CRUELTY IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
By Zainab Jaffry
Did you know that animals are violently tested on to bring you most of the things you use on a daily basis? There is animal cruelty not only in the production of things like furs, leather, fleece, etc., but also in toiletries, household cleaning items, and beauty products.
Every day millions of helpless dogs, rats, primates, sheep, cats, pigs, mice, and rabbits are captured and terribly maltreated in laboratories. They are locked in cold, unforgiving steel cages, crying out for mercy. Horrific experiments are conducted on these innocent creatures as they long for living free. Imprisoned animals undergo excruciatingly painful procedures and heavy abuse.
Researchers have discovered ways to manufacture products without the unnecessary torture of animals, yet the majority of corporations have stuck with animal testing. The alternatives they have found are using human cells and tissues, know as vitro methods, and using silico models, which are advanced computer modeling techniques.

How can you help? Support cruelty free companies/brands, educate yourself as well as others, speak up, and sign online petitions against animal testing. There are a vast amount of cruelty-free alternatives to all products!
These options are available in common stores such as Target, Walmart, Walgreens, etc. There is even an excellent app that allows you to type in a brand and it tells you whether or not they test on animals. It is a free app called “Bunny Free.” Also, when you are shopping, the product may say on the back Not Tested on Animals or it may have a leaping bunny symbol. Looking out for little things like these make it simple to avoid products tested on animals.
Take action today. Even if you are not a vegan regarding dietary lifestyle, you can still stand against unnecessary cruelty and abuse against animals in the manufacturing industry. Through educating ourselves and others, we can become a more empathetic and peaceful world. ❤
