traffickers. They also operate a sanctuary for gibbons (the smallest of the apes) in South Carolina

Choose Cruelty Free
Choose Cruelty Free (CCF) is an independent, non-profit organisation which actively promotes a
cruelty-free lifestyle. CCF encourages manufacturers and service providers to adopt a cruelty-free
ethic, surveys companies which claim to sell products that have not been tested on animals and do
not contain cruelly-derived ingredients, and accredits companies which satisfy CCF's criteria.
The website includes a Preferred Products List (PPL) that lists companies (including vegan
companies) and brand names that operate under a cruelty-free ethic and makes available an
independent, consumer recognised logo which manufacturers can incorporate in their labelling and
advertising material to readily identify their companies as cruelty-free.
