Confess

[AnimalAvenger]

Confess anything that you've done lately that isn't animal-friendly.

Um...killed virtual sheep on a videogame?

Accidentally ate meat that somehow slipped into my chinese dish tonight. It was miniscule, and I didn't swallow it, but I could taste the juice. Bleh... *gags*

[AnimalAvenger]

^Yucky! I hate it when something like that happens.

I'll admit that I don't use cruelty-free toothpaste or deodorant. However, I know we can't afford that. Lately, we've been having a bit of trouble with even with food. Just a tad bit.

I also admit that whenever it's that time of the month, I'll take ibuprofen if I have horrifying cramps. I have, however, been trying natural ways to get rid of my cramps.

If you buy the specialised ones that are animal friendly, they will be expensive, but if you buy store brand ones that are animal friendly it's a lot cheaper. I don't know about America but in the UK we have the Co-op which carries the anti viv logo. And they're really cheap.

[AnimalAvenger]

I'll have to check that out, but I haven't heard about any US brands being friendly.

[Black Dove]

^___^ Deoderent or pads? LOL

Nature's Cure offers some stuff to help cramps, I think. I think my mom had some before...

Umm... there's deoderent and toothpaste made by Tom's, but the deoderent sucks at working.

Burt's Bees (if you're okay with the whole bees part) makes toothpaste...

Burt's Bees (if you're okay with the whole bees part) makes toothpaste...

Didn't know that. I'll have to check it out. The crap I use probably has animal products, anyways. Hmm. Will have to think about it.

[Black Dove]

yeah, It's all natural and organic and I'm almost positive they aren't tested on animals.

[AnimalAvenger]

Do you know how much it is?

[Black Dove]

No, but it can't be more than four or five dollars a tube.

$5.00 online. I'll check about animal-testing too.

[Black Dove]

We also pledge to never test our ingredients or products on animals

In the fifth mini-paragraph.

[AnimalAvenger]

Thanks! Will definitely consider it, though the bee thing is definitely an issue.

[Black Dove]

No problem. You should email them and ask how they treat their bees.

(I love how this conversation has gone from confessing to talking about toothpaste. )

[AnimalAvenger]

They probably wouldn't admit the truth. They're a mass-producing company, so I doubt they'd treat their bees too well.
