hello everyone,
sthis morning I was thinking back to the recent discussion about Toscanini,
and a thought occurred to me:
Nowadays, one increasingly sees cosmetic products, or even other chemically processed products, with the label "This product and its components have not been tested on animals."
I wonder if one day we will see written on the back of a CD (or at the bottom of the concert program notes)
"For this recording (or concert), no orchestral musician was mistreated"

Curiosity, I've always wondered, in these cases what is the purpose of the statement? Is it a "reverse" way to communicate to those directly involved that they will act as guinea pigs?

It could be, viewed ironically or not, but I think that deep down you also know that they actually use this phrase to "reassure" those who would not approve of animal testing; then again, can one trust (the fact that it is true)? I don't know.

Of course “in the end” I understand the meaning of what is written ... the problem is regarding what is not written and implicitly understood because of what is written. To explain myself better, if they haven't performed tests on animals (assuming that is true or necessary), what is the alternative? Okay for a laboratory certification... and then? Obviously, I imagine there are customers too.

Obviously Frank: there are customers (that is, patients). That is, eventually, any one of us.
You just have to know it.
Anyway, the pharmaceutical turn the discussion has taken is also interesting

Or the ingredients have already been tested on animals before and for that product it is not necessary to test again and they write it.
