Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Please do not buy them at all until they stop using animal products. This is an excellant opportunity to educate the little girls and their families. send them to a website. I previously recommended www.milksucks.com but are their others that don't sound so bad?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Sorry, but I am not going to boycott every company out there that uses animal-derived ingredients in their products, just as I don't eat at exclusively vegan restaurants or shop at grocery stores that only sell vegan products. You of course are free to do whatever you want. -Kim On Mon, 7 Mar 2005, Paris Harvey wrote: > Please do not buy them at all until they stop using animal products.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 It is not so much to Girlcott them...it is more a way to open the door for further education. The little darlings can learn through this. If we are kind, from the heart, polite this will leave room for thought.... ....not only about the food aspects but the wonderful rights we have in this country of the democratic process of boycotting, free speech, etc. ParisKim Flournoy <kim wrote: Sorry, but I am not going to boycott every company out there that uses animal-derived ingredients in their products, just as I don't eat at exclusively vegan restaurants or shop at grocery stores that only sell vegan products.You of course are free to do whatever you want.-KimOn Mon, 7 Mar 2005, Paris Harvey wrote:> Please do not buy them at all until they stop using animal products.
