Crow’s feet? Creased forehead? Sweaty armpits? Botox is regularly touted as a solution in the Swiss media, but few reports mention the animal cruelty involved.
A Swiss animal rights group, the Verein gegen Tierfabriken Schweiz (VgT), has been staging demonstrations to raise awareness of the problem.
“There’s been a lot reported on botox, but very little about the animal cruelty aspect. So the best thing is to provoke,” according to VgT president Erwin Kessler.

In a perfect world, we would not need botox, simply because everybody would be happy with their bodies. But somebody gave these poor souls the idea that they didn’t look good, so they started to feel bad about themselves. It might have started with a little remark that one needed to pluck the few hairs growing between the eyebrows….. 😉
If every botox treatment came with a gift-voucher for psychological help, the problem might go away.
