Bunny Crueltea


I found out recently that Lipton test their tea's on Bunnies (and rats and piglets too). I never wuld have thought anyone would be testing tea.. it seems so innocent! But what they do is feed the animals really unhealthy foods to make their arteries clog and give them bacterial diseases and then test if drinking tea helps them get better. But ultimately they get rid of the animals. It's disgusting.

I'm never buying lipton anything ever again. I'll continue enjoying twinnings!


think before you drink

Also it's not just animals they treat badly. I recently watched a doco on the rights and living conditions of that pick tea and it wasn't nice.

I've been making my own peppermint tea, I should send you up some. Though heads up Nickel (my bunny) is at my feet when I'm making it and loves the odd peppermint leaf.
