By Krzanowski M. & Simonson L.Finding out about animal testing was very fascinating when we learned about it in our Animals & Society class. When we were assigned in class to do our own investigation on the things we owned we were amazed by what we found out. That had us thinking… how many people are aware of their product being cruelty or non-cruelty free and do people even know what that means? So we decided to send out a survey…
By Dr. G (Carol Glasser) Students in the Spring 2017 section of Society and Animals (SOC 285W: Special Topics) took a survey measuring their attitudes toward nonhuman animals in the first day of class and again 14 weeks later, toward the end of the semester.
By Kaylie Bozell Let’s be real here… We all love non-human animals. Who doesn’t love a cute fluffy bunny or a puppy that has the ‘puppy eyes’ down to a science? If you’re like me and an animal loving freak, then this blog will (hopefully) grab your attention. I’d like to talk about the ever so sensitive topic of cruelty-free products. What does cruelty-free actually mean? In 1996 cruelty-free shopping had become a popular topic. Consumers thought that cruelty-free shopping was confusing and frustrating. Most consumers had no idea what the term “cruelty-free” meant. Cruelty-free is a term that is used to describe a product that we as consumers buy, that hasn’t been tested on a non-human animal. However, the term “cruelty-free” is highly abused. Meaning that the finished product may not be tested on non-human animals but the ingredients that initially go into the product may have been tested on non-human animals in the past. Pretty deceiving right?
