It depends how the question is asked as the LACS have found with their highly suspect polls.

A poll will never be truly representative unless the people being questioned are fully appraised of the facts.

I find that most people don't realise that hunting still carries on, they think it was banned altogether. Or they don't really give a damn anyway as Combat_claire says; it doesn't affect them.

I can hardly think that Lush are going to make much money from this exercise anyway, its extremely bad press for them to be supporting such an extreme organisation. Its a classic example of what NOT to do when it comes to marketing and PR.

Plus that fact that antis aren't renowned for their cleanliness, which just leaves the general public... who don't really care anyway!

Me neither. Sabs mostly stink of roll ups, boiled cabbage and BO.

Am I just overly cynical, but it all smacks of a very calculated advertising campaign on the part of LUSH.

If the stinky sabs fall for it and buy their product it means increased sales, plus it gets LUSH talked about in places they would never afford to buy advertising space in.

Personally I hope the business goes bust. As I'm sure it eventually will once the management have creamed off all the profits.

Yes, many of us hope this business goes bankrupt.
I sent Lush a letter asking (notwithstanding that the The CE was obviously commited to commercial suicide), what the other Members of the Board - and far more importantly, the Shareholders, think of this amazing marketing ploy.
Yes, I received the same blurb which everyone does.
I do hope the National Press - and especially The Financial Times, pick up on this one. In the meantime, keep bombarding Lush with emails!

would rather wash with carbolic soap than use their product. As for the name, well, that just reeks of naffness. 'Oi Shar, you been at me Lush again?' :crazy:

My OH is very strongly anti-hunting, as are a lot of my friends who I have told about this, and all of them think this is a horrible, horrible product.

It's not anti-hunting, it's pro-terrorism, pro-animal cruelty, pro-animal-violence, pro-violence.

It doesn't matter if you are anti-hunting or pro-hunting, if you are AGAINST the suffering of animals, then you will not want to buy this.

My friends who are vegetarian, and members of some animal rights welfare groups have said they will be writing to lush to show their dissapointment as the HSA only lowers their own charities credibility and efforts, because they do not wish to be associated with something which causes so much pain, terror and harm for not just people, but animals too.

If anything, anyone who DOES want to buy this soap should be investigatedby the RSPCA - god only knows what they do to their own animals if they are in favour of stabbing, shooting and stoning live horses and dogs to death. (Ok, OTT, but you get my point).

The number you need to complain to about this is 02074343948.
This is the number for Sean Gifford who is head of ethics for Lush and the main man behind this campaign.
Lets get as many people we can to bombard this man with phone calls! Spread the word!
