boycott POM and Fiji Water

"We do choose to fund [animal] research... We are not ashamed of this fact."
-POM Wonderful
POM resorted to funding experiments where scientists temporarily lowered brain oxygen levels and brain blood flow in newborn mice then forced their mothers to drink water mixed with pomegranate concentrate amongst other cruel test to rabbits and other animals (including inducing erectile dysfunction).We believe that it is simply cruel and unneccessary to KILL animals for JUICE.
As a consumer you can make compassionate choices and let POM know that you neither approve nor apperciate what they are doing. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does NOT require that animal tests be conducted in order for healthclaims to be made about food products but POM insists on killing animals so they can make health claims about thier product. They are killing animals simply so they can make more money. In addition, instead of simply stopping the animal testing, POM has been so stubborn as to file a lawsuit in court trying to ban protests against its company. The executives (who don't think twice to force innocent defenseless lab animals to be terrorized) claim they feel "intimidated" and "threatened" by activists who protest in front of their homes. Seven peaceful activists homes have been raided in the L.A.-area because of their protests against POM. Killers AND Cowards, eh?
Do not purchase POM until they follow the lead of thier competitors Welchs, Ocean Spray and Tahiti noni who have all agreed to stop testing on animals.
The company who own POM also own Fiji Water, Paramount Farms (Sunkist brand Almonds/Pistachios), Teleflora, and Paramount Citrus.
