Cruelty-free

[Catherine]

Quote:(This is meant to sound cynical)....but my bet is there are already better safer methods which don't involve animals, but they are more expensive.

It is always cheaper to maintain the status quo.  The animal testing facilities are already built. Even if the new cruelty free methods cost the same or less, they would have to spend money to set up the new methods. It is cheaper to stay the same.

Unless of course the public rejects your products and then it is suddenly cheaper to change than lose business.
