits of drinking grape juice. They later learned that these

experiments included dogs who had their chests cut open and their stomachs

filled with grape juice and rats who were poisoned and then fed grape

juice, both done to study the effects of Welch's products on the body.

Monkeys and rabbits were also used in experiments. After receiving

numerous letters from consumers asking Welch to stop experimenting on

animals, and a threat of a boycott from animal protection organizations,

Welch recently released a statement saying that it would no longer conduct

animal tests.

 

The American Anti-Vivisection Society would like its supporters to please

thank Welch for establishing a compassionate policy and for ending its use

of animals in the research it conducts.
