It's Saturday night and I don't want to be here for hours so this is a short answer.

How about this... instead of me posting links to try to prove anything please google it someday (although I will include the latest naughty list from peta... companies that test on animals).

The strongest argument I could possibly make (not that we're arguing!) is the one thing I will not do...post videos of the actual labs.

Just for fun though since you brought up the words socially responsible? Look up stuff about the warnings not to eat fish from the Mississippi River (contaminated with the endocrine disruptor (pretty much unregulated and there are many different kinds) PFO, a key ingredient in Scotchguard (It was reformulated in 2003. It now contains PFBS which supposedly has a much shorter half-life in people than PFOS . You do realize who all this crap is tested on right? Woof woof). Something like 80 percent of bass were "feminized" while minnows suddenly had intersex characteristics. Eggs in their testes? There is something frightening about that isn't there?

I think there were close to 30,000 lawsuits around the year 2000... asbestos-related issues (and hey the disposable respirator that 3M manufactured and employees wore was defective). Asbestos related issues sounds much nicer than lung cancer, mesothelioma etc. There were lawsuits regarding landfills... we could be here all day, my friend.

Oh and yes... I know about the 3P program (Pollution Prevention Pays).

Nice that they just got a big tax break for a shiny, new research facility. Maybe it can hold even more dogs, cats, pigs, guniea pigs, etc.
