Seems to me that the best way to protest the use of animals in cosmetic
testing is to just do without cosmetics altogether.  Suppose you buy a
cosmetic from a "humane" company, and it puts YOU in severe agony
instead because its caustic effects weren't found in pre-market testing.

The cosmetic industry is a multi-billion-dollar black hole, and anything
is reason enough to cut their chunk of the GNP down a little.
