before buying bath bombs!!!
consider making your own or looking on etsy because LUSH is a horrible misogynistic company that is similar to and supports PETA. (warning for images of a woman being ‘tortured’ and then a video at the bottom of the article) http://feminspire.com/lush-cosmetics-kind-to-animals-not-to-women/
for those who don’t want to click: basically they stage public displays of physically abusing women (or mock-abusing them) as stunts to show how awful animal testing is
oh my god. Quick google searches DESTROY THESE ARGUMENTS.
This is a screenshot taken from the LUSH facebook page. Wow. Look. They don’t support PETA. This is real. Source here.
Secondly, they do NOT “STAGE PHYSICAL DISPLAY(S)!!” There was one very large publicity stunt in which a paid performer who fully consented signed up to pretend to be tested and effected in the same way animals are. This is not because they hate women. Here is an article from The Huffington Post:
"Jacqueline Traides, 24, spent about 10 hours this week in the window of Lush Cosmetics' Regent Street store in Central London. During the ordeal, she was subjected to force-feeding, injections, hair shaving and other uncomfortable procedures — often while restrained — reported the International Business Times.
[…]
Traides said, “I hope it will plant the seed of a new awareness in people to really start thinking about what they go out and buy and what goes into producing it.”
Lush’s Fighting Animal Testing campaign was clear that the London demonstration’s mission was “intended to shock.” Emphasizing their opposition to animal testing, the group wrote:
When we are forced to recognise that this aspirational industry depends upon the needless suffering and death of millions of innocent animals – animals that could have been our dog, our children’s guinea pigs, our neighbours’ rabbits – animals that we humanely love – we are shocked and we recoil.”
Please stop spreading false information. Please don’t slander a company that tries really hard to be charitable, whose employees protested the lack of indictment for Darren Wilson, a company that’s good.
