Do YOU have a personal vendetta, battle, conflict....
....whatever you want to call it?

Mine is against companies who test on animals, mainly Proctor & Gamble. They have plenty of money to research, develop, produce and market things to make life easier, but they REFUSE, absolutely REFUSE to spend some of those billions in profit on new technology that will enable them to test their products without torturing animals.

I'm not one of those animal activist people you hear about breaking into facilities to turn the animals loose. It just really pisses me off when this huge corporation chooses to render rabbits immobile and put toxic crap into their eyes, just to see what it will do!!! DUH! This is horrific suffering on living, feeling things that is totally unnecessary when the money is abundant and readily available to purchase & use other methods.

There are a lot of other companies that use animals for product testing, but this website http://fightanimaltesting.wetpaint.com/page/PRODUCTS+THAT+DONT+TEST+ON+ANIMALS?t=anon has a list of all the companies who DON'T.



So, tell me about the thing(s) that piss YOU off.

2. I have a vendetta
against styrofoam cups ! Do you realize how many millions of these are used every day from convenience stores/restaraunts etc..and then tossed in our landfills? They remain there FOREVER !!

I think they should be outlawed.

The guys at work are afraid to walk through my office carrying one.

3. I can't forgive or forget that kinda testing either
I went to that site, TY, and then to the PETA site to download their lists too. Anything to do with animals gets me.
I also have a uncontrollable hate for people who are proud enough of their pollution to drive Hummers.

5. I agree about the Hummers, too.
Their most recent commercial is hailing Hummer owners as hero's because they helped rescue people in disasters. It makes me wonder who they charged for all the gas. :think:

4. I like your vendetta.
I've been boycotting P&G and their ilk for years.

I'm also kind of fond of the folks that turn the animals loose.

6. Thanks.
I've been on my anti-P&G road for almost 10 years now.
