So far, I've turned over and rejected 6 items I was thinking
of buying -- all said Made in China on the bottom. (No more buying from China
for me since that BBC/Paul McCartney article that I believe Bonnie or
Belinda sent?)
Re Walmart--they are capable of anything; they certainly
wouldn't worry about a little thing like animal torture UNLESS maybe the entire
pet-guardian population stopped buying from them. I urge everyone to read Nickel
and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich who worked undercover for a few weeks at Walmart
and/or see the documentary movie--"Walmart--the high cost of low price". --It's
being shown free of charge in many places in Chicago, and hope that's happening
elsewhere too.
I haven't stepped inside a Walmart for a decade and will never
do so until they start paying people a decent wage and stop relying on the
taxpayer to subsidize their employees. The Walmart family--I believe there are 5
members--are the richest in America. Yet every new worker is routinely
handed a package that informs them about the subsidies they're entitled to eg
food stamps because of the low wages they earn. Chicago has blocked a Walmart
application to build on the Southside.
Don't buy from Walmart. There is a reason their stuff is so
cheap!
