The Billionaire Who Started With Just $700: John Paul DeJoria
"I asked them, we're a hair care company. Why are we testing on animals? You've got a a dozen marmicetses in this little room. These little monkeys and there's one door."
DeJoria describes a dispute at Redken (which he identifies as a “hair care company”) after he says he challenged the firm’s use of animal testing, including what he describes as a room holding “little monkeys”. He says the owner told him the testing made the company look “scientific”, and he later lost his job after continuing to tell colleagues he believed it was wrong.
