Position: NorthWood Candle believes that animals have a right to be treated humanely. We are committed to sourcing materials and ingredients that are not tested on animals and do not contain any animal-derived products. rationale: Animal rights can be summed up with the three R’s: Respect for animals, Responsibility for their care, and Reverence for their life. The respect aspect means that we should not use animals for our own ends, but rather should work to protect their welfare. The responsibility aspect means that we should take care of the animals in our charge, including ensuring that they have adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinary care. The reverence aspect means that we should appreciate the intrinsic value of animals and their lives.
