yeah right, aninal testing

One famous method of testing is the irritancy test, in which potentially harmful products are dripped into the eyes of test animals (usually rabbits).

The harmfulness of the product is then assessed depending on
the size of the area injured, the opacity of the cornea, and the degree of redness, swelling and discharge of the conjunctivae, and in more severe cases, on the blistering or gross destruction of the cornea.

The truth is that many animals could be spared in many ways if only certain 'people' werent so mean.

AND AFTER THAT!!!

I did some research on some of the cool stuff in eye liner and how its ingredients are tested.

Titanium Dioxide--

Its one of the primary ingredents in eye liner and most makeup. A carcinogen is a substance that causes a cellular malfunction, causing the cell to become cancerous and thus potentially lethal to the surrounding tissue and ultimately the body as these rapidly growing mutated cells take over. With the surge in cancer rates among all segments of the population, many people are attempting to reduce or eliminate their exposure to carcinogens.

Titanium dioxide is regarded as an inert, non-toxic substance by many regulatory bodies such as the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and others charged with the responsibility of safeguarding the health of occupational workers and public health. The MSDS states that titanium dioxide can cause some lung fibrosis at fifty times the nuisance dust, defined by the US Department of Labor as 15 mg/m cubed (OSHA) or 10 mg/m cubed (ACGIH Threshold Limit Value). The ACGIH states that titanium dioxide is "not classifiable as a human carcinogen". Symptoms of chronic overexposure to titanium dioxide in an industrial setting, according to the MSDS, include a "slight increase in lung tumour incidence in lab rats". It also states "when titanium dioxide was fed to rats/mice in a carcinogen bioassay, it was not carcinogenic". The NIOSH declares that at 5000 mg/m cubed there was slight lung fibrosis, concluding that this substance was carcinogenic in rats.


Without labratory animal testing we wouldn't know if that eye liner was going to kill you in 20 years. Turns out, it probly will so now that we have done testing on cute little animals we can properly give you information vs speculation.

Now you said you are wearing some sort of special non animal tested eye liner, I would like to know the brand and its ingredents, because from what I can find its impossible to wear makeup other than charcoal without exploting a animal in some way.


ANd after that !


I then answered with the continual ANIMAL testing on the hazards of Titanium Dioxide link [www.epa.gov] one of the primary incredents in most makeup.

They found that even if you where to eat an entire stick of eyeliner every day for the rest of your life, you MIGHT get some random illness. Do you know how they figured this out? They tested it on animals. Two groups of 50 per sex of Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. Thats 200 fuzzy little creatures that died spacificly for you. They where created/breed with the explicit intention of them being feed YOUR eye liner.

Now recent ANIMAL testing has come to the conclusion that the original EPA tests where not accurate for whatever reason. They are finding that you can absorb some of the toxins from your eyeliner.

https://www.theorganicmakeupcompany.com/CA/titaniumdioxide.asp

This is just ONE of the many chemicals in your "Sephoria" eye liner.

Here are the others:

Black:
Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Cetyl Laurate, Beeswax, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Stearate, Tocopherol, Organic Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Organic Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Extract, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil. May Contain: Black Iron Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Red Iron Oxide, Yellow Iron Oxide.

https://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml;jsessionid=OS3SUEOQZAX1YCV0KRRRXCQ?id=P218721&categoryId=C19270



Now I'm going to take a guess that you don't wear JUST eye liner. I'm guessing that you use soap( god I hope so), shampoo, perfume, gel-moose-hairspray whatever. If you took a closer look on every single one of the products in YOUR bathroom and tallied up all of the dead animals it took to make sure each one of those products didn't kill you. It would fill your house 10 times over with dead mice,rats,bunnies,monkeys and god only knows what else.

My goal isn't to totaly slam dunk you in this debate but to show that animal testing is and will be 100% nessary for you and I to live our lives.

ok, but i still dont agree with u. As simple as that, thank god we are different !
I dont believe animal testing is necessary as animal models often produce misleading results, or produce no useful results at all, and product testing is no exception. Anyway, u are free to believe the contrary but I am against animal testing, period.

If you're against animal testing, what do you propose?

Testing on humans without ever having tested on an animal?

What would you tell the mother of a human test subject who was killed by the substance or drug, when this substance or drug never would have made it to human trials because it killed pigs?

But thats just it. You do agree with it. If you didn't you wouldn't buy the products.

Don't try and tell me you don't unless you wear a outfit made of dirt and dress in bushes and eat clay. You benifit from animal testing in every aspect. As long as you are a functual part of soceity you will benifit from animal testing.

yeah i saw this video or at least one like it. it was awful. i dont know what kind of animal it was, but it was being held upside down by its tail, then they just cut away at its butt then pulled the skin and fur off. the animal was squirming and crying and after it was all off the thing just was a bloody skeleton looking around blinking like what the f*** is going on. it was the most depressing thing and pissed me off so bad i want someone to skin those bastards. i dont know what to do because it really is like inevitable i feel.

This stirs up some emotions with me on the subject. I saw a documentary where they would capture cats and dogs, their treatment was beyond horrendous. They were killing them in that manner as well, at least the ones that survived being handled while they trucked them over for processing. They were making leather jackets out of them for export. Take note, you really don't know what kind of leather you are getting if it's a jacket from China. I used to always wear leather jackets, and typically they would be manufactured in China, I have never purchased or owned a leather jacket ever since and if I could get away with not buying a single item from China, I would.

My friend forwarded me the email with an attachment of the video of the animals being skinned alive.

I was so.. so.. angry and frustrated and felt so sick after watching the video. Humans' self-proclaimed "friend"; they were bleeding so much you can only see their black sad eyes and their long eyelashes. It was sick.

I was so tempted to go hit those :KNDOSKBNDFOSHNDJ people who did that. Really. What right do they have to do that? How would they feel if I hit them with a metal pole till their bones break? And then hang them by their legs or hands and skin them alive? And then throw their bloody bodies into a heap of creatures who underwent the same treatment? What the heck. Selfish freaks. Monsters.

I'm still damn angry. I really never imagined humans can be this.. ruthless. I don't know.

Yes, you are twisted, and extremely mentally ill :LOL: Now that's funny. I am so sickened that you think it's funny that you like the mass and relentless killings of animals. Keep in mind that we are not talking about "wild" animals, like coons and bears.

How many of you use glue traps for mice?

I hope no one doesn't... because they essentially do the same thing. Skin the animal alive because it's trying so hard to get off the super glue that it rips itself to pieces.

Yet this trap is a popular method in the US, and even perhaps in some European countries too. Where is the outcry on that? Or it it because "they're just mice" so it's OK to torture them? I don't agree with what China is doing, it is a sick and disgusting act. But some people are awfully hypocritical when they slam China's fur industry yet advocate possibly the worst trap commercially available.

Some people even throw the mouse or rat, with its injures and STILL ALIVE, into the bin to starve. An even more painful death - and the instructions on these traps actually say to do this. It is pathetic that we can put so much pressure on another country to cease barbaric acts when such acts are happening in our very own backyards, thumbs twiddling and pretending nothing bad is happening.

Please don't give the pest distinction either - animals killed in China are feral animals, pests. But that doesn't really matter - because they're living creatures and can feel pain. To advocate torture because of "pest" status is a terrible excuse. Some people seem to use that line to do bad things, as if "oh it is a pest, so it doesn't matter how it dies".



They are not all feral animals. They take animals that have collars on too, dogs and cats that got out of their homes. The people who gather these animals pay no attention to that. Collar or not, to them, they are all fair game and these poor people looking for their lost pets will never see them again nor know what terrible fate became them. Feral animals are also domestic animals that their owners put them out on the street to fend for themselves either because they can't afford them anymore, can't have them in a place they're moving into or they're not cute puppies/kittens anymore. They are innocent victims of man.

I've seen alot of those videos, and those animals are still alive AFTER they're completelly skinned.

I think wearing fur is okay if it's an animal you hunted legally and humanely. Because using fur is in human nature really.
