Coty Fail

CK Fail Well what a surprise… not.

We at Coty Inc. share your respect for life, and we are committed to maintaining the highest possible standards of human safety while eliminating the need for testing on animals. Coty Inc. does not conduct animal testing of any … Read More »

CK Escape: Iffy

25
Nov
2008

Hop away little bunny before the big bad lab catches you Last week I mentioned CK Escape and was pondering whether this former favourite perfume of mine was still being tested on animals. Well, after getting a few tips from Alexia over at Fish and Chimps, the Peta UK blog, who I had mailed to ask if she knew what the deal was, I discovered that Calvin Klein is now under the Coty stable, and it is very unclear what … Read More »

Most Marvelous Manly Man on the planet By now we should all know just how Marvelous and Manly Nigel Barker is, what with his heroic efforts to save seals and also sharks . Of course he’s also a judge on my all-time favourite show, America’s Next Top Model, and he’s almost as hot as Becks. Oh and he’s a shit hot photographer and family man too I might add. So it’s quite understandable that seeing pictures of him at an … Read More »

Moon Bears Make Asia’s Big 5 List

Oct
2008

[VIA: AAF] Not too long ago I did a post on Moon Bears (Asiatic Black Bears) making it onto the nominations for Asia Geographic’s ‘Asia’s Big 5′ contest. Well, I just got a mail to say that the Moon Bears made it onto the list – and are now unofficially recognised for being one of Asia’s top big animals! This is really great news indeed, as the plight of Moon Bears is still very dire. These beautiful, clever and highly … Read More »

I wish we all had a say in things…

I’ve been reading a fair bit on the upcoming California November ballots, which include quite a few propositions which residents are able to vote on. These range from the scary and anti-progressive Proposition 8 which seeks to eliminate the right for couples of the same sex to marry, to the extremely progressive and anti-cruelty breakthrough Proposition 2, which would ban the confinement of animals in a way that keeps them from being able to stand, sit, lie down, turn around … Read More »

I’m Loving… Peta’s Sea Kittens

10
Oct
2008

Love them or hate them, Peta really do have some kickass designers, developers and marketing whizzes on board, and campaigns like the ‘Save the Sea Kittens’ are far nicer than some of their more hardcore, aggressive campaigns that alienate rather than educate. The point of the Sea Kitten campaign is to make people re-think the fish, because they probably wouldn’t be enjoyed as much if they were cute and fluffy. So, enter a very cool website and some fun interactive … Read More »

I need more activist friends

I was pretty interested to see the event details for the Animal Rights Film Festival which is coming up this month… but the only thing is that none of my friends are into this stuff, in fact even my mom, who got me onto animal rights info when I was young, probably won’t go. Here’s a bit more about the doccies which will screened… * “Meat the Truth“, which draws attention to one of the most important causes of climate … Read More »

Mary, Mary Mary…

2008

I’ve been a Mary J Blige fan for many, many years and love her music. Sadly, I can’t say the same about her dress-sense… Her newish song ‘Stay Down’ is really an awesome track – beautiful lyrics, typical Mary vocals… and loads of dead animals as jackets, hoods, coats, gloves and anything else possible. Talk about overkill! I know it’s a snow scape video, but still. Girlfriend needs to get with the program and realise that the only thing that … Read More »

Ignorance may be bliss… but not for change

05
Sep
2008

Something that never fails to amaze me is the general perceptions that normal people have when it comes to animal rights and green issues. I realise that not everyone feels as strongly about issues as some do, and that even if people do care, they don’t always know how to use that concern to make a difference, but some people just seem so blatantly uninterested and clueless, I just don’t get it at all. Prime case in point are some … Read More »

Let Them (And Me) Eat Cake

12
Aug
2008

I am battling to keep my eyes open today, and not just because of the late night deadline crunching either. My throat has been sore the last few days, and I feel seriously spaced out. Which is just great, as I am in the process of organising a fundraiser picnic thingy, and have been liaising with park committees and now the city council, and I need my limited wits about me. I still have a hell of a lot of … Read More »
