Awesome news.

Good to see Victoria announcing a ban on single use plastic bags finally! Legislation is still to be passed and hopefully its not just the lightweight bags but a step in the right direction. Now NSW c'mon.

The way that hairs are collected for traditional shaving brushes is truly terrible. If the men in your life prefer a traditional shave please encourage them to only use vegan brushes.

We've had a few requests for vegan shaving brushes so we have sourced a couple of really high quality ones. The men at F&F give the thumbs up! For those of you who like a traditional shave these are perfect and make great gifts too. Now at F&F. https://www.floraandfauna.com.au/shaving/

GO 💕💪🐇 ! In research & testing, animals are subjected to experiments that can include everything from testing new drugs to infecting with diseases, poisoning for toxicity testing, burning skin, causing brain damage, implanting electrodes into the brain, maiming, blinding, and other painful and invasive procedures. It can include protocols that cause severe suffering, such as long-term social isolation, electric shocks, withholding of food and water, or repeated breeding and separating of infants from mothers. In toxicity testing, animals used in chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies receive the test substance daily, seven days a week, for up to two years with no recovery periods. Many, if not most, animals die before the end of the study. With the exception of chimpanzees, animals who survive their use in research and testing can be killed after the study is completed

Many animal experiments utilize restraining devices, designed to prevent an animal from moving. Some research projects call for immobilization of specific parts of an animal’s body while other protocols involve immobilization of an animal’s entire body

For all of the animals trapped in labs, their day-to-day existence is traumatic in itself—even without their forced participation in one dreaded protocol after another. They experience ongoing mental and physical suffering from the endless boredom, confinement, fear, and emotional stress of daily laboratory life. Add to this the fear and agony of a procedure, and only then can we start to understand the desperation and pain in which they live, every day—and for most, for their entire lives

One of the most expensive things I've bought recently ($6.49 for this micro tub😱) but seriously yum yum yum Goraw desserts

There are sooooo many better ways to test for skin sensitivity than rubbing a substance on a rabbit or guinea pig's abraded skin and seeing what happens. No product is worth it.

Over one billion coffee cups per year 😱
By my calculations (and if my a-level in math serves me correctly) that's around 40 cups a year for every man, women and child in Australia. ! (She's says while ordering a takeaway - I get the irony 🤗).

Around 500,000 animals are used in tests for cosmetic purposes every year.

I'm inspired everyday by the work of the Beagle Freedom Project! Sometimes the issues seem too huge to make a difference, but they remind me overtime that you can.

Hello I'm Ellie. I was saved by Beagle Freedom Project from some really mean people who were conducting painful experiments on me and I'm so happy that I'm a freagle now!

P.S. if you look carefully you just might spot my sister Carley in this pic.
