Ya know what springs a leak in my dike?! Ellen Degeneres's new cover girl commercial! first for obvious reasons, like she has based her indivisusuality on her "au natural" her, now she's sold out to "the man", just like everyone does, when money tastes sweeter better than living your ethics.
but the MAIN REASON THIS CHAPS MY MELONS...
CoverGirl is one of the largest U.S. brands to conduct animal testing.
and after her sobbing lapdog dog experience she described as "surreal", or her environmental campaign she kicked off in oct. of 06.
for her to line her pockets with the torture and mistreatmeat of lab animals while she parades around as some sort of "psuido-animal lover/activest" is not only wrong but when did it become too hard to at least try everyday to be the person you want to be, to accept the fact that as a role model, whether she asked for it or not, is a huge responsibility thats subject to scrutiny.
There are alternatives to animal testing and from buying products from those who animal test. There are methods to safely test consumer products without the use of animals. Consumers can have a voice in the effort to "Reduce, Replace, and Refine Animal Research".
Simple steps such as joining a non-profit organization which concentrates their efforts on animal rights and animal welfare within your own community, and not buying products from companies who use animal testing to promote such products as mascara or shampoo, are a wonderful way to start
Take advantage of your right to choose.
Take advantage of your right to learn.
Take advantage of your right to love the animal kingdom.
Be Easy, Breezy and Beautiful today knowing nothing was harmed in the process.
so my question to you is, who is she?
an animal lover?
a promter of animal testing?
or both, a hypocrite?
