lol cool.

If it really is to prevent the market from being flooded by foreign brands, why not institute an import or a VAT tax? I know bupkes about Chinese law, but is that something they could do?

Actually China more recently passed legislation making it mandatory for ALL imported personal care items to have been tested on animals. I think it has more to do with not being flooded by foreign brands by forcing them to add costly processes to import them and thus increasing the price, but doing it in a way that…

Don’t mind the people making the “humans better than animals!” comments. It is torture and no animal needs to suffer like that. Testing on animals in indeed archaic and companies and countries use other methods to ensure safety without torturing animals. China needs to get with the program and the more that companies…

True, but after the melamine milk scandal there, I can’t imagine why they’re so worried about foreign products vs. domestic ones.

China um...has a ways to go in the civility department. Chinese vendors butcher and skin live animals in markets to put on shows while they sell their wares (the tiger shark, or whale shark video, jesus christ), Chinese markets are full of those tiny keychains with live turtles in bags, the whole dog festival thing,…

Well, as someone who has been in the field of humane education myself for decades and as someone who ran a no-kill animal shelter for twelve of those years, I can tell you that it is exactly the same thing.

I have always loved Anderson for this..I don’t know ho many people are aware of the years and years she has worked on behalf of animal rights.
