What You Can Do (It's Easy!)
As caring and compassionate individuals, regardless of our religious background, why would we use any product whose creation has caused so much pain and suffering - especially when there are so many alternatives available?
A large number of companies are responding to the demand for products that are not tested on animals. Many, many companies now don't test on animals and don't use animal products. These products are clearly labeled as "not tested on animals" or "cruelty-free" and "contains no animal ingredients" or simply "vegan".
Once you find your new brands of shampoo, cleaner, lipstick...it's easy ahimsa. It's as easy as switching brands. By changing brands, you are preventing senseless cruelty to countless animals. You are sending companies the message that you prefer cruelty-free, vegetarian products. And this message does get heard. Just last year, Proctor & Gamble decided to stop testing their products on animals.
