The Crunchy Granola Nut: May 2015

You are human. Do not be inhumane.

In this day and age, many people are overly concerned with the amount of profit they are making and the amount of money they spend on things. This has been taken much too far with a cheap "solution" of testing products on animals. These animals are abused, manipulated, scared out of their wits, stressed, and have even died from the harm they were, and still are put through.

Just like humans, animals are here to live their own everyday lives that nature has given them. They take what they need and nothing else. Yet, here we are using their own precious lives for the vanity of ourselves. Whose it to say that we should spare ourselves and test the products on creatures that are believed to be below our ranking? Oh, that's right. Money. Cheapskates. Greed. Inhumane morals. As a society, we need to look beyond that and do what is right, both humanely and for those that we are sharing our time with on this glorious Earth.

Sadly, many popular companies are still testing on animals. The millions, even billions of money they already have do not seem to matter to any of them. It is up to us if we want to make a change. Together, we need to protest, whether it's going out to do something bold or just to no longer buy their products. Something can and must be done.

To get you thinking, here's a list of some of the most popular/main companies that test on animals. I'm sure if you were to do more research, you could find many more.

Now, I don't want to discourage you all. There are still many companies that do not test on animals. Also, for those that want to make your life and decisions on which brands to use much easier, almost all organic/all natural products do not test on animals. Many products also will have it specifically stated on the product that it was not tested on animals.

Again, with some research, more companies that do not test on animals can be found. There have also been a variety of apps that you can download to help you in this process. I have recently downloaded the Choose Cruelty Free app, only one of many.

Never forget the moral of being humane. It is something that holds us all together and helps us all with having a happy life while loving and respecting all creatures.
