Cruelty Free Living is quagmire of compromise.
Just when you think you've got it all straight and you are patting yourself on the back for treading lightly on the planet and avoiding causing unnecessary suffering some argumentative twat comes along with a scenario you've not yet thought of.
The strength of your blow to the status quo is that you are doing
something. So many cynics on their mission to quell smugness where ever it flourishes use their carefully honed philosophy and hypotheses to justify doing nothing.
Doing something is always better that doing nothing even if that something you are doing is saying nothing.
I've noted that an increasing amount of cosmetics say they are cruelty free. How can they be cruelty free if they are not vegan ?
I concede that buying these cosmetics is better than doing nothing and buying products tested on animals but there is lots of room for better still.
Go out and do the best you can - be as vegan as you can be!
Invisible In Forest Hill - Georgina Palmer from Forest Hill joins a growing band of publishers targetting ethical consumers. Other magazines such as Lifescape and Off the Hoof have found the present climate of tightening advertising belts tough. Whilst off the hoof takes a hard core vegan line Lifescape took a low key fashion approach to ethcal publishing. Georgina's magazine is more like sugar or shout with a proven formula of celebrity interviews, true life interviews and shopping tips. With some hard hitting stories about bullying and animal cruelty that she hopes will capture the hearts of youngsters in Forest Hill Georgina is hoping her magazine Invisible will prove popular.
