We at Naturewatch Foundation love a good blog, both writing them and reading what other organisations are up to, so for this World Blogging Day, we bring you some standouts:
The one that gives you that fuzzy feeling…eventually
‘Resilient beagle who spent years in a laboratory cage finally finds love and a forever family’
Beagle Freedom Project October 2024
The blog we all need to read. When unimaginable cruelty is conquered by compassion, and a future filled with love, for a small beagle named Echo. Echo’s story of survival is a hard read, but it shows that the fight to end animal testing is worth every second of our energy without ever giving up hope. Echo didn’t, we won’t either.
The one to introduce your friends to
‘Why compassionate shopping matters for animals’
Compassionate Shopping Guide April 2024
A perfect write-up for first timers, looking into all this ‘cruelty-free’ business and why their shopping habits can have an instant positive impact on animals.
The one where the truth hurts
‘Trapped animals found dead, unauthorised experiments, mice drowning- welcome to British animal laboratories’
Naturewatch Foundation December 2024
We hear time and time again, ‘But they look after the animals well before they experiment on them’ as a justification for accepting animal testing in the UK. Facts say differently.
Discover the harsh reality of life in a British animal laboratory for millions of animals every single year. We would love not to have to share reality with you, but animals in science have no choice and no voice- we will be their voice.
The one with some science to get your teeth into
Oral care: XCellR8 test of the month
XCellR8 February 2025
XCellR8 is a UK laboratory devoted to animal-free testing of cosmetics, household products, and other chemicals.
Let’s talk toothpaste! We’re told to brush our teeth at least twice a day, yet have you ever thought about the journey of the toothpaste you’re using? Ever found some toothpaste too strong and a tad painful for a split second? Quite simply, the chemicals in your toothpaste will have been tested to determine the irritation levels caused to the skin inside the mouth. This blog discusses how XCellR8 helps to ensure our self-care routines are kept cruelty-free.
The one for the Sunday cleaning session
