Has anyone else seen these billboards along hwy#2 ??? I am not any part of this group and I'm not sure if it's not more of a selling opportunity as they are sponsored by Lush cosmetics. Was reading on their site some of the wolf myths...seem a little off base. Must have cost a fair penny to put up those billboards. I wouldn't have known this organization existed without the sign.

Just started reading it too.

They do say stop poisoning wolves with Strychine, which is actually the same position as the AFGA.

Quite likely for different reasons though...

Well it's sure neat for cosmetics peddlers to take a stand on something! Perhaps if Lush Cosmetics and industry competitors were really concerned for the environment and wildlife they'd just close down shop. Nobody needs blush or eyeliner, etc, etc. Imagine all of their manufacturing plants closed and not creating greenhouse gases, or all the fuel not burnt by their delivery trucks and farm vehicles/mining equipment operating to source their oils and pigments. There would be savings and environmental goodness galore in all the ink and paper not being used in their BS print advertising that's designed to make women feel inadequate without using their crap. Wouldn't the world be a better place with fewer cosmetics shop staffers?

But then how would we put lipstick on a pig?
