Animal testing

[4getmenot]

Ok I might start a bit of a debate here, but stemming from another question on whether collection 2000 is tested on animals, If you found out the make-up you use was tested on animals would it stop you buying it?

I think that's called advancement of science. There's always something new and exciting that needs to be tested. Take the drug trial at Northwick Park Hospital for example. That was last year wasn't it?

there are not enough eye shadows ever Paul!!! God, havent you learned anything from your girlfriend.

[Champagne]

What a ridiculous question, pa__ul. Surely even you realise (and here comes the science bit) that radical new ingredients such as unique amino complexes, polypeptitudes and revolutionary moisture formulas means there�ll always be a demand for that greener, more glittery shade of eyeshadow?

And just in case you didn�t realise, I was being sar-car-stick.

[Skoot]

absolutely NOT!!!
poor animals are being tested enough for surpufluous reasons as it is.

Also...there are hideous....they are tested without anesthesia, the sad pets are being stolen all for financial gain...and many are subjected to the most tortuous "tests" imaginable.
Just like in Nazi's did to humans, the animal industry does just the same....they put them in pressured chambers until their screaming with pain, sewn together, given all sorts of gruesome injections that cause everything ranging from e-coli to antrax to cholera. As well as deliberately spaced apart [like the japanese did to the chinese] then a bomb was set off, & injuries were assesed at varying degrees.....the list goes on & on. these poor animals, and YES, including your own pets are exposed to such hideous experiments, it defy's imagination.

So...my answer to the question as to whether or not I would buy any product that comes from animal testing, is a definite NO-NO! from Skoot

God skoot I am now really depressed! The answer is that yes I would stop buying cosmetics or toiletries if I knew they were animal tested.
I was bathing my guinea pig the other day and was very careful to avoid his eyes and I thought then that these testing places deliberately put stuff into their eyes to test the reaction. It nearly made me ill. And yes I do eat meat but not meat that's been tortured beforehand.

so we are not allowed to discuss anything that is not of the absolute utmost importance...?

why do people have to try to stop the conversation by bringing up as many worse things they can think of - as though that some how cancels out the lesser problem?

''you've got e.coli? so what, some people have ebola you know!''

ffs!!!!!

[joko]

leather and suede are the waste products of the meat industry... the hides are either made into coats and shoes etc or binned - the animal will still die either way for food, so that doesn't really apply to the pointless testing of yet another product.

it they weren't so keen to fill products full of unnatural synthetic chemicals they wouldn't need to do so much testing
