Cares: Go Cruelty-Free for Android

After downloading the app I wouldn’t believe everything it says. You should try to do some of your own research too, just to be sure. I personally don’t trust PETA after seeing they took lobsters from a restaurant and dumped them in freshwater. Lobsters are saltwater creatures, so they killed the lobsters. I don’t think PETA really knows what they’re doing. A majority of the resources used in this app are based off PETA so I personally don’t trust the resources used.

It’s easy to use thanks to its simple and clear layout. The information that I have found on this site so far has been completely accurate and it’s convenient to have so much information on such and organized app. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for creating a tool to prevent animal cruelty, and for sharing it with the world. That said, I have a few suggestions, and think there’s a few things you should know. First of all, PETA is actually... pretty terrible, from what I’ve heard. I think they at least used to mean well, but many of their practices are ill informed and end up causing more harm than good. They euthanize hundreds of healthy animals in their shelters, blindly oppose wool from cruelty farmers claiming to believe that it hurts sheep (many farms aren’t great, but shearing a sheep for wool, on its own, is going to leave a few nicks at worst, and not shearing them can easily cause the sheep to overheat and die), and have been known to write of ANY product that comes from an animal, no matter well the animal was treated, as unusable, often in favor of options like micro plastics that are even worse for the environment. I urge you to do your own research and come to your own conclusion, but I feel you deserve to know that you may be citing an organization full of bad information. Secondly... well, let me start by saying that what you’re doing is already so great, and if you want to focus this app on animal cruelty, by all means. But animals aren’t the only ones getting seriously screwed over by many, many global industries. Humans are being widely mistreated too, and it’s even worse and more widespread than you might think. Many companies, even a huge portion of those that don’t mistreat their workers already, carelessly buy ingredients or materials directly from producers that force their workers into hazardous working conditions, pay wages a person could not expect to live off of, or even use child labor. And although it’s pretty common knowledge that slavery still exists in parts of the world, it’s much less common knowledge that it’s used extensively in many products worldwide. The chocolate and diamond industries are some of the biggest offenders, but there are many more. I would love a tool that would be able to identify fair-trade goods, and if you decide you want to put more effort into helping animals and that this is not that app, I understand. You have done more than enough already. But if you do decide you want to add something, that would mean so much too. Thank you for reading, and thank you once again for creating this. It means so much to me and to the world to be able to tell of what we’re buying is cruelty free, and that’s more important now than ever.

I have been on a mission to become completely cruelty free and I thought that I had accomplished this goal. I downloaded this app to double check what brands claim to be cruelty free online and I was shocked by the dishonesty from some companies. Many beauty brands have been bought and sold over the years to bigger manufacturers. The original company could be cruelty free but the main company that bought them is not therefore meaning that brand is not cruelty free. In my eyes that brand even if it’s just a branch should not claim to be cruelty free. With that being said this app will tell you if the brand is owned by a third party and if they test on animals. I had been supporting the brand Burts Bees for a long time thinking they did not test on animals only to find out that clorox (yes, the cleaning brand that is known for their BLEACH products) now owns that brand. Clorox is not cruelty free. They test their chemical, bleach, and toxic filled products that humans are advised to not ingest or leave on their skin on helpless animals. I was devastated to realize I was supporting that but thanks to this app I can correct my mistake and refuse to purchase anymore of their products. Please do your research and use this app as a guide to help find the truth about brands and whether or not they are truely 100% cruelty free. Highly recommend this app.❤️🐰

I used this app to check if my shampoo shows are cruelty free and it says that they test on animals but it shows on PETA and Google that they do not test on animals and are approved by Peta
