Purchasing Products That Don't Test On Animals

Well said fair play man.🌱💚☘️

Thank you 💚💚🥗🥗 I know most people think of veganism in dietary terms so I figured I'd just throw this out there to reinforce the fact that this is also an aspect of veganism that's no less important than any other. Sometimes it feels to me like food and clothing get more attention than household products or even cosmetics do. It's like dish soap etcetera get bottom of the barrel consideration. Or maybe that's just me feeling a certain kinda way.

​@@ethicallybasedexnaziI think you're spot on to be fair. We aught to be as consistent as possible especially on ethical issues, if we know better we should attempt to do better.🌱🌅🍀

Exactly why buy products that harm others!

[@ethicallybasedexnazi]

My sentiments precisely! I do try my best to be as informed as possible but it seems like the moment you think you know they're bought out by some company that tests on animals or something similar. I just try to do the best I can but there are so many products out there that will try to get away with testing if they're not held accountable. And sometimes places flat out don't have options to choose from. It took this town a while to get animal testing free products but I think that also has to do with more pressure being put on these companies to do better which is why we've gotta keep the pressure up and let them know if they start messing up.

Some Dawn bottles have a fluffy duckling on the label, as if to remind me exactly who I would betray with my purchase. It's so twisted that a company that tests on animals can market like that.

Oh, absolutely!! It drives me up the wall man! And their commercials humanewashing and greenwashing the reality of the situation: upbeat music with someone washing the oil off a baby duck while that soap was poured into the eyes of a poor animal in one of their labs? I get so enraged seeing those and the label at the store just pours salt in the open wounds causing my suffering as well.
