Living Cruelty Free

My name is Emily, and I’m a cruelty-freeist — I’m really opposed to causing needless animal suffering. This blog chronicles my spending a year (and counting!) of buying toiletries made by companies whose final products AND initial ingredients were never, ever tested on animals. Other than that, I’m your regular run of the mill vegetarian trying to go vegan (but I am a strong supporter of humane omnivorism since I used to be a carnivore — I don’t think you’re scum if you eat meat, I just hope you’ll consider switching to not supporting horrific factory farming conditions). I live in the San Francisco bay area, I have a dog I cook food for, and I hope I can help you if you’re thinking of adding more cruelty-freeism to your life!

If You Wouldn’t Wear Your Dog, Please Don’t Wear Fur: Jared Padalecki’s Ad for PETA

This isn’t really an animal testing issue, but I was thrilled to find this PETA anti-fur poster with Jared Padalecki, one of the stars of Supernatural , on it. (Thanks Natasha for telling me about this! I love it!). I think PETA should run full-page ads of this in major newspapers. Aren’t Jared Padalecki’s dogs adorable? I love that one on the left — is it some kind of hound?

If you click on this link it will take you to a page where you can vote whether you would wear your dog or not, and sign a petition against (horrible) fur farms.
