Vegan activewear? That’s right, because animal-derived materials like merino wool just might be lurking in your favorite pair of leggings or workout top. Merino sheep used for their wool are bred to produce more of it than their bodies need. Many of them collapse and even die of heat exhaustion during warm weather. This is only one of the many ways that sheep suffer and die at the hands of humans who only want to make a profit off them. There’s no reason to choose activewear made from merino wool, especially with so many innovative fabrics that don’t harm animals and are also much more eco-friendly, since the wool industry causes greenhouse-gas emissions, land degradation, and water pollution.
Here are some brands offering eco-friendly, vegan activewear:
Harvest & Mill aces essential basics, like 100% vegan and organic cotton tops, sweatpants, shorts, and joggers that will infuse your workouts with style and comfort.
Girlfriend Collective offers size-inclusive leggings, sports bras, shorts, skorts, jackets, and more in a variety of colors. Its popular Compressive High-Rise Leggings are made from 25 recycled post-consumer plastic bottles, and other items are made from recycled polyester, nylon, and textile waste from the cotton industry.
As a vegan brand dedicated to becoming 100% zero waste, Plant Athletic uses as many recycled materials as possible in its products. It primarily focuses on high-performance clothes made for cycling, running, and triathlons.
Organic, fair-trade cotton is the secret to Pact’s super-soft leggings, tops, sports bras, and more.
This luxury brand uses sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, hemp, and a recycled fabric made from marine plastic to create its swimsuits, leggings, tops, and sports bras.
This body-positive U.K. brand offers international shipping on its high-quality athletic wear made from upcycled materials.
Elle Evans’ activewear uses recycled marine plastic, so it helps prevent marine animals from being subjected to yet more of the deadly plastic that litters our oceans.
Organic cotton, bamboo, and soy are a few of the sustainable plant fibers that you’ll see in Miakoda’s athletic wear. The company uses only vegan fabrics, so you can be sure that you’re not supporting the cruel wool industry.
Los Angeles–based clothing company Nube partners with artists to create gorgeous and bold prints. All its pieces feature sustainable fabrics, such as recycled polyester.

Pistol Lake’s proprietary fabric Eudae is made from recycled bottles, eucalyptus pulp, and spandex for a mix that’s moisture wicking, odor resistant, and super-soft.
Keep animal skins off your feet, too—choose leather-free hiking boots instead. For cold-weather workouts outdoors, choose down-free coats and jackets to stay warm and cozy.

Norfolk, Va. – Ahead of Winter Weather Awareness Week (November 2 to 6), PETA is sharing tips for keeping animals safe. They are especially vulnerable in cold weather, and there were at least 37 cold weather–related companion animal deaths in 2019. (Those are just the ones that were reported—most aren’t.)
The following steps can go a long way in helping animals survive Tennessee’s fierce winter:
Bring Them Indoors
Companion animals should always live indoors. “Backyard dogs” and “outdoor cats”—like those featured in Breaking the Chain, the new documentary produced by Oscar winner Anjelica Huston—often go without adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinary care. They are no better equipped to survive freezing temperatures or extreme weather conditions than humans are, they suffer terribly from frostbite, and they can die of exposure.
Gear Up
Coats will keep dogs comfortable in cold weather, secure harnesses can help prevent them from getting loose on walks, and booties will protect their sensitive paw pads from the frozen ground. Keep walks short in cold weather, especially for shorthaired dogs.
Don’t Forget Birds
During extreme winter weather, provide birds and other wild animals with access to an emergency water supply by filling a heavy nonmetal water bowl (tongues can freeze to metal) and breaking the surface ice at least twice a day.
Good Samaritans who see companion animals kept chained or penned outside 24/7 or without adequate shelter from the elements should note the animals’ exact location and alert local law-enforcement authorities immediately. Anyone who leaves animals outside to suffer in severe weather may be prosecuted.

Tri-State Zoo Owner Robert Candy and Counsel Nevin Young Sanctioned in Endangered Species Lawsuit PETA Won That Had Resulted in Transfer of Big Cats Cumberland , Md .

Cumberland, Md. – On October 29, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland ordered Tri-State Zoological Park of Western Maryland, Inc.; Animal Park, Care & Rescue, Inc.; their owner, Robert Candy; and their counsel, Nevin Young, to pay $56,655.77 in fees and costs to PETA within 180 days.
The award is connected to a motion for sanctions that PETA filed after defendant Candy, with assistance from his lawyer, tried unsuccessfully to silence PETA’s critical fact witnesses days before the group’s Endangered Species Act lawsuit against Tri-State went to trial. PETA won that lawsuit, resulting in the transfer of three big cats to an accredited sanctuary in Colorado and a ruling prohibiting the roadside zoo from owning or possessing endangered or threatened species. Tri-State’s appeal remains pending.
“This award is another example of the court’s clamping down on Robert Candy’s brazen disregard for the law and for animals’ welfare,” says PETA Foundation Deputy General Counsel for Captive Animal Law Enforcement Brittany Peet. “PETA looks forward to securing the release of all the animals still held at this shoddy roadside zoo.”
PETA and concerned citizen Constance Collins are now involved in a new lawsuit against Tri-State alleging that the roadside zoo frequently denies the more than 100 animals currently in its custody timely veterinary treatment, daily care from qualified staff, sufficient enrichment, proper food and clean water, and even adequate shelter. The facility also fails to house animals—including Dodger, a monkey confined alone who was observed picking skin off his tail until it started to bleed—in social groups that meet their species-specific needs.
The suit contends that such neglect and mistreatment of animals violates state law and constitutes a public nuisance, and it asks the court to order that the remaining animals be transferred to reputable facilities immediately.

Norfolk, Va. – Below, please find a statement from PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman in response to reports that ExxonMobil, one of the last remaining top sponsors of the deadly Iditarod dog race, has reported its third consecutive quarter of losses:
Exxon is bleeding profits and laying off its workers, yet it’s still pumping money—to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars a year—into the cruel Iditarod dog race, in which dogs are forced to run so far and so fast that some die after inhaling their own vomit. This struggling company would be wise to listen to PETA and cut ties with the race—a move that would drive people to its gas stations, not away from them.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to use for entertainment”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. More information about the group’s campaign against ExxonMobil is available on PETA’s website as well as here and here.

It’s the PETA victory everyone’s talking about, including USA Today, CNN, and comedian Stephen Colbert: Costco cut ties with coconut milk producer Chaokoh after discussions with PETA and hearing from thousands of our kind supporters.
During The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Friday, the television host talked about how “Costco is pulling products from its shelves that are allegedly made with forced monkey labor.” Colbert appeared dumbfounded, replying to his own question (“Forced monkey labor?”) with a simple statement: “That’s terrible. Monkeys should never be used as forced labor.”
“The product in question is Chaokoh brand coconut milk, which allegedly is made with the help of chained-up monkeys who pick around 400 coconuts a day and are then stuffed in their cages until their next shift,” Colbert explained to his audience.
While The Late Show host never strayed far from humor, he did pause for a serious moment to “reiterate [his] firm position”: “Exploiting monkeys is abuse, it’s wrong, it’s never acceptable,” he stated simply. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
Exploiting Monkeys Is Abuse …
… and Colbert isn’t the only one who knows it: Costco, Walgreens, Food Lion, Stop & Shop, and thousands of other stores have banned coconut milk brands that use monkey labor.
In July, PETA Asia blew the lid off the Thai coconut industry’s use of captive monkeys—a shocking investigation revealed that terrified young monkeys in Thailand are kept chained, abusively trained, and forced to climb trees to pick coconuts that are used to make coconut milk and other products (not coconut sugar or coconut water), including some sold in the U.S.

Some monkeys are reportedly illegally abducted from their families and homes when they’re just babies. Monkeys who may try to defend themselves might have their canine teeth pulled out. It’s why so many people are choosing to leave Chaokoh coconut milk and the brand’s other exploitative coconut products on the shelf, instead opting for brands that don’t use coconuts that monkeys were forced to pick.

PETA’s “pig” is hoping to win “votes” for animal-friendly meals by reminding everyone that live-animal meat markets—like the one in which the current pandemic is believed to have originated—are well-documented breeding grounds for zoonotic pathogens and that slaughterhouses are COVID-19 hotspots, with many cases reported among workers.
“Eating beans, not beings, is the ticket to improving health, avoiding cruelty to animals, and safeguarding our planet,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA’s ‘pig’ says that all of us will be winners when there’s a soy chicken in every pot.”
Each person who goes vegan spares the lives of nearly 200 animals every year, helps combat animal agriculture–induced climate change, and lowers their risk of suffering from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity.
Note: PETA supports animal rights, opposes all forms of animal exploitation, and provides the public with information on these issues. The group does not directly or indirectly participate or intervene in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office or any political party.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—opposes speciesism, which is a human-supremacist worldview. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

Norfolk, Va. – Ahead of Severe Winter Weather Awareness Week in Wisconsin (November 9 to 13), PETA is offering tips for keeping animals safe. Animals are especially vulnerable in cold weather, and there were at least 37 cold weather–related companion animal deaths in 2019. (Those are just the ones that were reported—most aren’t.)
The following steps can go a long way in helping animals survive the fierce winter:
Bring Them Indoors
Companion animals should always live indoors. “ Backyard dogs ” and “outdoor cats”—like those featured in Breaking the Chain, the new documentary produced by Oscar winner Anjelica Huston—often go without adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinary care. They are no better equipped to survive freezing temperatures or extreme weather conditions than humans are, they suffer terribly from frostbite, and they can die of exposure.
Gear Up
Coats will keep dogs comfortable in cold weather, secure harnesses can help prevent them from getting loose on walks, and booties will protect their sensitive paw pads from the frozen ground. Keep walks short in cold weather, especially for shorthaired dogs.
Don’t Forget Birds
During extreme winter weather, provide birds and other wild animals with access to an emergency water supply by filling a heavy nonmetal water bowl (tongues can freeze to metal) and breaking the surface ice at least twice a day.
Good Samaritans who see companion animals kept chained or penned outside 24/7 or without adequate shelter from the elements should note the animals’ exact location and alert local law-enforcement authorities immediately.

PETA’s exposé of the alpaca industry revealed that workers hit, kicked, tied down, and mutilated pregnant alpacas in Peru, the world’s top alpaca producer. And the group’s exposé of the mohair industry revealed that workers dragged, threw around, mutilated, and even cut the throats of fully conscious goats. In both industries, the reckless shearing process left the animals bleeding from deep wounds that workers crudely stitched back up.
“Today’s kind shoppers know that no sweater or scarf is worth mutilating and killing a goat or an alpaca,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA is calling on Kate Spade to stop selling the few items it makes with alpaca fleece and mohair—a small change that would make a huge difference for animals.”

petapeoplefortheethicaltreatmentofanimals--2020-11-03--EXCLUSIVE: NIH Officials Draw Fat Paychecks As Animal Tests Fail

Tormenting animals under the guise of “ scientific research ” is apparently a profitable endeavor , a PETA review of National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) employees ’ salary has found .
These experimenters and officials aren ’ t just big earners at NIH—their salaries are among the highest in the nation .
The director of NIH , the director of the National Institute of Mental Health ( NIMH ) , and a longtime monkey experimenter are all sitting pretty at the top of the nation ’ s income pyramid .
As they receive your tax dollars , animals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and preventable deaths .
NIMH director Joshua Gordon collected a comfortable $ 337,000 in taxpayer money in 2019 .
His steep salary puts him solidly among the top 5 % of earners in the U.S. , as entrance to this exclusive club starts at around $ 309,000 .
His salary hasn ’ t dipped below $ 310,000 since at least 2016 .
He has collected just shy of a cool $ 1 million over the last four years .
NIH director Francis Collins accepted $ 205,000 in taxpayer money in 2019 .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since 2015 , making him a member of the top 10 % of wage earners in the nation .
Collins , of course , oversees NIH and its $ 42 billion annual budget ( consisting entirely of taxpayer dollars ) .
Nearly half the agency ’ s research funding budget is allocated for pointless animal experimentation .
Reality check : More than 90 % of findings from basic research , most of which involves experiments on animals , never lead to human treatments .
In 2020 , NIH squandered more than $ 17.6 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s an epic failure and a colossal waste of money .
Elisabeth Murray , the NIMH experimenter who torments brain-damaged monkeys with fake snakes and spiders , walked away with $ 245,000 in 2019 .
She has earned no less than $ 212,000 since 2015—when she also took home a $ 1,000 bonus .
Like Gordon , she can count herself among the nation ’ s top 5 % of wage earners .
For more than 30 years , Murray has brain-damaged monkeys and subjected them to loneliness , depression , and anxiety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ footage of her terrorizing these animals by exposing them to realistic-looking snakes and spiders .
Her cruel and pointless experiments have yielded no treatments or cures for humans .
Under Gordon , NIMH throws money hand over fist at junk science .
In addition to the $ 36 million it has used to fund Murray ’ s grotesque experiments over the past 13 years , funding for a battery of useless tests on other animals continues to be supplied by the agency .
These tests include the widely discredited forced swim test , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are placed in inescapable beakers filled with water and made to swim to keep from drowning .
NIMH also uses the tail suspension test—in which mice are hung upside down by the tail—and the foot shock test , in which mice or rats are shocked inside a locked chamber with an electrified floor .
The agency uses these experiments to test new medications for human depression , even though the results are highly unreliable—they ’ re no more predictive of human responses to drugs than a coin toss .
In fact , 95 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials .
Collins , Gordon , and Murray are allowed to continue cashing in on the needless pain and suffering of animals , despite the failure of these methods to produce real-world solutions to human problems .
It ’ s time to hold these people accountable for their actions .
Please add your voice to ours : Tell NIH That You Won ’ t Tolerate the Torment of Monkeys

Tormenting animals under the guise of “scientific research” is apparently a profitable endeavor, a PETA review of National Institutes of Health (NIH) employees’ salary has found.

Reality check: More than 90% of findings from basic research, most of which involves experiments on animals, never lead to human treatments.
In 2020, NIH squandered more than $17.6 billion on animal experiments. That’s an epic failure and a colossal waste of money.
Elisabeth Murray, the NIMH experimenter who torments brain-damaged monkeys with fake snakes and spiders, walked away with $245,000 in 2019. She has earned no less than $212,000 since 2015—when she also took home a $1,000 bonus. Like Collins, she can count herself among the nation’s top 10% of wage earners.
For more than 30 years, Murray has brain-damaged monkeys and subjected them to loneliness, depression, and anxiety in laboratory cages. PETA released video footage of her terrorizing these animals by exposing them to realistic-looking snakes and spiders. Her cruel and pointless experiments have yielded no treatments or cures for humans.
Under Gordon, NIMH throws money hand over fist at junk science. In addition to the $36 million it has used to fund Murray’s grotesque experiments over the past 13 years, funding for a battery of useless tests on other animals continues to be supplied by the agency. These tests include the widely discredited forced swim test, in which mice and other small animals are placed in inescapable beakers filled with water and made to swim to keep from drowning. NIMH also uses the tail suspension test—in which mice are hung upside down by the tail—and the foot shock test, in which mice or rats are shocked inside a locked chamber with an electrified floor.
The agency uses these experiments to test new medications for human depression, even though the results are highly unreliable—they’re no more predictive of human responses to drugs than a coin toss.
In fact, 95% of new pharmaceutical drugs that test safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials.
Collins, Gordon, and Murray are allowed to continue cashing in on the needless pain and suffering of animals, despite the failure of these methods to produce real-world solutions to human problems.
It’s time to hold these people accountable for their actions. Please add your voice to ours:


petapeoplefortheethicaltreatmentofanimals--2020-11-03--Challenging Speciesism in English Language Arts (Grades 6–12)

In December 2018 , PETA took to social media to ask people to start “ bringing home the bagels ” instead of the “ bacon.
” Judging by some folks ’ reactions , you would have thought that we had opened a can of worms Pandora ’ s box .
With so much negativity in the world , why not use language in a way that encourages kindness to animals ?
You may cringe now when you accidentally say “ kill two birds with one stone , ” but the English language is riddled with conventions that reinforce speciesism , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other animal species are inferior to humans .
Educators must recognize that their students are picking up on things they say—for better or for worse .
Trouble can arise when seemingly inconsequential conversations take on a deeper meaning in their mind and influence their view of others in unintended ways .
Since we all want to instill compassion in our students , here are some easy ways to be mindful of the way you and your students think , speak , and write about animals : Kind people do not support dogfighting , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I don ’ t have a dog in this fight.
” Many of us grew up hearing common phrases like this that trivialize violence toward animals .
Other cringeworthy anti-animal phrases include “ beat a dead horse ” and “ more than one way to skin a cat.
” These old sayings are often repeated in classrooms during lessons on literary devices .
While they may seem harmless , they do carry meaning and can send mixed signals to students about the relationship between humans and animals , normalizing abuse .
Instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , use these modern , animal-friendly idioms to teach your students the importance of choosing words carefully and the power that language holds to help or hurt others .
You could also have students create their own artwork depicting other animal-friendly idioms using PETA ’ s complete list .
The Associated Press Stylebook currently recommends the use of the pronoun “ it ” for animals who haven ’ t been given a name or had their sex identified by humans .
This is ridiculous , considering that the billions of animals on our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have unique personalities , likes and dislikes , and the ability to feel pain and suffer .
The stylebook offers “ The cat , which was scared , ran to its basket , ” but this language suggests that the cat is a “ thing , ” in the same category as the basket—not an individual with thoughts and feelings .
To encourage your students to be more considerate of animals in their writing and speech , teach them to use the personal pronouns “ he ” or “ she ” for all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as an acceptable pronoun for an animal of unknown sex ) .
To practice this , you could have students read an article about animals that refers to them as “ it , ” highlighting all the pronouns as they go , and then have them rewrite it using only personal pronouns to refer to the animals .
Having trouble breaking the bad habit of using “ it ” when referring to animals ?
Create a classroom “ It Jar ” !
Because Dictionary.com incorrectly defines the word “ animal ” as “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human being , ” PETA sent a letter pointing out that humans are also animals and asking the dictionary to change the word ’ s definitions to reflect that .
Current definitions foster a divide between humans and other animals that fuels speciesism .
But when it comes to fundamental feelings like happiness , pain , love , and fear—we ’ re all alike .
When studying connotation and denotation , have students discuss the negative connotations of words like “ beast , ” “ vermin , ” and “ pest ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Using terms like “ chicken , ” “ pig , ” “ whale , ” “ snake , ” and “ dog ” as insults is a form of bullying that is harmful to humans , but it also denigrates and belittles other species , who are interesting , feeling individuals , undeserving of being viewed in a negative light .
Plus , the implied assumptions about animals are often inaccurate .
For example , chickens fiercely defend their young from predators—they ’ re not so cowardly after all .
Have students @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and similes ( e.g.
, “ they ’ re as stubborn as mules , ” “ stop being such a pig , ” “ she ’ s a real dog , ” “ I ’ ll be the guinea pig , ” and “ he was as mad as a hornet ” ) .
For each one , have them consider the following : • What is the intended meaning of this metaphor or simile ?
Example : To be called a “ rat ” suggests that a person is disloyal .
• @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meaning ?
Example : As experimenters have subjected rats to cruel experiment after cruel experiment , they ’ ve discovered that the animals exhibit empathy for one another and try to help each other out .
Rats help other rats—even those who are unfamiliar to them .
• How can this metaphor or simile be reworded so that animals aren ’ t denigrated ?
Example : “ Tattletale ” and “ snitch ” are both synonyms for this use of the word “ rat.
” You could also have students research metaphors and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( e.g.
, “ he ’ s as strong as an ox , ” “ I was as busy as a bee , ” “ she has a real eagle eye , ” and “ he ’ s definitely a shark ” ) or create their own , based on amazing animal facts .
The words that we use have the power to influence those around us .
We internalize their meanings—whether consciously or unconsciously—and act upon them .
We now know that all animals have the ability to reason , have their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solve problems by means that we can ’ t always understand—yet many still suffer terribly at the hands of humans .
Unlearning speciesism takes time—so keep the conversation going with Challenging Assumptions , TeachKind ’ s social justice curriculum for grades 9 to 12 .
The lessons are designed to educate and empower students to challenge societal norms and inspire compassion and empathy toward others regardless of species , race , gender , sexual identity , age , or ability .

How to Teach Inclusive Language
You may cringe now when you accidentally say “kill two birds with one stone,” but the English language is riddled with conventions that reinforce speciesism, the harmful and misguided belief that all other animal species are inferior to humans. Educators must recognize that their students are picking up on things they say—for better or for worse. Trouble can arise when seemingly inconsequential conversations take on a deeper meaning in their mind and influence their view of others in unintended ways. Since we all want to instill compassion in our students, here are some easy ways to be mindful of the way you and your students think, speak, and write about animals:
Animal-Friendly Idioms
Kind people do not support dogfighting, yet many kind people use the expression “I don’t have a dog in this fight.” Many of us grew up hearing common phrases like this that trivialize violence toward animals. Other cringeworthy anti-animal phrases include “beat a dead horse” and “more than one way to skin a cat.” These old sayings are often repeated in classrooms during lessons on literary devices. While they may seem harmless, they do carry meaning and can send mixed signals to students about the relationship between humans and animals, normalizing abuse.
Instead of perpetuating these outdated and harmful phrases, use these modern, animal-friendly idioms to teach your students the importance of choosing words carefully and the power that language holds to help or hurt others. You could also have students create their own artwork depicting other animal-friendly idioms using PETA’s complete list.
Pronouns Are Important
The Associated Press Stylebook currently recommends the use of the pronoun “it” for animals who haven’t been given a name or had their sex identified by humans. This is ridiculous, considering that the billions of animals on our planet are not inanimate objects but instead have unique personalities, likes and dislikes, and the ability to feel pain and suffer. The stylebook offers “The cat, which was scared, ran to its basket,” but this language suggests that the cat is a “thing,” in the same category as the basket—not an individual with thoughts and feelings. To encourage your students to be more considerate of animals in their writing and speech, teach them to use the personal pronouns “he” or “she” for all animals (along with “they” as an acceptable pronoun for an animal of unknown sex). To practice this, you could have students read an article about animals that refers to them as “it,” highlighting all the pronouns as they go, and then have them rewrite it using only personal pronouns to refer to the animals.
Having trouble breaking the bad habit of using “it” when referring to animals? Create a classroom “It Jar”!
Redefining Language
Because Dictionary.com incorrectly defines the word “animal” as “any … living thing other than a human being,” PETA sent a letter pointing out that humans are also animals and asking the dictionary to change the word’s definitions to reflect that. Current definitions foster a divide between humans and other animals that fuels speciesism. But when it comes to fundamental feelings like happiness, pain, love, and fear—we’re all alike.
When studying connotation and denotation, have students discuss the negative connotations of words like “beast,” “vermin,” and “pest” and how they can be harmful to animals.
PETA wants https://t.co/tcZA4mR5vg to change definition of "animal," says it's "speciesist" https://t.co/67YQmOl3Zn — Newsweek (@Newsweek) October 22, 2019
Metaphors and Similes
Using terms like “chicken,” “pig,” “whale,” “snake,” and “dog” as insults is a form of bullying that is harmful to humans, but it also denigrates and belittles other species, who are interesting, feeling individuals, undeserving of being viewed in a negative light. Plus, the implied assumptions about animals are often inaccurate. For example, chickens fiercely defend their young from predators—they’re not so cowardly after all. Have students create a list of common animal-related metaphors and similes (e.g., “they’re as stubborn as mules,” “stop being such a pig,” “she’s a real dog,” “I’ll be the guinea pig,” and “he was as mad as a hornet”). For each one, have them consider the following:
What is the intended meaning of this metaphor or simile?
Example: To be called a “rat” suggests that a person is disloyal.
Example: To be called a “rat” suggests that a person is disloyal. What evidence exists to disprove the intended meaning?
Example: As experimenters have subjected rats to cruel experiment after cruel experiment, they’ve discovered that the animals exhibit empathy for one another and try to help each other out. Rats help other rats—even those who are unfamiliar to them.

You could also have students research metaphors and similes that celebrate animals and their abilities (e.g., “he’s as strong as an ox,” “I was as busy as a bee,” “she has a real eagle eye,” and “he’s definitely a shark”) or create their own, based on amazing animal facts.
*****
The words that we use have the power to influence those around us. We internalize their meanings—whether consciously or unconsciously—and act upon them. We now know that all animals have the ability to reason, have their own forms of communication, and can solve problems by means that we can’t always understand—yet many still suffer terribly at the hands of humans.

Rinsing away the sweat, dirt, and makeup from the day requires a little more effort than a quick splash of water. Before you start your nighttime skin-care routine, you’ll want to make sure that all your makeup is removed to prevent clogged pores and breakouts. Unfortunately, some makeup removers out there are still tested on animals or contain ingredients that come from animal exploitation. To help you choose a makeup remover that works for you, here is a list of cruelty-free makeup removers:
Cleansing Oils
SheaMoisture never tests on animals, and this product is vegan and made with 100% extra virgin coconut oil. It’s also rich in vitamin E, which nourishes the skin.
Dr. Bronner’s Coconut Oil can be used pretty much for anything, from cooking food to conditioning hair. It’s also a handy makeup remover that will do the job well while being gentle on your skin.
When it comes to facial cleansing oils, there can be some hidden animal-derived ingredients that you may not know about, like oil from the fat of butchered minks. This formula leaves the unnecessary exploitation behind, combining argan oil and coconut oil to melt makeup off easily, without leaving an oily residue.
Infused with rosehip oil, camellia oil, shea butter, and tons of nourishing vitamins, this cleansing balm dissolves makeup without drying out the skin. It’s also totally vegan, so your fresh skin won’t come at the cost of animal well-being.
This vegan makeup remover is great for removing the residue from a full-glam makeup look, including waterproof formulas that can be tricky to get off.

In nonvegan cosmetics, collagen is produced from the tissue of cows, horses, pigs, and even fish. The Pacifica collagen line is made with fermented plant-based ingredients for a clean and ethical product that you can count on.
This dry/wet jelly cleanser is wonderfully soothing and free of parabens and sulfates. The formula is infused with apple and oat amino acids instead of snail mucus, so you can avoid snail harvesting and breeding practices—that is, agitating snails in order to extract the mucus they produce as a self-defense mechanism—that go into many other gel-based skin-care products.
This cleanser is packed with aloe vera, cucumber fruit extract, coconut fruit juice, and vitamin B 5 to break down makeup and condition your skin.
This formula has nutrients derived from pomegranate, blackberry, and acai to get rid of excess makeup without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
Cleansing Wipes
These vegan cloths, infused with aloe vera and vitamin E, are perfect to take with you on the go or when traveling.
The Original MakeUp Eraser looks like your average washcloth, but it has special soft fibers that remove makeup with ease—all you have to do is add water. This reusable cloth is a great sustainable, vegan option that saves money. It can be found at Walmart, CVS, Amazon, and Ulta.
These rinse-free towelettes are a 100% vegan essential. Take them on the go to wipe off makeup or just to freshen up.
These wipes work wonderfully on sensitive skin and are cruelty-free, plant-based, and compostable!
Micellar Water
The Pacifica micellar cleanser is fortified with kale extract, glycolic acid, calendula, and grapefruit water to promote a clean, makeup-free face.
