WELCH'S PLEDGES TO END ANIMAL TESTS /Welch arrête les tests sur les animaux
FR / Welch Food, Inc. pratiquait des tests sur les animaux pour étudier
les possibles bénéfices pour la santé de la consommation de jus de
raisin. Les expériences portaient sur des chiens qui avaient la poitrine
ouverte et leurs estomacs étaient alors remplis de jus de raisin. Les
rats étaient empoisonnés puis on leur donnait du jus de raisins. Les
singes et les lapins étaient aussi utilisés pour cette expérience.

EN / WELCH'S PLEDGES TO END ANIMAL TESTS!

According to the American Anti-Vivisection Society:
In the April 2004 issue of the Activate for Animals, we told our readers
that Welch Food, Inc. was funding animal tests to study the possible health
benefits of drinking grape juice. They later learned that these
experiments included dogs who had their chests cut open and their stomachs
filled with grape juice and rats who were poisoned and then fed grape
juice, both done to study the effects of Welch's products on the body.
Monkeys and rabbits were also used in experiments. After receiving
numerous letters from consumers asking Welch to stop experimenting on
animals, and a threat of a boycott from animal protection organizations,
Welch recently released a statement saying that it would no longer conduct
animal tests.

The American Anti-Vivisection Society would like its supporters to please
thank Welch for establishing a compassionate policy and for ending its use
of animals in the research it conducts.
