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!

Things I Learned from Reading the French 100%-Animal-Testing-Free Company List

Reading the French 100%-Animal-Testing-Free Company List was not quite as exciting as reading the Australian CCIC-sister-site’s list of cruelty-free companies. However, I did find out that Weleda does subscribe to the Humane Cosmetics Standard. I’ve never actually bought Weleda products, since up till a few days ago I thought they were 50%-cruelty-free, but I’ve seen them at almost every health food store I’ve ever been to. So, I’ll have to start checking them out in the future!
