Why should we only use products from companies that do not test on animals? Why do I abhor vivisection?

These photos (more here) were taken by inspirational photographer Jo-Anne McArthur on Asian breeding farms. The long-tailed macaque is the most heavily trafficked monkey for worldwide research, and these are the conditions they are raised in before being shipped to laboratories.

Step 1: Mother gives birth to baby.

Step 2: Baby takes his first steps. Mother nervously stares at human observers. She knows what’s coming. She’s seen it before.

Step 3: Less than 15 minutes after birth, the still-wet baby is taken from his mother.

Step 4: Mother is hooked onto mechanical milk suckers, so her baby’s nutrients can be fed to humans (thus significantly increasing humanity’s cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes rates…but I digress…)

Step 5: Newborn baby is sent to live the rest of his short life on a veal farm.

Dairy = Veal = Cruelty.

Break your cheese addiction. I know it’s tough (trust me, I KNOW it’s tough- at first), but I promise it goes away.

It’s worth it.
