Limerick - Wearing her sunday best, city drag queen 'Sharon Arseburn' will turn up outside of supermarkets that sell Procter & Gamble and show consumers that there is a dirty secret behind Procter & Gamble's bright packages.

What: Statue on Cruises Street.

Where: Cruises Street, Limerick City.

Time: Sathurday 21st, 1pm.

Each year, thousands of animals die in Procter & Gamble laboratories -- the victims of painful, archaic and entirely unnecessary product tests. Caustic chemicals are forced into the eyes of rabbits and applied to animals' shaved and raw skin.

Laboratory workers place the animals in restraining devices so they cannot struggle while the workers apply the chemicals, which burn into the animals' eyes and skin. P&G "scientists" do not sedate the animals or give them pain killers.

Animals sometimes break their necks or backs attempting to escape the pain. Those that survive are used in yet additional painful tests ... until they are finally killed. The victims include rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets and other animals.

"I hope that people will see the true colours of Procter & Gamble, those colours are red, the blood of millions of animals they torture, isnt it time you done the drag on P & G. Says Sharon Arseburn for ARAN

Sharon will be speaking with consumers and members of the public and will also distribute speacial leaflets that show the true facts. She will also turn up at supermarkets in Galway, Sligo and Tipperary.

To speak with Sharon or for more information please contact ARAN.
