Yes, they DO test on animals. It is NOT necessary to test medications on animals before they are ready for human consumption as many of the physical attributes (etc.) of animals are different than that of humans. However, many companies still insist upon putting animals in excruciating pain although there are other options to test a product that do not involve helpless animals.

S.C. Johnson is a company that uses oral toxicity tests mainly on mice and rats. They also perform dermal toxicity tests on rabbits.
Wella didn't test their products on animals however, they were bought out by Proctor & Gamble and this company does perform animal testing. After looking on the list of companies that don't animal test their products, Wella wasn't listed but I seen lots of products listed under Proctor & Gamble that are being tested. So I would think that Wella is testing their products on animals since they have been bought out by a testing company.
