Nestlé, which makes Nestea, has poisoned, electrically shocked, surgically mutilated, and decapitated rats and mice in deadly tea tests. The mice and rats pictured below were spared from the CruelTEA tests, but others weren’t so lucky. Need inspiration to ditch Nestea’s crueltea? Check out the super-cute reasons below:

 

Not only are mice and rats supa cute—they’re complex, unique, and social individuals who deserve respect. Tell Nestea to ditch its cruel tea tests now!

    As a rat owner, this sickens me :( . It’s no wonder their tea tastes so vile anyway. I started drinking Peace Tea, which according to them and everything I could find about them, they do NOT use animal testing. In fact, they’re supposed to be supporters of animal rights.

    I have 2 rats too, they’re very intellectual creatures, social, lovely. They are individuals. They shouldn’t be an object of human cruelty:(

    I stopped drinking Lipton until they stopped animal testing, so boycotting this company won’t be too difficult.
