Yes I know it's so very important to get it out there but so upsetting to read and see it. You never know when it can make a difference for sure. Let's hope it does even in some small way. | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | If I remember correctly ....vivisection *might* have been the very thing that truly drove home my core passion in Animal Rights (aka Welfare). I remember first seeing it in my mid teens and was absolutely HORRIFIED. For those who don't know what vivisection is...there are pictures of it if you search yahoo or google, but please BEWARE...the images are incredibly disturbing.

| What can I do? How can we make a difference? I was doing a quick search of products on caringconsumer.org and was overwhelmed by all the comapanies who participate in animal testing. |

One organization I support and really like in this area is the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (the "PCRM", headed by Dr. Neal Barnard). You can sign up for their "action alerts", which are helpful. Some others: The Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA) The National Anti-Vivisection Society HSUS (then click "Animal Experimentation") PETA - Animal Testing The Jane Goodall Institute (LOVE HER ) Hmmmm...I could list so many...anyway, those are a few that I support in terms of the research sector...are you also looking for suggestions of organizations in other sectors too (should we start a thread for that?), like direct care orgs., as in Best Friends Animal Society, Noah's Wish etc?

I remember the day I read about bunnies that were tied down with their eyelids forced open to have hairspay sprayed into their eyes to see what would happen. They were testing it on the rabbits instead of us...To me animal testing for cosmetics is just wrong...

I would love information on ANYTHING. I guess I am wanting to know where to find companies that do not test on animals...is there such a thing????? Cruelty free-The Way the World SHOULD BE. | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Yes - I think we probably need a sticky both for "cruelty free products / companies" (or whatever we want to call it) -- and then we could also have a sticky just for Animal Welfare/Rights/Protection groups that people recommend.
