Animal Cruelty

Although this blog is generally used for posting things about art/fashion/music etc. there are other more important subjects that I would like to touch on. One being animal testing.

Many products we use today are first tested on animals to find side effects. For instance, you know that getting shampoo in your eye stings. Before making it to shelves, certain shampoos are tested on animals to come to this conclusion, and caution labels are put on the bottles. The animals are kept in labs, have horrible living conditions, and are kept only to be tested on. Mice are not the only animals used in experiments. Rabbits, cats, dogs and other animals are also used for testing. I believe that this is cruel, and a form of animal torture which needs to stop.

Not all products are tested on animals. The ones that aren't usually say it on the back of the container. It's not always easy knowing which brands don't test, but to help educate people on this subject, I've put together a list of some that don't.

If I am missing any, feel free to post them in a comment. The more options we have for using non-tested products, the better.

Help save our furry friends!
