This will link you to the logos of some companies that don't test on animals. It's not a *perfect* list because Not Testing varies in degree, but you gotta start somewhere.
WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
Trying to live a practical, but compassionate life towards all living creatures (animal, mineral, vegetable, humanable) without being a self-righteous ass.
NO LONGER HERE

What's Goin' On (long version)
____________________________________
This site is about veganism. Veganism isn't about not eating cheese--it's supposed to represent an attempt to live compassionately. Compassion towards critters, but also The Peoples. I think that if compassion if the goal, then you are obliged to have a care for everyone living on this planet--and for the planet itself.
BUT this blog is not about How Right I Am and How Wrong Everyone Else Is. It's not about how Evil humans are; it's not about decrying the End of the World; it's not about Judging People; it's not about deciding how Others Should Live Their Lives. (I always imagine self-righteousness is spoken in upper case letters.)
It's about my ongoing struggle to practice love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, kindness and temperance. And it's about the fact that this practice is difficult, confusing, and usually contradictory.
There are no easy answers to animal suffering, human suffering, or wealth and power disparities. But we should still look for those answers, right? But with love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, kindness... and a little self-control. ;-)
[See Galatians 5:22. Which is to say: The Bible--the Good Parts Version.]
