3) Brushes
The pig is caught and held underfoot, ignoring its plaintive, humanlike cries of pain, while its bristles are yanked out. All Indian wall painting brushes are made of these bristles.
Use hairbrushes, shaving brushes and toothbrushes with synthetic bristles.
4) Butterfly Showpieces
With a single swoop of the net, the fragile butterfly is caught and encased alive in acrylic to be mummified for eternity. Frivolous items like paperweights, brooches, jewellery and showpieces are made from lives of these butterflies.
Surely one can find alternative showpieces.
5) Leather
Leather, the skin of the once living animal, be it a cow, buffalo, goat, Snake or crocodile is definitely not the by-product of a slaughter house as many may assume. Animals are killed to make leather items like footwear, handbags, jackets, belts, wallets, upholstery.
Do not purchase leather products. Leather look-alike products made from synthetic material is a cheap and identical looking alternative.
6) Silk Products
Silk worm breeding is done only to murder thousands of cocoons to make silk threads which in turn make fashion fabrics.
Use synthetic silk
7) Zoos
An animal or bird in the wild represents freedom and joy. To take away their freedom and sentence them for life imprisonment in small and unnatural confinement for viewing pleasure is downright cruel.
Do not support Zoos and aquariums
8) Circus
A sheer mockery of the magnificence of animals like the lion or the elephant. Made to do stupid acts to thrill ignorant people, these animals undergo starvation and beatings before they learn to perform an act.
Do not visit the circus.
Birds and Animals - have the same emotions like us
- have the same families like ours
- feel pain and joy like we do.
Your awareness can support life as precious as ours.
