BUNNY LOGOS - DO NOT BE FOOLED |

The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics’ (CCIC) have come up with a program to aid consumers in knowing what is safe to buy and what isn't with their Leaping Bunny program. Products bearing the Leaping Bunny logo are internationally recognised as standard for cruelty-free products. In light of this, many companies who use animal testing, are using similar bunny logo's on their packaging in order to trick the consumer into unwittingly buying products which are animal tested.
Here is the Leaping Bunny logo -
Do not let yourself be fooled by anything less than the bunny in this logo!
Most of us are by now aware, that organisations who conduct animal testing, will do just about anything they can to mislead customers into buying - know your logos! |

Never be fooled by a company who uses complicated industry jargon to confuse you into a sale. The only thing you need to know is - 'Do they have a fixed cut-off date? A fixed cut off date tells you whether or not the brand uses new chemical ingredients which have recently been tested on animals. Therefore, the older the cut off date, the more ethical the company. Some companies operate under a five year rolling cut off date; never buy from these types of businesses. A five year rolling cut off date basically allows companies to keep changing the dates when they will stop using ingredients tested on animals which is completely pointless and counter-productive to what the cut off date is supposed to do. If you are still unsure of what to look out for, BUAV (British Union For The Abolition of Vivisection) have published 'The Little Book of Cruelty' which is a must for anyone to download free online, you can download that here:

Greed Equals Murder |

Companies like Proctor & Gamble exist solely to make a profit. They claim they test on animals to safeguard the customers' health, yet they are still using dated experiments and performing testing with chemicals we already know to be on the safelist.
Greed is the motivating factor here and the only thing which could stop a company like this, is a HUGE consumer boycott.
