As much as I despise this subject because of it's brutality, I think it is important to bring it up as often as possible. I was out to lunch with a good friend yesterday and she mentioned it while we were at Ulta. I had forgotten.
I am still trying to figure out why we are still testing on animals when we have such advanced technology?
How barbaric! To torture animals for aesthetic reason is beyond understanding. Or to see if Cleansers and cleaning products will harm us.
Do you want to live an extra 20 years because of animal torture? That is the medical communities comments. Because of animal testing you get to live till your 100 and pooping your pants, how fun!!
Finding a cure for deadly disease. We can't do that without animals? We can't grow ears and heart valves in petrie dishes? We have come so far, to take 100 steps back.
I love animals, but sometimes I feel like a hypocrite in the face of them. I don't live my life entirely vegan. I like being a carnivore, so I struggle with that part of me everyday. I am not preaching for you to become a vegan, but to try and make just a small difference.
I also do not know what I would advocate if Sam needed a new heart valve. Would I sacrifice one of my animals for him? It is something I struggle with every day. In the meantime, I try to make a small difference out of love, but also out of guilt for the selfish way I live.
Please be aware, some info and pictures on the sites below are disturbing. But please, take time to read. Without your awareness, we can do nothing.
The site below will give you an idea of the companies that sell cruelty free products.
There are tons of cruelty free products out there. Not all are expensive premium products. You will be surprised.
Dosomething.org is a wonderful and informative website on things we can do for this planet. Check it out.
Now...after all is said and done, and you have shrugged your shoulders because the subject is too heavy for you, picture one of your beloved pets being tortured for the price of humans.
