Smithkline Beecham (as was) were one of the worst companies for testing cosmetics (not medicines) on animals - in one instance, they were testing on beagles, and when the testing was complete, they were due to have the animals put down. The RSPCA asked them to wait until they could find the 100 or so dogs new homes, which you can imagine took some time. To cut a long story short, by the time the RSPCA HAD found homes, Smithkline Beecham had destroyed the dogs regardless. So, my kindly friends, do enjoy your Ribena.
