Killing for sport is….

“Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow-creatures is amusing in itself.”- James A. Froude, Brittish historian.

What the heck is a vegan boutique?

What is a vegan boutique?

We were at a little restaurant called “My Vegan Restaurant” and we found this post card advertising for the Alternative Outfitters Vegan Boutique, which is located at 408 S. Pasadena Avenue, Suite# 1, Pasadena CA 91105.

A vegan boutique is a shop that sells animal friendly clothes, shoes and accessories. No, that doesn’t mean animals will sidle up to you and give you a big slobbery kiss, it means that the products aren’t made from any part of an animal.

The postcard shows a pair of boots and explains that you can “Make a fashion statement” with their cruelty-free selection of vegan shoes, bags, apparel, accessories, wallets, belts, jewelry, jackets, t-shirts, coats, make-up, skin care products, hair care products and gifts for both women and men.

You can call them for directions at 866-758-5837 or visit their web pages at facebook.com/alternativeoutfitters, twitter.com/veganboutique or read the blog at myveganblog.com

Why I’m against animal testing for smoking…..

We don’t need more animal testing to see if cigarette smoking causes cancer! People have submitted themselves to this type of testing for years;  they are the smokers who won’t quit smoking even after having induced cancer in themselves.

There is no ethical reason to continue animal testing, these animals are not volunteering for this type of inhumane treatment, and humans have the right to smoke or to quit smoking as a choice.

If tobacco companies really must continue “testing” this poison, just offer free cigarettes to people, and you’ll have all the willing test subjects you need.

After all, are you really interested in whether rats that smoke will get cancer?

These tests are redundant, as it’s a well documented fact that cigarettes cause lung, mouth and throat cancer, and many other smoking related illnesses.

Let people choose their own poison, but leave helpless animals out of the equation!
