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?
These are the companion animals of students in the Spring 2017 Animals and Society Cohort. Meet the nonhuman animals who we share our lives with.
