Let Kodak know that you would buy gelatin-free film!

Let Kodak know that you would buy gelatin-free film!

THE PETITION
Gelatin is used in the film of 35mm cameras. Gelatin is also found in
cows. Thats right...the jello brand gelatin you eat contains grounded up
bone marrow from many animals including horses, cows, pigs, and other
farm animals. Support the rights of animals and the environment by
asking Kodak to support us in our fight for animal welfare without
compromising many peoples love for photography.

DESIRED OUTCOME
To let Kodak know that a gelatin-free film is more animal and
environment friendly and that you would support them 100%.

WHO WE NEED TO INFLUENCE
EVERYONE! Espescially photo-lovers and animal rights activists.

HOW LONG WILL WE CAMPAIGN
As long as it takes.

Why bother? Film is a dying medium and will only be available to specialists in a few years time.

Sad to say many people now view these 'activists' as terrorists or at least as supporters of/apologists for terrorist activities. Their activities have done much to alienate the people whose support they need. I will resume my support for animal rights when the asylum is no longer being run by the lunatics.

 

Why on earth would I buy gelatin free film when I don't buy any film
now.

Seems to me if you really care about this you would tell people to
simply stop using film right now altogether. After all why wait for
gelatin free film when it is so easy not to use film now?

FYI, *all* film needs gelatin for the latent image to be retained until
development, and not just 35mm. Pre-gelatin, photogs used wet plates, a
suspension of silver halide in collodion, which had to be exposed before
the collodion dried. Once dry, the plate was insensitive to light.
gelatin was found to have characteristics that allowed for dry plates,
and AFAIK there is no substitute.

You are also overlooking the fact that the source for gelatin is the
same as for your meat - unless you are a vego and decry meat as well.

You sound to be young, idealistic, and ignorant of what you are on about.

Do you think that gelatin might come from all the animals that are
butchered for food ? You do know where all that meat in the grocery stores
comes from, don't you ?

Thanx for the joke !

I am still laughing.

I think I'll make some gelatin for Tomorrow's dessert.

 

Because there is a chance that it will not.

Yes, our beloved leaders just passed the "Animal Enterprise Terrorism
Act"

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h109-4239

Which is so vague that one might be considered a terrorist just because
they don't use animal product.

They spend all their time on this act and where is Osama?

 

Why did you reply? If you shoot digital it does not concern you. I
potsed this only in alt.photography

It is not me to tell people what to do. All this is promoting is an
OPTION to gelatin based film.

And I stopped using film in 1998 because I am a vegan. I still like the
look of film which is why I am advocating this.

I have nothing against non-vegans. It is a personal choice.

 

Sitting in a cave somewhere eating Jello?

Kodak has already developed non-gelatin based 35mm film but will not
sell it because it is more expensive.

As I said in another post, I am vegan.

I just turned 40 the other day and I have been an idealist since I was
15. There are people who still work to make the world better.

 

Wow, where is all this hostility coming from? All we are asking for is a
choice. I am vegan, that is my choice. It does not bother me if someone
else uses animal products. It is a personal choice.

 

If you think that would bother a vegan, you are confused about vegans.

But if you are serioous, why do you think it is funny?

 

Probably. Terrorism breeds terrorism.

 

So this seems sensible to your? That Kodak is going to spend time and
money changing a product that is rapidly dying and reformulate it
without the use of gelatin?

Of all the used and abuses of animals that you would go after to stop
this seems like a very odd one. For one thing since gelatin is a by
product there would not be any animals saved. Just how much sales do
you believe Kodak is losing because of all the Vegans out there what
won't use film with animal products in it?

I think this is *very* funny because you are serious.

BTW: I had chopped beef in my linguini sauce for dinner.
Before that I had a boiled chicken egg.

It was yummy !

 

They already have the product. All we are asking is that they selll it
with their other products. No change, just choice.

It is only one.

By not using gelatin the cost of all animal products increase, slowing
down consumption. That is one example.

If we dressed with the skins of executed prisoners would that be ok as
well?

They lost my sales, but that is not the point.

 

I am glad you enjoyed your dinner!

 

Said with tongue-in-cheek...
If we give up gelatin-based film, then we should also give up Jello. This
would put thousands of Jello workers out of their jobs. Would you see their
children starving because of the lack of demand for Jello? On top of all
this, the people who grow the lemons, limes and strawberries will be out of
work because the Jello factory no longer needs their products. In the end,
millions of people will be out of work because the gelatin boycott would
trickle down to everyone who is connected with the trade. Cardboard box
makers... printers... sugar plantation workers, delivery drivers for each of
the connected trades. In the meanwhile the animal carcasses will have to be
buried in the ground instead of being made into gelatin. I doubt that the
animals care much about their hides after their flesh has been eaten.

If you really want to protest something, protest digital cameras because
they are collectively capturing a lot of light, thus making the world a
darker place.

 

Does this also apply to McDonald's?

or hamburgers, hot dogs, barbeque, steak, and chicken noodle soup? Or
thanksgiving dinner?

Don't eat animals - eat animal rights activists instead.


(why did I even read this post in the first place?)

Who's going to feed the farm animals when we stop consuming them? The
truth is, if you achieved your goals, those animals you pretend to be
protecting would be subject to mass starvation - at your hands.

What a mindless, unthinking idiot.
