Just think about it!

   Well hello there my little blog. It has been a month since I have written in here! Wow, I have been so occupied in a good way. But I am back! Today I will just write a little food for thought..

    Everyday all over the world animals are fighting for their lives while being enslaved. These animals are beaten, kept in chains to make them perform, mutilated and confined to tiny cages and cut alive for food, they are poisoned, blinded, burned and cut up alive for "science," and they are skinned alive after being strangled and electrocuted so that people can wear them around..

    It is overwhelming sickening to think of the abuse animals endure for humans. Everyday choices affect this. What you have for breakfast.. what body wash you use.. what activity you attend.. what shoes you buy. As hard as it is to think about it, you must realize no changes will be made if we look the other way. Every decision matters.

    They are counting on people like me and hopefully you to give them a voice. Please take a moment in your day to learn about the issues and help. Don't support the abuse. It's a lot easier than you think it is.. we can make a difference - I have and it feels wonderful.

Here are just a handful of EASY differences you can and should corporate into your lives..

Please avoid animal products when you shop for clothing and accessories. Vera Bradley has precious handbags and accessories. TOMS makes vegan shoes that are the most comfortable shoes ever. You can avoid fur, leather, and other animal parts VERY easily and look and feel great doing it.

When it comes to entertainment, please avoid movies that include animals in them. Movies such as the recent Planet of the Apes is AMAZING and absolutely NO animals were used in the making. Avoid zoos, circuses, rodeos, and fair games. There are so many wonderful things to do in this world that is cruelty free!

I have included some photos of animal abuse & some personal pictures of my happy, cruelty-free life.
