animal cruelty


After reading this article, I automatically went to my shampoo bottle. It said "product not tested on animals". And I realized that this is a very big problem to our society. Not only because it means killing innocent aimals and it's just wrong but, it also defines us as humans. Our decisions are what define us. not how much money we have, or how much we've advanced in our techology, but our decision, those are the ones that really matter. It also got me asking myself, could our advance in technology really be good? I mean, it's certainly good for us now, but will it be in the future? Are we really thinking about everyone being affected with our rise in technology? What about the earth? The animals? Other species that are being affected by this. It also makes me think that us as humans the"superior race" and how selfish we are. We make products that help us, maybe they clean our hair, our houses our teeth our skin, our face etc. etc. (did you notice all of the ours in there? I did). But do we ever think about what it costs? To create products that do all of those things listed above, it costs thousands of animals days, weeks, months, even years of suffering or maybe even death so we can create products for ourselves. When you use one of the products that are 'tested for alergic reactions', do you think about how many innocent animals died with alergic reactions because some fancy shmancy company felt like selling a 'safe' product to you? It gives you something to think about every time you use a 'safe' product.
