I didn’t know this wasn’t already banned… I guess I’m happy it is now

Better late than never, I suppose.

Yes.

YAY FOR TESTING CHEMICALS ON POOR PEOPLE!!

How did you think they were gonna test them? Po’ people are apparently below the level of animals. Good job.

“But,” you huff, “they can just not test on anything,” which is a neat idea we can talk about as to why that company lost all its customers right after it started giving them pinkeye and burning rashes but the companies who didn’t stop testing survived. “Then just don’t sell cosmetics,” you’ll brightly suggest, which is kinda what bankruptcy means.

It’s poor people now, who must choose between starving and blindness, who will be testing sunblock and eye drops.

Maybe if you made it pay per view “eyeshadow mansion” can be the next reality show. “will Cletus have to leave the show? Will his gums recede any further? Is the patchy baldness permanent? Find out next week!”
