Our bid for freedom and sovereignty seems to be less than set in stone.

Are there no face masks or fume cabinets in these labs?

It all seems a bit special case and shabby.

Has anybody stood in Boots and looked at the shelves and shelves of crap that we humans think we need to live our lives? Apparently we need even more of this stuff at the expense of other sentient beings.

So what do you eat?By eating meat you are complicit in the murder of sentient beings.Are you a hypocrit?

Animals can't be murdered. They can be killed, slaughtered, put to sleep, destroyed - any term you like, but definitely not murdered.

Humans evolved as omnivores and have always 'murdered' other animals to survive. Torturing animals to test makeup is an entirely different matter.

I do raise my eyebrows at claims of 'not tested on animals' on packaging.
A lot of ingredients will have been tested on animals at some point, just not by that company and maybe not in combination with the other ingredients.

@10.05.Aye,okay.Sorry.

[douglas9401]

I once stood in brogues and looked, don't know if that's helpful.

[Old_Geezer]

They are all tested on animals, always were, always will be. If there is a denial on the packaging then the buyer/user is the animal it is being tested on.

[Old_Geezer]

That pointed out, one would have thought there was enough warpaint on the shelves to not need to test anything more. The change in the law seems a step backwards.

Brexit has the effect that you now can not affect laws in Rome
