[edit] Beginnings of the movement
The cruelty-free movement has developed from veganism into a philosophy of life which aims to avoid all the products of cruelty to humans or animals.
[edit] Products Avoided
Products avoided include those which contain part of a dead animal, those which contain materials obtained from an animal by means of cruelty (such as keeping the animal in a confined space or separating mother from child etc.). Also avoided are the products of child slavery and sweatshop labour.
