If you're using non-vegan products such as soap, shampoo or certain medicines you are complicit to animal testing as well.


There is a plethora of animal testing-free bathroom products.

As for medicines, I’m not sure what to do about that. Where I draw the line in veganism is essentially where I’d die if I don’t eat the animal. If there’s a necessity, I think it makes some sense. Some medicines are a necessity for people. Yet I don’t like the idea of supporting companies which would likely be testing non-essential medicines on animals as well.

The world isn’t really configured for veganism


I'm not necessarily opposed to animal testing, but I am opposed to whatever Neuralink is doing to get that kind of kill count.


Soap is just saponified fat. Oil + lye. You can use any oil, and e.g. olive oil soaps are super common.


So incredibly easy to find vegan soap and shampoo today. Even in discount stores, like grocery outet.
