We use 7th generation partly because it has the no animal testing bunny on the label. After seeing the mouse, we can wait until they change their attitude.

For years, Seventh Generation has been a trusted go-to brand for compassionate customers looking for cruelty-free cleaning and other household products. But while we've washed our clothes, cleaned the windows, and scrubbed the floors with its products, believing that our purchases supported an ethical company that never harms animals, Seventh Generation has been promoting legislation that will result in the painful poisoning deaths of tens of millions of animals.

Here is Seventh Generation's dirty secret: The company has been an outspoken advocate of a number of campaigns that promote tests on animals, including its own Million Baby Crawl. Now the company has gone even further by refusing to support reforms to the Toxic Substances Control Act that would reduce the number of animals poisoned and killed in experiments. These reforms would mandate that tests on animals be conducted only after all other methods of obtaining information on a chemical have been exhausted.

We have tried for years to persuade Seventh Generation to pull its support for these pointless tests, but the company claims that supporting reforms to reduce the number of cruel and painful tests on animals "is not really compatible" with its position.

It is shocking that Seventh Generation thinks that protecting the environment by using safer chemicals and protecting animals from laboratory experiments are incompatible goals, particularly when scientists have repeatedly demonstrated that tests on animals delay effective regulation and do not protect public health or the environment. It is doubly shocking that a company that promotes itself as cruelty-free would promote policies that will lead directly to the suffering and death of tens of millions of animals.

1. Kick

2. I've always found their cleaning products underwhelming.

And the idea of a green products company that sells "disposable" diapers is a head-scratcher.

I prefer Method.

3. Seventh Generation or PETA?

I'll go with Seventh Generation, even though I no longer use their overpriced, lower-quality products.

4. It's not about PETA vs Seventh Generation

9. Well, this just got interesting.

How so? You listed 4 things in response, called it "the same anti-science goofiness" so declare your sentiment without generalities.
