Buy Cruelty Free
Despite the increasing number of cosmetic and household product manufacturers that have pledged not to test their products of animals, many companies continue to employ outdated and cruel methods which involve poisoning and injuring helpless animals.
Animals in laboratories are confined to a life of pain, suffering and misery and are denied even the basics such as fresh air and sunshine. Terrified animals including mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits are routinely exposed to toxic chemicals which burn, irritate and ulcerate their skin. Some of the tests involve dripping chemical substances into the animal’s eyes and forcing them to ingest cocktails of chemicals which can blind and sicken.
As a consumer, your choices when buying a new perfume, deodorant or floor cleaner can make a big difference to an animal’s life. When shopping, choose products which are manufactured by companies with a ‘No animal testing policy’ to help prevent the suffering and abuse of countless animals.
You can find cruelty free products in many shops including supermarkets and department stores. Health food stores usually carry a good range of hair dyes, toothpastes and other personal care products.
Act Now
- Avoid purchasing products that have been tested on animals. There are heaps of products that work just as good but don't involve the cruelty. For a list, please click here.
- If you accidently purchase an animal tested product, return it to the shop and ask for a refund. Make sure you explain your reasons for returning the product.
- Write polite letters to companies that still test on animals and encourage them to adopt more sophisticated non-animal testing methods.
- Ask the manager of your local store to stock more products that have not been tested on animals.
- Encourage family and friends to avoid products that have been tested on animals.
