the maker of PG tips, Lipton and lyons perform cruel experiment on animals. Hundreds of rabbits, piglets, mice and rats have suffered and died in tests – just so that this company can make health claims about its teas. .
The tests that the makers of PG tips, Lyons and Liptons teas conducted and supported on animals include the following:
Rabbits were fed a high-fat, cholesterol-laden diet, leading to extreme hardening of the arteries. They were then fed tea to see if it could reduce the lesions that had formed on the animals' arteries. After the experiment, the rabbits' heads were cut off.
Mice bred to suffer from a painful bowel inflammation were fed tea ingredients in order to see if the tea had any effect on their condition. After the test, experimenters killed the mice by suffocating them or breaking their necks.
Piglets were exposed to E. coli toxins and then fed tea in order to see if the tea could prevent fluid loss and diarrhoea. As part of the test, experimenters cut the pigs' intestines apart. The pigs were then killed.
Not one of these experiments is legally required for beverage makers, and European and US regulators have stated that animal tests are not sufficient to prove a health claim about a product. Modern, cruelty-free research methods are available and are in use by other leading beverage companies around the world.
