This is a normal post Well, he gets a nice flat and he’s not being hunted by the Owsla, so, silver linings.

This is a normal post It's psychological cruelty
There is no way he could use that phone properly.

This is a normal post I think the toiletries aisle at Waitrose is ok, but those bastards at Aldi need speaking to.

This is a normal post Yup and there are ways to muddy the waters so it is difficult to see who is testing.
If all the ingredients have been tested by others in the past they can claim 'product not tested on animals'.

This is a normal post Well, should stuff tested on animals in the past be now banned?

This is a normal post It is a rolling system, so eventually everything gets through in time.
Much of the beauty industry is based on marketing anyway, not substantial efficacy. A drug to fight disease would be reasonable testing, new aftershave/eyeshadow/newextrasuperdupernoageingnighttime serum - piss off..
I'm not for banning, just avoiding products that are/might be tested.
Avoiding meat likely prevents more cruelty though.

This is a normal post I'm down with all of that.
I’d just assumed that was behind us in the UK.

This is a normal post animal testing for cosmetics or their ingredients was banned in 1998 in the UK
but lots of cosmetics staples like sodium lauryl sulfate were tested on animals and banning them or finding alternatives would be difficult

This is a normal post I’m not down with wasting time finding alternatives for something that historically was on animals.
They will literally have died in vain if we did that.

This is a normal post I think anthropomorphising animals is one of the reasons why a fair few of the animal welfare crowd are crackpots with little perspective
and this video just feeds into that. they're not little humans, they're coked-up fuck machines. If I had a button that could kill every bunny in australia I'd push it in an instant, and so would most other scientists who've been trying to do exactly that with myxo and calici. It's not the bunnies fault, it was the english settlers who fucked up, but I just like the native wildlife animals and plant species that are being pushed to extinction more, in a competitive match. and there's no shortage of bunnies in the world. It's like all those hundreds of thousands of people protesting fox hunting. It's a preposterous sport, and not pleasant for the foxes, but it's a just a few dozen of them each year FFS, and must be fun for the hounds. more foxes get hit by cars in london than ever was killed by some ponce in a red jacket. More wilderness areas is what people who care about animals really should be protesting about as a better use of their time, not cat lipstick or drinking straws. Britain's got fuck all wild areas, so where are all these animals you save going to go? Here endth the rant

This is a normal post Anthropomorphising is a distraction from the everyday, industrial cruelty.
However, I am too pissed to comment further.

This is a normal post I want having a go at you, fcm.
want wasn’t
The impulse to care for animals is a noble one, but even you’d admit that there a few in the movement whose eyes and arguments show the absolute certainty of the zealot, like anti abortionists who think it’s justified to kill doctors. I just reckon giving animals more wilderness space and leaving them the fuck alone is the most worthwhile thing we can do for them

This is a normal post canberra's kangaroo cull a few years back
was a glorious cause célèbre and a perfect example of this kind of viral idiocrity.
the message eventually got through, though. either that or kangaroos are just not as endearing as they used to be.
having wrestled with one, i can vouch that they are not, in fact, in any way endearing.

This is a normal post I was with you until you started defending fox hunting.
More toffs die from road traffic accidents than from Marxist revolution, and revolting must be thrilling for the proles....

This is a normal post What an odd comparison
If Marxist revolution was only about hunting down a few dozen merchant bankers for sport each year they’d get more along to their meetings

This is a normal post It's not that odd, it's to illustrate the monsterousness of your sick argument.
Toffs hunt foxes, you see. So I just turned it on its head. In rhetorical terms its a 'see how you like it.'

As if it's defensible to hunt for sport because your chosen victims die in higher numbers in preventable accidents. As if that has any bearing on the value of their life.

As if the thrill of taking a life justifies it. What you have is a sickness.
