Brands that (still) test on animals

These days, more and more products are vegan or plant based, artesanal and not mass-produced, so it is shocking to find out that many well-known brands are still testing on animals (or at least paying other companies to test their products on animals). 

I have added PETA's list of brands that practice this, and will also be talking about cruelty-free alternatives to these, with the hope that little by little, we can stop this inhumane testing.

After reading through this list I'm sure that many of you, as am I, are astonished to find that not only cosmetic brands, but also everyday brands such as BIC and Post-It test or fund animal testing. It is crucial we demolish this absurd cruelty in any way we can. To start this off, I've added the link to PETA's (very long and helpful) list of brands that don't test on animals. 

Hopefully, little by little, we can put an end to this. The less money we give to these companies, the less money they will have to fund this cruelty!
