I think we can all agree that animal testing should not still happen in today’s world, but, unfortunately, it does. I myself am guilty of feeding into this problem by buying from companies who use animals for testing. It can be hard to know whether or not a company you are buying from is “cruelty free.”  Many brands claim to be, but because using this term in marketing isn’t regulated, you can’t always trust those claims.

According to the website crueltyfreekitty.com, here is a list of companies that aren’t cruelty free. I hope you will keep this in mind next time you make a purchase. This list is not complete, so please do your own research before buying something.
