Ouch... Can we? I have asked to my self this questions 1000 times. A couple of years a go a friend of mine came to my apartment and found over the table my membership card of PeTA. He looked at it and asked me: How can you? I was totally lost. Then he asked me: Don't you work for L'Oreal on 3 brands developing all kind of crap for them? so how come you are a member of PeTA but your work for a corporation that test on animals. I still try to answer that question to my self. I guess it depends. If you have other clients (when you are a freelancer as I am) that can pay as much as the French company does and you can support yourself with those clients you can always say NO. I found a way to AT LEAST kill the guilty feeling... I donate 10% of my earnings coming from the company to PeTA.. but I still feel like sh*t about it... I work for the Fashion Industry and I face this dilemma every day. I have said NO to work on any collection that promotes FUR. I have turned my back to Tobacco companies... Yet again I think the FDA is poisoning us approving all kinds of weird medicine just because lobbyist are very good at throwing money at them... and consume mostly Homeopathic Meds BUT another of my clients is a LAB..... THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO TO SLEEP NOW! LOL I don't know I think to work in this industry sometimes you need to be able to bend your own rules... One funny tidabit... most of all those companies that have hidden agendas, have the new tool for Hypocrites: CSR (Corporate Social Responsibilities) just go ahead and ask British Petroleum if CSR does exist indeed! LOL! To be honest... now I'n Torn
