I never tested your perfumes before and know nothing about the company, but I do know that some fragrance companies still perform animal testing so I always ask before purchasing. So I used this opportunity to ask you directly. Please don't feel offended. I picked "anonymous" because I completely missed the "name" option.

Still men do it and do much worse than that, torturing human beings and entire nations. The ethic of a person will make him renounce to profits if they are derive from injustice done to any creature, animal or man.<br />Still profit today is made exclusively from injustice done to animals, men and whole nations.<br />If I believed that civet were tortured or ill-treated for their substance I would not use it, but civet farmers in Ethiopia have interest to treat their animals as well as American farmers have interest to treat their cows.<br />If I believed that the hunting of beavers would threaten their survival as a specie I would not use Castoreum. But beavers are hunted in Canada by quotas which leave an animal population that their environment can sustain.<br />About muskdeer and the sad fate of these mythical animals, read my report on Kashmiri Muskdeer. <br />http://www.profumo.it/cashmir/english/13_kashmiri_muskdeer_report_moschus.htm <br />I do not trade in musk deer although I know very well where I can purchase it and many people are asking to buy it from me.<br /><br />As for testing my products, it seems strange that I am asked if I test them on animals while I am using them to cure people with success, as you can see in my Timbuktu pages.<br />http://www.profumo.it/Blog/index.phpAbdesSalaam Attarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10381476702427212770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017703341820431004.post-8610428738042200692010-09-29T11:50:47.611-04:002010-09-29T11:50:47.611-04:00You could consider reprogramming yourself but it w...<i>You could consider reprogramming yourself but it would be a bit more complicated than my daughter's case because you would have to live some events particularly positive emotionally in a place that has the fresh cut grass smell.<br />Mybe a barbecue party on the lawn?</i><br /><br />Thank you.
