The hypocrisy of animal rights activists

[mrplunkey]

It's not just makeup...

Facewashes, soaps, shampoos, hair dyes, lotions.

Those are great examples. They should declare certain classes of ingredients "safe" and not require some of the ridiculous biocompatability and cytotoxicity tests on what amount to combinations of ingredients already in use.

Yeah, 100% against it for cosmetic testing. I only use cruelty free products.

Same here. Fortunately there are a fair number of options now for those of us who want that.

So, I should stop spraying aqua net in my cocker spaniel's eye's before fixing my updo?

I have a hard time caring about this stuff. I know this makes me a terrible person.

No it just means you have a fucking life

hypocrisy is perfectly natural btw; i wouldn't expect anyone to do anything other than fight for their own interests.

You mean with the exception of our elected officials, who exist merely to serve the public interest.

that's why we limit their terms; they can't be trusted otherwise

I have this conversation over and and over. Evan had it to today! I am totally a hypocrite when it comes to this because here I am helping run an animal shelter, yet I eat chicken and fish.
The person I was having the talk with today said "You're saving abused and suffering animals and the chicken is bred to eat, so not the same"
Not the same, but I am all about life and no one life has more value than any other life, yet I will eat chicken and fish and wear leather.

I went vegan for 10 yrs many years back because of this. I would not even wear leather.
Funny how we put value on one thing and devalue something else!

great thread C
