Isn’t man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for “Peace on Earth.

Make a stand against Nestea’s cruel tea!
Nestea continues to test possible health benefits of their tea on animals, even though the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t require any of these methods. In fact, the US and European regulators have publically stated that animal tests aren’t sufficient to prove health claims about food and beverages.
The experimenters for this company inject mice with toxic chemicals to destroy insulin-producing cells that cause for the animals to develop diabetes. They then force feed them tea ingredients before killing them. In other experiments mice were force-fed the product then had their leg muscles cut open and were finally decapitated. That’s not all - mice have been bred to suffer from brain damage and rapid aging and were locked in dark chambers and given painful shocks to their extraordinarily sensitive feet before being killed. This list goes on and will most likely continue without your help.
Say no to Nestea’s CRUELtea by refusing to buy Nestea until its maker ends its deadly tea tests! Drink only cruelty-free tea such as Arizona, Celestial Seasonings, Honest Tea, Lipton, Luzianne Tea, Snapple, Stash Tea, Tazo, Twinings and many more.
Take a few minutes to make a ruckus about this issue:

It could be argued that buying meat is even worse than slaughtering the animal yourself. When you buy meat, you are saying this: “I want a corpse to eat, but I don’t want to get my hands dirty. Here’s some money. I don’t care what you have to do to get that fucker’s heart to stop beating. I just want that animal’s flesh on my plate.” Murder is murder, whether your weapon is a knife or a dollar bill.
