Customer Reviews

a great resource

This is a must have reference for those of us who want to be concious consumers and who don't want to sponsor the suffering of animals. It lists the ingredients and the companies by name that are conducting the animal tortures. In this day and age such testing and slauter practices are not necessary. Its just cheap and easy or a practice that is "the way they've always done it." If you want to send a message with your pocket book this book will help you. It taught me a lot. It also taught me about charities that promote animal suffering by sponsering animal testing - testing that in many cases does not need to be done in harmful ways or in some cases at all. Great reference.

Excellent guide to cruelty-free buying!

The Shopping Guide for Caring Consumers is: * thorough * well written * well organized * reasonable (doesn't chastise,just informs) * something you can easily carry with you to the grocery or drug store. When you are given the knowledge and the opportunity to do some good, how could you not? I NOW only buy cruelty-free products. There are a lot of quality alternatives out there. We CAN make a difference. I know I am.

Shopping Cruelty-Free Made Easy

I use this informative paperback before I make any purchase. This book lists, in a very organized manner (sorted by type of product), companies that do and that do not test their products on animals. There is a separate section designated for coupons for products from companies that do not engage in animal testing, as well as more specific information about the companies themselves. One section that I found particularly interesting is the list of charities that do/do not engage in aminal testing, and the intelligent reasons why results from animal testing cannot be extrapolated to humans. There are literally dozens of non-profit, cruelty-free organizations to which one can contribute. If you're looking for anything from cruelty-free cosmetics to vegan cookbooks, then this book is for you.

Wonderful Resource
