Lush Stores supporting ban on Trophy Hunting

Trophy hunters should have to harvest the meat and donate to charity IMHO. Other than that see no issue with it. Conservation should be kept in mind so our children's children can hint and fish too.
 
They sell overpriced smelly "natural soap" , the same stuff people used to,and some still do, make at home...with some lavender tossed in for 8 dollars a bar. All marketing and no substance to any of these "eco concious companies"
 
Personally I am against killing animals just for the trophy.

This was a practise in the good old days when trophy animals were plentiful.

If you hunt and kill for meat, I am ok with that. I enjoy the taste of wild meat too.

For your information there is no meat wasted in trophy hunting. In fact in Africa everything of the animal is used. In North America most places have laws and heavy fines for wasting meat.
 
First off, let's not deteriorate this thread into a trophy hunting debate, this is not the time to fight amongst ourselves....

Secondly, can anyone prove lush tests on animals?..... If so, I will personally pen a letter and send to as many corners as I can..... Nothing beats peception more than proven hypocracy.....

I won't tell you what I do for a living or who I do it for, but lets just say I am in a perfect position to push this.....

Yup. And why the stinky soap vendors boycott trophy hunting is for lack of education in knowing this. They see pictures of rhino carcasses with the horns cut off or dead elephants with the tusks hacked out and they are told/believe that is what trophy hunters do. They don't realize that is the result of poaching and it's hunters' dollars that go toward stopping poaching. You can't fix stupid, especially when people don't want to listen.

Its not a matter of fighting amongst ourselves, rather its an opportunity to enlighten the unenlightened. Some game is not edible, but regardless, trophy hunting is legal, moral, and more difficult than meat hunting, because you are hunting for a specific animal, rather than the first one you see. The odds are stacked greatly against your success. If game populations are low, trophy hunting, that is the hunting for non-breeding males, is the only hunting that's justifiable.
 
The massage bars that they sell are really nice. The soaps are pretty good but expensive. I will still shop there. I support the ban of trophy hunting but wouldn't sign the petition.

I'm just curious to know if your objection is to all recreational hunting, or just to trophy hunting. You do know that soap is made from animal bi-products, right?
 
I think I'll head down there just before Valentine's Day and load up a big basket of stuff, have them ring it into the register, and then ask about their animal testing policy.

And walk out. :)

Nope not all. Yes I do know how soap is made.

The argument in favor of trophy hunting goes like this. When trophy hunting, the hunter seeks a specific animal, whereas the meat hunter takes any animal he encounters, regardless of its age or ###, within the restrictions of his license. When the hunter is concerned with trophy quality, non-breading males are typically the focus of the trophy hunter, their genetics have already been passed along to later generations, and usually their removal from the heard is not missed. Meat hunters go out year after year in search of groceries, but the trophy hunter seldom takes more than one or two trophy animals of any given species, over a period of many years, perhaps even over his lifetime. While you might choose not to be a trophy hunter, understand that trophy hunting is clearly more sustainable than meat hunting in terms of the number of animals taken from any given area.
