Tell Priceline to support more cruelty-free products!

  • av: Dr. Leslie Dean Brown
  • mottagare: Darren Huston, CEO of Priceline (Australia's leading healthy and beauty retailer).

Darren Huston,

I am writing to you because I know that Priceline is one of Australia's biggest retailers of health and beauty products (if not the biggest). Your web slogan title accurately describes you: "Australia's leading healthy and beauty retailer."

Well done! You stock a great range of products at competitive prices.

So what is this letter really about? Well, the reason for this letter & petition is as follows. Most people already know about this whole cruelty to animals thing by now. And we know that beauty products are some of the worst offenders of all. Strong is the desire to look 'pretty'. I know, I know— it's a mate-selection thing.

I know too that Priceline staff don't perform any animal testing. Even so, you're almost complicit in this whole industry, because you're selling some products that are known to be tested on animals! Aren't you? EH?

Look, I'll be one of the first to admit that I shop at Priceline (ever since I grew my hair long and needed to find a decent conditioner). I even have a sister's club card! And I'm a man!!

But it's hard to know which products really are cruelty-free. Sometimes I think that not even Ingrid E. Newkirk really knows. No doubt I've contributed to animal suffering too, because I don't carry around PETA's cruelty-free shopping guide. I'm yet to see anyone pull that out of their handbag, either. 

You know, most of your staff have been very helpful to me personally while I shop in your stores. But can you please do your part to make it easier on consumers (and animals) and clarify, label or separate the products that are shown to be cruelty-free by organisations such as peta.org and www.rspca.org?

Perhaps with a little rabbit logo tag on the shelves? You're smart people; I'm sure you'll think of something.

That way, Australian shoppers can make more informed choices about the products that they buy. Once and for all. And if cruelty-ridden beauty products continue to be sold by unscrupulous companies, at least us consumers can take some of the blame for that.

Sincerely,
Dr. Leslie Dean Brown

I have started a new petition and this time it's to do with animal cruelty on Youtube. Animals being killed and eaten onscreen while still live! Worse, the producers are actually getting paid to make these sick videos and it has to stop. It needs signatures. Sign and share! https://www.thepetitionsite.com/518/007/888/demand-that-youtube-removes-hiroyuki-teradas-quotextreme-seriesquot-animal-cruelty-videos/

Every now and then I start a new petition. Here's my latest one: "Sack Jolyon Maugham, a prominent Barrister/QC who murdered a fox with a baseball bat (and bragged about it on twitter)." https://www.thepetitionsite.com/776/229/584/sack-jolyon-maugham-qc/
Please sign and share it. Thanks,

Hello,
Thanks so much for signing! I thought it would have more than 1000 signatures on it by now. Please be kind to animals, share the petition as much as you can. Only then can the changes happen. Thanks, leslie dean brown.

556 signatures so far –which is great– BUT we need a lot more for better impact before I send this off to Priceline. 2500-5000 signatures would be a nice amount, because those are the kinds of numbers that would spur me into action if I were a CEO of a big company... if you'd like to see Priceline implement these changes, please reshare this petition via facebook, twitter, etc. Thanks very much, Leslie.

Please help support another recent petition of mine: "Don't bulldoze 1000 trees for a Moruya highway bypass overdevelopment. Choose the shorter option D/E instead." https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/405/817/554/
I don't know how they can get away with this in the year 2021, I really don't.
Thanks very much, Leslie — etsy.com/shop/vayakora
