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. Of course you would. You have a lot less interest in boating than you do in snip 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? ;-) I wonder if J.D. Powers surveys these labs... |
