    this is just for the individuall person who wants a choice rather than buying blindly (as i'm no activist or gravedigger and will be using this)

    ...do they have an unapproved list? (and employees & directors home addresses, plans of gravesites etc. etc.!). Some subject matter should be avoided in forums such as this (far too emotive!). This is a light-hearted FREEBIE forum and just a bit of fun for most - political & activist forums for such offers can be found elsewhere.

    I'm sure many will find it hard to resist a follow-on posting (I told you it was emotive!) but those who manage to show more metal than they realise.

    Regardless of any follow-on postings I shall not be posting further replies in this thread. I've made my point once, on behalf of many, and have now let it go.


    Just to let people know, BUAV are not an extremist organisation. Just a list of which products you can buy which have definitely not been tested on animals.

    a great freebie, it's good to be able to make and educated choice and i think posts about opinions on this are uncalled for, phil didn't give opinion when he posted, so why do follow ups have to.
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

    Thanks for this; I like to know that what I'm buying hasn't been pointlessly tested on animals. I think a certain, well publicised "medical trial" proves several points! :D

    All my kids insist that I buy from companies that do not test on animals!!

    Thank you OP!

    We are all entitled to our opinions but I thought England was a country of animal lovers!!

    I am not vegetarian, myself, but I don't think you should have a go at those that are. The Op was only trying to help someone with similar views to theirs, at no point did they put across their opinion!!!

    I must add that even though I am not vegetarian I do NOT believe in harming animals and therefore, I am happy to hear of and buy from people that do not test on animals. It is cruel!!

    There are plenty of products available that won't give you red eyes!!!!!!!(please see needstoknow). It is everyones choice, but some people are so hard!!
    ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷

    And you would rather those things happen to humans than animals. I don't really believe that they "pointlessly" test on animals. In fact the testing does have a point or else it wouldn't be any kind of test at all. I believe this is an oxymoron.

    Did anybody else read that as a free little book all about cruelty?
    I was looking forward to it :(
