Five Ways That Kids Can Fight Animal Testing
Five Ways That Kids Can Fight Animal Testing

1

Take Our Pledge to Go Cruelty-Free!
The first step in stopping animal testing is to pledge that you won't buy products that are tested on animals. Take our pledge to be cruelty-free and share it with your friends and family. Taking the pledge with someone is a great way to spread the word about animal testing. Plus, you get a cruelty-free buddy to speak out for animals with you!


2

Start at Home
Take our quiz to find out if your morning routine is cruelty-free. It's easy—just look at all the beauty and cleaning products in your home and see if they say, "Not tested on animals." If they do, great job! You already have a head start. If not, don't worry, you now know how awful animal testing is, and you are already working to make a difference.


3

Replace
Use our handy cruelty-free list to find replacement products that have not been tested on animals. It is super-simple, and once you know which products to get, you will be zooming through the store in cruelty-free style in no time!


Make Your Voice Heard
Gather every product that you replaced and ask an adult to help you write to the companies that made them. Tell the companies that you will no longer be purchasing their products because you were horrified to find out that they were tested on animals. You can even mail the companies' products back to them. Ask for a refund! You may not actually get your money back, but it will send a strong message to the companies that their animal testing made them lose a customer (and profits!).


5

Spread the Word!
Tell your friends and family about animal testing and encourage them to buy only cruelty-free products. Hand out stickers and leaflets to your friends at school, church, and extracurricular activities. If you convince three people to go cruelty-free, and they, in turn, convince three people—that means 12 people (!) are helping you save animals from cosmetics testing. That's a lot of change from only three leaflets!
