I am appalled, disgusted and frightened. It is unacceptable for people to treat animals like that! I hope that these practices will be outlawed and banished - soon.

How are people okay with this? I don't understand. I don't know if this is a complete list but thought I would post the link anyway. Caringconsumer.com

Also, for juice, whirl pomegranate seeds in a blender or food processor, then pour through a fine strainer into a container. Of course you can only do this when they are in season.

Okayness and Not Okayness

I don't think people are okay with this kind of thing. That's why we don't hear much about it in the MSM. That's why animal rights activists are branded as "Terrorists" - when the term applies much more appropriately to those who do this kind of "testing" (though it's more like torture.) Thanks be to OlyBlog, for exposing this kind of thing.

pom decides to reform

VICTORY: POM Promises to End Deadly Animal Tests!
Last year, PETA discovered that POM was funding outrageous experiments on animals in order to make health claims about its products. It's hard to imagine why a company that makes pomegranate juice would be testing on animals, but what we learned was shocking. In one experiment, balloons were inflated into live rabbits to study erectile dysfunction! In another experiment, baby mice were suffocated to the point of brain damage and then had their heads cut off. Those are just a couple of the tests that POM was funding.
We immediately contacted POM, urging the company to abandon all tests using animals, but after being told by the company that it would continue to fund animal tests, we had no choice but to launch a full-fledged boycott campaign. After enduring just a few months of PETA's public education campaign about POM's deadly tests, POM has decided to stop funding and conducting animal tests.
