Emu's aren't killed for their oil. They are killed for their meat,

much like cattle. Emu oil is a by-product.

This is true, but with the increasing demand, due to

almost " miraculous " properties of their oil, that could change

quickly.

I suspect that these claims were possibly made to create a market

for the oil in the first place.

 

I received a sample of Emu oil once with an order of other products.

Hesitant to work with it, since I prefer non animal derived

products, I tested it for various claims made. Afterall, it would be

wonderful to have such a miracle oil, especially since it's a " by-

product "

 

Maybe it's just me, but I have not found it to be too extraordinary.

It absorbs nicely, doesn't seem to go rancid quickly, but other then

that.....sorry.

Personal preference I guess, and if someone eats meat, has no

objection to animal products use and business, it is a nice option

for dry skin.

every part of the bird is used, the skin is made into leather, fat is rendered

into oil, feathers are sold, egg shells are also sold, and there is very little

left after that. Emu meat is some of the healthiest meat you can eat.

I don't know why my post didn't come across with anything on it, but I said

that too (It was probably my fault sometimes I type where doesn't pick

it up.) Anyway. Egg shells is one of the places they get calcium for

calcium supplements. :) My uncle had an Emu farm and had I known I would

have been able to help, because where they are from is a really itty bitty

town and not much demand for Emu meat. (red necks(I say this cuz I'm from a

long line of them.) have a tendency to think huh? when they hear EMU) I use

it specifically for my psoriasis.. works like a charm.. haven't found any

other oil that works alone on it. Yet. The only thing I haven't seen a

call for is the bones, but hey there are people out there that use bones for

something..._._,_.___ .

[Dave:] As a soapmaker, I’d be interested in knowing more about these plant

oils.  I make mostly vegan soaps, but for certain applications I find emu

oil remarkable.  In my work, I sometimes get dry, chapped and cracked

hands.  I’ve never found a quicker remedy than a few drops of emu oil. 

Someone else mentioned that she didn’t find emu oil especially great (sorry,

I didn’t keep that post).  I wonder what she used it for?  I find that in

shampoos and in soaps for certain skin conditions, emu oil adds real

benefits.  I also use it in my tattoo balm.

Fact is - there are meat eaters and vegetarians and vegans - just as there are

Christians, Jews, Muslims, Pagans, etc. Whatever my choices are, I would not

think to make you feel badly, if your choices were different.

You're right they will still be killed for meat and for leather so may as well

use the oil. Why waste any part of the bird ? My DH does deer processing and I

tell him to grind the fat and have it for me so I can render tallow. The deer

won't be any less dead if I don't.

But they are still killed and you slather dead emu all over yourself. There

are better alternatives which don't involve dead animals/bird was my point.

I'm sorry if people don't seem to be getting my point. I'm not against animals

for food. I am an omnivore, I just am totally grossed out by the idea of

slathering dead animal on my body especially when there are plant alternatives

that are more effective.

(Graham I'm usually pretty clueless when it comes to people being grossed

out by much cause I grew up on a farm and I've seen Bulls made into steers,

and polled, that would make most people go vegetarian.)

and wow I thought I was the only one that was that specific with my gross

outs.

..Oh! That's what you have the problem with... Did you know you could be

inhaling dead skin cells from animals, people, and that E.coli exists in the

air? If half of the people in the US thought about where their what ever

comes from we'd be doing a lot less consuming over all...

I figure there' lots worse we could be slathering ourselves with... But now

I understand your point. There's a lot of people if they actually thought

about it would probably really grossed out....

[Dave:] Plenty of people feel that way, which is why I make mostly vegan

soaps and skin-care items. However, I’ve found emu oil to be extremely

useful for problem skin. So my question is, which plant alternatives do you

feel are more effective and in what ways are they more effective?

 

By the way, if any products that you use contain collagen, tallow, neetsfoot

oil, lanolin, or any of a dozen other animal-based products, you’re

slathering dead animal. Like you, I’m an omnivore, and personally I don’t

have a problem with eating or slathering emu. But I do try to be sensitive

to how the users of my products feel. If I’m asked to make up a soap or

salve for someone with psoriasis or a new tattoo, the first thing I’ll ask

is whether the person has any objection to animal ingredients. If they do,

then I agree with you that there are vegetable oils that also have

beneficial properties. The thing is, they are exotic and expensive. So

it’s a balancing act.

Normally I have no problem about what I have no choice about. But deliberately

taking melted down animal and rubbing it over yourself is out of that league.

I know of a natural cosmetics company that raises its own emus to use in

products. In their case, the meat would be a byproduct. They told me that they

looked into liposuction but realized it wasn't feasible (seriously!).I don't

perceive animals as a commodity or an ingredient. Every claim that is made for

emu oil can be matched with an herb or essential oil. If there is no need for

it, then why?
