I don't get it...

First, let me say that I do not believe in animal cruelty. Today, I received a boycott email because this list of companies tests their products on animals. I just don't get it. :idontno: Can you help me understand the ones listed below. The original list was much larger, but I am curious about these.

Calvin Klein & Adidas - are they trying on outfits? Arm&Hammer - are they whitening their teeth?Charmin, Cottonelle, & Kleenex - Don't tell me they are wiping monkey butts and blowing their noses.
Colgate & Crest - Are they brushing their teeth?
Eukanuba - Don't tell me that they are feeding the dogs dogfood?
Folgers - My dog loves coffee
Iams - maybe testing out some cat food on some cats?
Pantene- I often use Pantene to wash my dogs, and it seems to do their skin and hair well.

Well I tried to get my pudgy ass in a pair of CalvinKlein low rise jeans last weekend at the Outlet Mall, -don't tell me about animal cruelty.

Let's just say that the Cheekmonks were not getting in that cage.

...............need I go into details about the impact on their stored nuts?

Cafe Au 'Gay

Brewed coffee, preferably dark French roast with chicory, with half scalded -- NOT steamed -- milk, poured together from two pots.

To heat milk, scald over low heat in a sauce pan just until a thin film forms. Alternately, you can scald the milk in the microwave. Just fill a mug ? full of milk and heat until hot (about 40 seconds).

Add one shot of your favorite liqueur.

Will you be a sweetie and tell me what are the proportions for making coffee? The man of the house--he who serves me coffee in bed each morning--is out of town for the week and I am at your mercy. I am forced to make my own coffee boohooooo. I tried this morning and it was a total disaster. I poured out 3 cups of water and 2 scoops of coffee and it brewed up to make p*ss water. I know it's not the coffee because I always buy good stuff so obviously I got the water wrong.

Help.

You will be doing a service for humanity. :biggrin:

One level tablespoon of coffee per cup is the standard and works well regardless of your coffee maker.

But least we be accused of letting yet another thread go awry- I recommend that you first test your coffee on any available animal before drinking it yourself.

Yeah, I can hear it sawing away. ;-) I want you to know I wasn't whining about not having coffee service; I was whining abount proportions! Now that 30-gAy has so graciously solved the problem, you can cease and desist with the orchestra. Tomorrow morning I plan to have a delicious cup of coffee, so there!!!

I know you were making a joke but in case some of you really want to know why you should ban them... go to PETA's website. They'll show you pictures of rabbits whose eyelids are forced to stay open while hairspray is sprayed in their eyes to see if it burns... nail polish, (and remover). it's disgusting. they should test on people on death row.

I also read about beagle puppies wearing helmets to see the damage of gunshot wounds to the head. duh... use an inmate!

That would be cruel and unusual punishment. An even better idea for safe products might be to have the products tested on family members of the product developer. ;-)

Hollibird, I am curious about your PETA post.

Please share with us the names of the cruelty free products that you currently use, since I guess you do not use Charmin, Cottonelle, or Kleenex toilet paper, Arm&Hammer baking soda, or feed your pets Iams or Eukanuba. Also, I am assuming you do not consume any animal products in any way, period, or you would not be "playing the PETA card". Leather? Hmmm...guess I could look the other way on that one since the cow was already turned into steak and it is a shame to toss a good hide in the dumpster. Prescription drugs? Nah, who needs 'em?

I have learned one thing about the PETA gang- usually people that are spouting the PETA party line aren't totally living the cruelty free lifestyle. But they are quick to show everyone the propoganda. Another interesting little statistic- when I worked at the vet clinic, most of our PETA clients did not spay or neuter their pets. Guess they donated all their money to buy more PETA surveillance cameras.

PETA can possibly legitimize itself by stopping the weirdness (like having Pamela Anderson for their oh-so-classy spokesmodel!) and appealing to people's intelligence. I find their tactics insulting and amateurish, and now it's just getting boring.
