Why Choose "Vegan Brushes"?

Is the vegan brush really could be called cruelty-free?
Why do I want to discuss this question??
Many of our customers state that they are vegan and only choose cruelty-free makeup brushes. I am really confused and want to figure out why our partner would insist on that.
How do people view the Cruelty-free?
There's a saying here that an "ethics movement" is sweeping the beauty industry, urging people to buy vegan and cruelty-free beauty products.
We have to admit that, on one level, this is just a movement aimed at reducing the suffering and exploitation of animals in one or more areas of use and abuse, which matter how we view animal rights, without acknowledging that veganism needs to be a moral bottom line.
It is just a lifestyle choice, we can completely reject the protein and high nutritional value brought by meat products, and we can completely reject everything brought by animals, no matter what makes other lives feel painful.
What is true Cruelty-free?
Are we pure cruelty-free? Is our way of life causing direct or indirect suffering to animals?
We are saying it's wrong to test on animals, even if only animal hair is used. There can be many reasons for this (cruelty; applicability of findings to a different species etc). The reasons don't matter: the problem is that we believe animals don't have sovereignty over their bodies, they are ours to treat as chattel property. We are then saying some cruelty is to be tolerated; it just depends on what the use is for humans. We decide it's okay to eat animals; it's not okay to test products on them; it's okay to wear wool; it's not okay to wear fur; it's okay to attend rodeos; it's not okay to attend bullfights.
These are all arbitrary decisions. Most “ethical vegans” believe it is the use and not just the abuse of animals that is wrong. Abuse is a nebulous concept: ask a hundred people to exactly define what is animal abuse and you may get a hundred different answers.
If you're on the brink of death and are starving and meat is the only food available, will you eat it? Yes, of course, I'll eat meat! I'll eat you too if I have to.
Plants are living things too, you know, then why eat plants? Yes, genius, I know but what do you expect me to do? Survive on water and air? Animals are sentient, but plants are not.

Cows eat grass too, oh, cows are cruel too.
Just imagine, why do we wear wool, but insist on being cruelty-free when choosing makeup? How about a delicious steak tonight?
This in itself is a paradoxical social rule, humans kill billions of other animals every year, we (not me) can eat them, and let all valuable parts of animals matter to every detail of our lives. It's crazy how society makes everyone think about certain animals more and less about others.
If you haven't already realized so you should try watching some of the videos featuring Gary Francione on YouTube.
Now, do you still insist on a cruelty-free makeup brush?
Of course, if you think the effect is better, I think this is the law of the market, and people are more inclined to products that are good and cheap, which happen to be synthetic brushes.if you are open to new things, I would recommend natural hair brushes to you.According to the softness, tenacity, and powder-holding ability of different natural hairs, we will use them for different makeup brushes.
I just want to say that when we make choices, we should not be bound by certain concepts, let alone follow some publicity gimmicks, and choose what we really like, with better quality and affordable. When I choose vegan makeup brushes, one of the reasons I am more accepting is that natural hair is really too expensive, I prefer to choose synthetic hair makeup brushes with a lower price to try, on the contrary, I am cruelty-free, I have to use vegan makeup brushes.
Natural hair, like our hair, has natural scales, which are incomparable to synthetic hair. It can naturally grab powder and apply it to any subtle part to create a more three-dimensional effect. The precious goat's hair is very soft and comfortable like water when it passes over our skin.
OK, about how to learn about natural hair makeup brushes, that's a different story, so I'll share it again.
