Sample Letter

You may use this sample letter written by Colorado HRS member, Leslie Barnes, to express your feelings to Proctor & Gamble. You may also modify this letter and send it to other companies that engage in animal testing and/or the manufacture of fur products.

AG Lafley, CEO
Proctor & Gamble, Inc.
Proctor & Gamble Plaza
Cincinnati, OH 45202

Dear Mr. Lafley:

I am writing to affirm my commitment to boycott Proctor & Gamble, as long as the company continues testing its personal care and household products on animals.

It is inexcusable that P&G continues to use cruel and inhumane animal tests when not one regulatory agency requires them. There are more cost effective and reliable alternatives available. There are more than 550 companies—many of which are your competitors—who develop, manufacture, and sell safe consumer products entirely without animal testing.

Therefore, I vow to continue boycotting all P&G products and to educate other consumers about P&G’s cruelty. Perpetuating animal suffering is more than bad science; it’s bad business.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]
