Our Opinion

Eli Lilly and Company is on the Cruelty Free Investing use of animals list because they use animals for drug testing and clinical trials.

Supporting Evidence:

The following document cites that the company conducts animal testing to assess a product’s safety profile.

“FDA requested the drug’s manufacturer, Eli Lilly and Company, to conduct an animal study to test whether movement of olanzapine into blood after death could lead to higher-than-expected blood levels of the drug.” Read the full document.

With the help of PETA supporters who held stock in Eli Lilly, a resolution was filed in the fall of 2004 calling on the company to “Give the Animals 5“—replace five crude and cruel animal tests with state-of-the-art and scientifically valid non-animal methods that were already in use in other countries.
