I am a private individual posting this message to help
Laboratory Animals. I apologize if this message is out of
place in this group but I think you need to know this.

A new European Chemical Testing Policy called
REACH has now been finalised by the European
Union. Under these proposals Chemicals of every
kind - from those used in industrial processes to the
ingredients of consumer products - will be tested on
Millions of animals from mice to fish to dogs, causing
untold suffering.

If you believe that REACH should make more use of
Alternative Testing to test its Chemicals then please take
action now.

If you are a European citizen please contact your local
papers and own MEP asking them to promote the
development of humane non-animal testing methods
under the REACH legislation, which is the best hope we
have for sparing animals the misery of a testing laboratory.

A sample letter can be found at the BUAV (British Union
for the Abolition of Vivisection) website atwww.BUAV.org
(Select Campaigns, Chemical Testing, Get Active then
Writing to the local press).

For all Non-European members, you can still help.
Please tell all your colleagues and friends in the UK and
Europe about REACH.

Everyone can help and you can make a difference.

Thank You



I think the chemicals should be tested on cross posters.

==============

I think NG Netcops trump cross posters.

Are you ready Chuck?

Glad you're feeling better Jimmy. All the pain gone now? Are you trying to
improve your karma?

Of course you would.
You have a lot less interest in boating than you do in stirring up
crap.

You want to read about cruelty to animals? Go to the appropriate
forum.
Suppose the folks over at the animal welfare site would find it AOK if
people began posting a lot of boating related material there?

So sorry Charlie.........but my interest in boating in the midst of
winter is pretty low. Right now temps are in the single digits, there
is over a foot of snow on the ground and my boat has been tucked away
and hibernating since late Fall '06.

Not all of us eat, drink and sleep boating like you apparently do.
Heck, there are several active members in this NG who are non boaters
and don't even own a boat.

I guess I could repost some JD Power rating spam, but who needs
that.......eh? ;-)

So, let me see if I get this straight: Your particular personal
circumstances and local weather mean that filling up the NG for
everybody else in the world with OT junk would be preferable to posts
that relate to boating. Non-boating content should be encouraged when
it pleases and titillates you, and boating content should only be
allowed if it meets your personal standards. That's sad.

Also sad to think that non-boaters have nothing better to do than hang
around a NG dedicated to a pastime they don't pursue. I don't own an
airplane, but you won't catch me hanging out in the airplane
newsgroups.

Give it up Chuck. No one appreciates your constant netcopping.

If you don't like OT then filter them out. If you are going to bitch
about OT, then bitch about all of them, including dogs, photography,
etc (which I have no problem with) as they are often informative and
interesting reads.

Time to give up the badge Chuck. ;-)
