I chalked it up to my humanities background (we don’t often use animals for ANYTHING involving our research interests) and let it lie. As I mentioned on Facebook, my lip gloss shouldn’t double as a torture device. didn’t sit right with me. I can’t stop a faculty member from doing research that I don’t agree with, and I can’t overhaul the lives of everyone around me, but as a beauty product enthusiast, I can stand to look good while practicing some good old fashioned ethics. To do what, exactly? To pledge to use only cruelty free cosmetics and household items. Surfing the net allows me to catch up with some amazing blogs and I immediately felt inspired by my fellow beauty and lifestyle community. I’m a professor who is stuck in the snow, hasn’t seen her students in a week, and has nothing better to do than waste time on the Internet, do Yoga in the living room, and experiment with baking recipes.
I was bothered by it and I can’t quite place my finger on WHY I was bothered by it, but it just wasn’t sitting right with me.įast forward to last week. It started when I read a proposal request and learned about a faculty member’s research proposal that would involve animals. All kinds! Cute little kittens, chubby bunnies, and fluffy little ducklings. For the past few months something has been in the back of my mind: animals.
