Re: What do you think about this response from a company regarding being cruelty-free?

I agree with you. I think they were trying to give the most honest answer.

For those of you against animal testing for cosmetics, do you refuse drugs for treatment if you're sick?

Testing on animals is not necessary in cosmetics because they have scientific tests that can do that. If you were to read about the tests they conduct and how they are performed it would make you sick. It SHOULD make you sick, and it needs to be stopped. Animals should not suffer and die for the sake of beauty products.

The photo's are horrific, I've seen a few and I can't look at any more.

I can't think about this too long, but I think if anyone would hear the cries and screams of an animal who is being tortured by pain and unable to escape from it..........

I pray for the end of their suffering that they innocently endure.

They have no choice, but we do.

Enough

From my perspective, it's a canned, sort of 'cover our butt', corporate answer. By equivocating they can't be held to any standard.

I've seen the photo's and even more and yes, after seeing/hearing them, I couldn't sleep for a few nights as I couldn't get it out of my head.

There is no reason in today's technology for this to continue.

As to the answer to the OP, IMO, their answer would not be enough for me to trust that they are not tested; also the fact that it took that long was ridiculous.

It seems to me, they should know. It also seems to me they've had plenty of time to get the right answer.

I totally agree with this statement. Especially in all that time they could have found out. I'm sorry if I missed it, what company is this?

"to the best of our knowledge" = GUILTY! this phrase makes me sick, like when people say "I'm sorry you feel that way" instead of just apologizing, they're taking zero accountability
