The verdict..

After school yesterday when I finally made my way home I was greeted at the door by the most adorable dog ever and that's when I made my final choice. Product testing on animals. Through out the day think of how many household products you use. I know personally I have never bothered to look if they are animal friendly. Maybe I should though. Here is just a few companies that still test their products on animals according to " The Vegetarian Site". Windex, Trogan, Nair, Clorox, Suave, Scotch,  Huggies, Glade, Lipton, Visine, Banana Boat, and so many other.  This information was last updated December 29, 2010.(American Anti-Vivisection Society, Guide to Compassionate Shopping, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals 1999, Consumer Products Companies That Test on Animals). You could be cleaning your house, having sex, shaving your legs, taping a paper together, putting eye drops in, changing a diaper, and not even realize that in all those daily routines, some animal had to suffer for you to do something you are so accustomed to.  On a lighter note, lets look at some of the cutest animals ever so maybe you will check the label :)

Still don't know what I'm going to write about...

Well I Caitlin Matifas am sorry to inform my readers, and my english professor that I am still undecided on what topic my blog will permadently be about. So I'll just give you some thoughts of what I might write about... and update you tonight when I decide. Over the next two years I plan on investing some of my presious at the local community college, and evenutally obtaining a degree in criminal justice. Althought I really would just like to be a stay at home mom, I'll man up and get a job. Anyway back to what this blog could possibly be about, The homeless, cults, womens rights (Dick Masterson), or something that hasn't come to mind yet. Basically I am really bad at making desicons, and if it is something I am going to be writing about for an extended period of time I have to make sure I really am interested in it, otherwise things will not go well. I am leaning towards womens rights, althought I do not think many of the females in here will appreciate or agree with many of my veiws on this topic. I'll let you guys know when I know.

Later Gators,
Caitlin Matifas
