5. Purchase personal care products that are not tested on animals. Read labels. Make it your policy. It might cost a bit more, but you won't be putting your money in the hands of research laboratories that use dogs, cats and other animals to test products. Many dogs and cats in laboratories are suspected of being stolen from homes and sold to research facilities. If a pet of yours has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, you’ll understand why this industry practice must be stopped.

Help relieve animal suffering consistently as you travel through your busy days, and the essence of loving kindness will shine in your heart. The "u" in humane also means uplift.
