Hi All,
I have just started moving into the wide world of cruelty free living, in large part motivated by my lovely and passionate friend K. I love animals, and I am rather ashamed to admit that I have gone all these years without really being conscious of the hideous way that animals are treated to make that products that we use everyday. The animal testing industry as well as factory farming leave animals in misery and are completely unnecessary.
I think that I have buried my head in the sand about this issue partly because it seems so overwhelming, but it is important for each of us to do what we can. Apathy is a dangerous emotion. Also I feel that it is important, at least for me, to take this one step at a time. As a starving student, I am financially unable to throw away all of my cruel products and start from scratch, which is what I would really like to do right now. So I am biding my time, doing research, and looking for places where I can pinch a few pennies as well as support ethical treatment of animals.
As this is my very first post I don't have to much information to share here, but I hope that this can be a forum for trying products/companies that treat animals humanly, as well as sharing tips, recipes, and any other efforts that make the lives of animals just a little bit better. If any of you have any ideas I welcome any input.
Thanks for reading!
