The general public buys products every single day that are tested on animals before being deemed fit for sale. Innocent animals are used and abused for our "benefit". Are you aware that you're contributing to their suffering? Or do you just not care? I know that I was not aware about animal testing for the longest time, but then I became an avid internet surfer. Once you have the knowledge, you have the power to make a difference. Every penny spent on products tested on animals is another penny the company can use to torture another animal. It doesn't matter if you're not doing it directly, you're funding the process, which is nearly just as awful. Without the funding and with the backlash from former customers, companies can and will change to please the public. The companies that test on animals are nothing without our money.

When buying products, be aware of the labels. Products that aren't tested on animals almost always have "Not Tested On Animals" printed somewhere on the product container. If it doesn't, a quick Google search can tell you. Soaps, laundry detergents, hair products, pesticides, perfumes and body mists, shaving cream, deodorant, sun screen, etc., could all be tested on animals. Keep in mind that many name brand products do test on animals, but there are many great quality companies and products that don't (click here for the list).

Please don't continue to fund the suffering of innocent animals once you've educated yourself on the matter. I would post some pictures to show you what happens to these animals, but they're much too brutal. Animals have products dripped into their eyes, rubbed on their shaved skin, pumped into their bodies, and more terrible acts all for the sake of what... Beauty? Cleanliness? Whatever the reason, there's no excuse.

Rabbits are most commonly used for all kinds of animal testing, and that is why the cute little bunny is my cover photo. You wouldn't want to contribute to his suffering, would you? You don't want to pay other people to torture him, right? Anyone in their right mind would not consciously contribute to another being's suffering. And don't try to justify testing on animals because you wouldn't want an untested product to harm you. Don't buy products that have harmful or potentially harmful ingredients, and you won't have to worry about that.
