My Change IN Behavior

I thought I would bring this to your attention because if you're like me you've never thought about it. Today I had a student do a presentation on animal testing for cosmetics and I was surprised to see that MAC Cosmetics (my favorite), Covergirl, L'Oreal, Aveeno, etc all do animal testing because it's less expensive than doing non-animal testing and some other reasons. I double-checked her sources and she's right, these companies do test on animals! I thought I'd pass on this informative website and list (take with you when shopping) that shows companies that test on animals and those that don't so maybe we can make more informed choices when we purchase cosmetics/detergents/lotions. I was glad to see that Clinique, American Beauty (Khols), Aveda, Bath & Body Works, OPI, Bobbie Brown, Burt's Bees, Calgon, etc. do NOT do animal testing, so there are lots of alternatives.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to eat animals and understand animals tests for medical reasons, but I don't understand why we have to torture them just to test new cosmetics when there are other ways... especially because cheap CoverGirl eye shadow just isn't worth it.
