January 31, 2018I am surprised that a company such as Dr Hauschka, who has constructed their brand philosophy on Demeter biodynamic agriculture, would ever be considered cruelty free or vegan.
Biodinamic agriculture philosophie promotes animal sacrifice as part of a spiritual believes and has no scientific evidence to support any benefits of their practices, which are entirely spiritual.
Part of the process of biodynamic agriculture is to fill the horns of a local cow with manure, to sew flowers to deers bladder and to disperse field mice skin and insects ashes in the field…
It is strange that any organisation would accept this practice as a vegan or cruelty free !!
