Animals are intelligent!

I know, this video has been around for few years now!

But it demonstrates that animals can think and are not only led by their instincts.

Nouveau Vegan

This year, I also want to share with you some blogs that I read.
I started with Mokajo in January, and I still recommend it to you. (It's in French)

The reason why I want to share those blogs is the same one that made me write my own blog.

There is plenty of cruelty free blogs out there, but most of them are Europeans or Americans.
Don't get me wrong, I think they're really nice to read.
But when comes the time to find the products they talk about in Quebec, it's not always available.

That's why I think it's interesting to share the Quebec blogs in order to help people from here that want to have a cruelty free lifestyle.

The blog I want to share is different than mine since it is mostly about food, but is as cruelty free as mine.


Simon shares with us his vegan lifestyle on Nouveau Vegan (in French)

He gives us his impressions about the products he buys.
He talks about recipes he tries, restaurants he gets to and even talked about a book he read lately.

He also writes often, so each time you visit his page, you know for sure you'll find a new post.
I like that!

I read his blog religiously!

I hope you will like it.
If later you look for his blog, it is included in my blog roll that you may find at the top of my blog.

Yesterday, Europe. Today, the world

After the entry into force of the law against animal testing in Europe, we must roll up our sleeves and continue the fight to ensure that tests will be prohibited anywhere in the world asap.

Here is a 37 seconds video from the Humane Society

March 11th, 2013 : The day the world became better!

Today is March 11th, 2013.
Remember that date, it is an historic day.

Now take effect a total ban on selling a product tested on animals in Europe.
Neither the ingredients nor the finished products can be tested.

I must say that this makes me very happy!

Millions of animals will be spared unnecessary suffering and all that is now past history.

However, do not lower the guard!

This law applies only in Europe.
Not in Canada, not in USA.

Not in China.
In that country, animal testing is mandatory.

And do not imagine that L'Oréal & ''friends'' have not found a loophole in the law.

It ain't the brands that have to be cruelty free. 
It is the products.

In other words, L'Oréal & other brands may sell a product in Europe, and another product in China.
And that's what they are doing.

Also, L'Oréal made it clear that they will continue to expand in China.


I see Europe as the first domino falling.


It is THE cosmetic market.
I'm pretty sure that the other countries will follow.

Even China has now a plan over 5 years to replace animal testing by other tests.

Let's keep hope, let's stay courageous.
The war is not over!
