Veg Wisdom
Being vegan is about living my life with integrity and
compassion. It's about creating joy, and kindness, and
meaning in a world so filled with violence and
despair. Do what you're able to do. Don't do nothing because
you can't do everything. Each step will bring you
closer to the person you really want to be, and to the
animals you really want to help. - Colleen Patrick Goudreau - The Compassionate Cook

Veg Wisdom
If an animal does something, we call it instinct; if we do the same thing for the same reason, we call it intelligence. - Will Cuppy, American humorist and literary critic (1884-1949)
Take the Leap to Cruelty-Free Products!
Make a commitment to eliminate animal testing by pledging to only purchase products approved by the Leaping Bunny Program, which provides the best assurance that no new animal testing is used in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories, or suppliers. The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics' (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Program administers a cruelty-free standard and the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny Logo for companies producing cosmetic, personal care, and household products.
