PETA's Guide to Compassionate Living

Dear Friend, So you want to learn about easy, healthy, and humane lifestyle choices? That’s great for you – and animals! PETA’s Guide to Compassionate Living offers simple ideas to help you help animals every day – by exploring vegan eating, steering clear of cruelly produced fashion, purchasing only animal friendly household products, and much more. A growing number of people are changing their habits in order to be kinder to animals. The mushrooming demand for vegan eats means that supermarkets – and almost all restaurants – offer scrumptious plant-based options. Hundreds of companies have sworn off animal testing, so finding cruelty-free personal-care and household cleaning items is a cinch – and high-end fashion retailers and department stores display rack after rack of non-leather shoes, bags, and belts. Every day, you can make simple, life-saving changes. Start the morning with a veggie sausage sandwich, grab your wool-free jumper, and greet the day’s endless opportunities to choose kindness over cruelty. You’ll soon realise that your commitment to compassion has a ripple effect – your friends, family, and colleagues will ask you about your cruelty-free lifestyle, and many will follow your lead. PETA can assist you with advice and resources to help you find cruelty-free options. With our Guide to Compassionate Living , you’re off to a great start!

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals, large or small. We believe that animals have the fundamental right to live free of unnecessary pain and suffering and to exist without being turned into fur coats, leather shoes, slabs of meat, or any other human commodity. Therefore, our motto is: Animals ARE NOT OURS to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.

For all animals, Elisa Allen
