Alternatives to Animal Testing
My decision to write about alternatives to animal testing is a personal choice. This choice is not meant to preach to anyone or put anyone down. This is simply my personal views that I would like to share.
Animals have always represented for me unconditional love and devotion that is unsurpassed with humans.
My devotion to my animals reaches very far and would simply do anything and spend anything to assist them with a healthy and happy life.
I feel there is not a good reason to test any product on animals. Simply put any living being should not be subjected to any type of testing if they cannot sign their name to a waiver and have a legal document stating they were of sound psychological mind at the time of their signing.
Since animals cannot talk and or sign a document this in my belief is not an option.
We all have free will, this is the beauty of being human in this world. Many will allow testing to be performed on them for monetary compensation and others simply for scientific research to be furthered. Those who have these beliefs I feel should move forward and be allowed to participate.
If a company cannot find alternate means for testing their product then I do not feel the product should be allowed on the shelves for consumers. Many labels have "hidden" animal products in everyday products by with barely-decipherable chemical names designed to fool unsuspecting consumers.
What I find rude to ones intelligence is when a label lists "No animal ingredients" but can still contain animal ingredients as there are no federal guidelines that exist to monitor when a product claims no animal ingredients.
Many consumers once they become comfortable reading labels can quickly check for certain ingredients and avoid as much as possible. I urge people who want to be educated to research as much as possible as knowledge is always power.

Please consider reading or sharing the additional information I post from time to time on animal research.
I am always open to questions and will try to provide as much resources as I can for you.
