Im a member of the beauty101 lj group and a while back someone posted a link to cruelty free beauty products. I was completely shocked by the backlash against her. People were actually posting things like they "have the RIGHT to hurt animals if they wanted", or "go away hippy, we eat animals here". Im not a vegetarian but I believe in being as environmentally friendly as possible. I was a little shaken by the pure vitriol at even the suggestion of being cruelty free. The OP wasn't even being soap boxy about it. it was more a "hey guys, heres a list if youre interested." great question, by the way.
That is just epically not cool. And eating meat is NOT a justification for treating animals with cruelty, and I say that as someone who would kill a cow for her steaks herself, if she had too.
