I'm a firm believer in the power of the purse. What we buy and who we choose to buy it from does make the difference in the lives on animals, their environments, as well as the people who make the wares we use.
We would like to share with you some of the most trusted seals available, to help you make more conscious purchasing decisions. These will be presented in subsequent blogs; and we will start with LeapingBunny.org.
Some cosmetic, toiletry and cleaning product labels may claim that their final product has not been tested on animals, but how can you be sure? Also, there may not be any claims about each of the individual ingredients used.
The Leaping Bunny program is administered by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, a consortium of animal welfare groups, including The Humane Society of the United States, American Humane Association, and others. Companies who sport the Leaping Bunny logo on their label claim that the product is 100% cruelty free; this means that neither the product - during any stage of its developement - nor the ingredients used were tested on any animal.
The Coalition also has an online Cruelty-free Shopping Guide to help you make the most informed decisions.
