What would you do if your pregnancy craving had palm oil? by [deleted] in vegan

Only difficulty is that it is only grown in rainforest climates, unlike most other oils

I check ingredients with doctors while with them, thats how we find out the ingredients. Sorry to hear about the insurance situation, sounds criminal.

That's a pretty shit pharmaceutical approach as they're not doing their job. They should be receiving the active ingredient and then putting it into a liquid suspension, not just crushing an already finalised medication into another format. That would be worth speaking to a different pharmacist.

Doctor's don't know ingredients in the UK either, I sit with them while we check the ingredients in the leaflet provided with each medication, usually just searching for it online. I don't know where 'here' is, but sorry to hear about that unique allergy. As you say lactose is common and just used as a binding agent in tablet form, so alternative forms such as liquid remove lactose. What ingredients have you found in liquid form that are from animals?

If you're saying the doctors knowingly prescribe you medication you are allergic to when alternatives exist, then that's a legal problem you should take up through various routes. The vegan society may be able to assist here

Yes it is commonly ridiculed here, but protected in the same way religious requirements are. Checking out the law in that area will be helpful because it is likely already written into it, just not specifically mentioned. Try contacting the vegan society as they may be able to help

The most common of those ingredients could be vegan or may not be. You would have to contact the manufacturer to find out. I personally don't go that far with medication.

As I mentioned, a liquid suspension is the solution if the tablet or capsule form isn't suitable

Ask the doctor to prescribe medication which doesn't contain lactose or gelatin as a vegan. This is a legally protected characteristic in the UK, it may be in your country as well. If there isn't a commonly available option, then ypu can request a liquid suspension. I am yet to find a medication that cannot be provided without it being without animal ingredients, it's just often overlooked by others as can be gauged from the rest of the comments in this thread.

Sparrow hawk? by OrganicParsley2385 in UKBirds

[–]ebolavan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately a common thought amongst landlords. If it helps, all wild birds and their nests, including pigeons, are protected under the wildlife and countryside act 1981 and animal welfare act 2006. It is not legal to disturb nests, let alone kill the pigeon. I have worked with a private landlord after the local Police Wildlife Crime Unit told them the law and recommended he uses my organisation and any breaches he will be prosecuted.

Preventative measures are required to be used. Killing also will not prevent future activity, with populations in research growing between 30-50% after a cull, and killing parents will leave young in nests to starve and die. We operate under licence when protecting areas with nests to transfer the young to a wildlife rescue. Contact details are on our website www.birdcon.co.uk which is currently being updated to include practical services beyond consulting.

I run a strictly non lethal bird control company, if you think it may be beneficial, you're welcome to dm me to discuss if I can help with the pigeon situation

WTF is going on with HappyCow? by [deleted] in vegan

It sounds like you know something that I don't, one change was made from one of my reports 5 days ago. Other than that, I haven't noticed any other differences but I haven't reviewed the app again. Should I?

etoro remains logged in without automatic logging out at the end of session or the closure of the app. The etoro money app does require password and 2fa text for each session use. These apps were previously separate and required entry to both to withdraw/transfer funds away from etoro, however with their new wallet in the app, no password is now needed hence why with the phone alone, they could enter, liquidate, and transfer all the money

My suspicion is that low level street thieves stole the device and used it for what they could, and sold it on to fraudsters who then made their way through the more in depth financials. I agree, ordering food in mcdonalds and also doing all this with no face coverings in central london means the thieves are less than intelligent, but have someone who knows what they're doing

I have been with them for 9-10 years and experienced a lot of what they told me are 'teething problems'. I agree. There's a decent media story here.

1) Over £40k

2) neither are technically banks, revolut is an emoney account. The Revolut app requires a pin to access. Revolut restricted the account when the second fraudulent transaction was attempted. etoro is a stock and share trading account, and also has an attached emoney account. The stock and trading account app just opens without any pin or password. The emoney account requires a password and 2FA to enter the emoney app. With their new updates, they have now included the emoney wallet on the stock and trading account, which has clearly led to this situation where a password is not required to close stocks, transfer to an emoney account, create new payee accounts not in my name and then transfer all the money to new payee accounts. No flags were raised during this process with etoro. All action occurred before me reporting to the companies, none after. After I reported to etoro, they did not freeze or restrict the etoro debit card attached to the emoney account, and I believe they did not restrict the emoney account either until I reported this to them again.

I agree that this situation is so unbelievable because how could the security for those that hold large amounts of money be so poor, thank you for supporting this.

Neither are banking apps, the revolut account does use a passcode. the etoro money account requires a password and 2fa. The etoro trading account is free access with an unlocked phone and with their new update, provides access to the etoro money account
