Screaming Alpacas and Bleeding Sheep—Why Won't These Companies End the Cruelty?

Image of screaming alpaca being held down and shorn.

Urban Outfitters: The Face of Fashion Is Fear

Alpacas are tied down and mutilated for fleece, sheep are beaten and cut up in shearing sheds for their wool, goats scream in pain as their hair is torn out, and calves are branded on the face for leather. Selling animal-derived materials always supports suffering. Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Free People already sell a variety of luxurious animal-free textiles. So what's stopping them from removing all animal-derived products from their stores?

END THE ABUSE AND GO VEGAN

5 Ways to Urge Johns Hopkins to End Cruel Brain Tests on Owls

Johns Hopkins University experimenter Shreesh Mysore cuts into the skulls of barn owls, inserts electrodes into their brains, forces them to look at screens for hours a day, and bombards them with noises and lights—and pretends that doing this will tell us something about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in humans.

Importance of Water Softener in the House

Why Have A Water Softener?

A water softener is a whole-house filtration system that removes hardness-causing calcium and magnesium minerals from your water through a process called ion exchange. A water softener addresses one of the most prevalent and devastating water problems: hard water. Hard water wreaks havoc on the modern home. Scale builds up in your pipes, clogging them and decreasing water pressure. Scale dramatically shortens the lifespan of appliances like dishwashers, coffee makers and ice machines.

Water Softener Benefits

Without a water softener, laundry demands extra detergent to prevent it from looking dingy. Dishes will come out of your dishwasher streaked and stained. Filmy scum builds up on your shower curtains and your soap and shampoo will not lather. Bathing in hard water leaves your skin itchy and dry and your hair lifeless and sticky. The sheer amount of time, energy, and money required to clean up the detrimental side effects of hard water is dizzying. A whole house water softener is the solution to the scourge of water hardness.

Whole House Water System

Did you know that your water can be classified as "hard" if it contains at least 60mg of dissolved calcium and magnesium? In some areas, this number can go as high as 180mg. Defeating the hardness of water is not such a tough challenge but the rewards of it are simply great. You will be needing only one cool device and all those problems with ashy skin, stained dishes and spotty laundry will be gone.
