Overlaid over an image of “God Touching Adam” from the Sistine Chapel ceiling are the words “History of veganism part 3”.

The Renaissance was a time of innovation and revolution within art, architecture, politics, science, astronomy, literature, and—veganism? Learn how the rise of humanistic individuality led to the acknowledgement of non-humans as individuals as well.

Vegans In The Renaissance | The History of Veganism Part Three

Against a dark background, from the right-hand side, a hand and forearm can be seen. The hand is holding the string of a dangling tampon between a finger and thumb.

Are tampons vegan? Are they even safe? This may seem like an odd question at first glance, but the answers may surprise you.

What are the alternatives to animal testing? Let's look into the three main alternatives, which are actually cheaper and more effective than animal models!

Alternatives to Animal Testing

The image shows a close-up of hand. The hand is shown against the back drop of a hospital bed and has a drip needle inserted into the wrist. A caring hand and arm is seen holding the persons hand and giving comfort.

Perhaps the most perverse aspect of the animal testing debate is the fact that not only does animal testing not advance medicine—it actually harms and, in many cases, kills the humans it's said to benefit.

The Human Cost of Animal Testing

The image shows a two banks of beautiful white rabbits. Each bank contains twenty rabbits. They each are locked into small boxes and immobalized. Only their heads are visible.

Non-animal tests are generally more reliable, less costly, and always more humane. So, why are we still testing on animals? Let's review the top three reasons, including how you are paying for it!

Why Are We Still Testing On Animals?

The image shows two small monkeys trapped in Perspex boxes. Their heads are poking through the top and a clamp is pressing against their necks to prevent them from moving their head.

Is animal testing effective? Is it scientifically viable? Can research on animals save human lives? If so, then vivisection would only be opposable on moral and ethical grounds...not scientific ones.

    How Many Animals Do We Kill Every Year?

    The numbers in this video are shocking. We are great at counting calories, measuring profits, quantifying just about anything. But when it comes to knowing our impact on other beings, we fall short. How many animals do we eat every year?
