One other thought, just totally out of left field here, but I remember
reading in the past that groups like PETA always had it in for Kodak,
Fuji, etc, because of the use of animal based gelatin to make film.
Maybe I am completely silly for drawing that connection here, but in the
long term, maybe all these things add up. Who knows.
I've heard the PETA ("People for Ethical Treatment of Animals") comment
before. Since the gelatin is made from 'farmed' animals- animals raised
specifically for food- so I don't have much sympathy. Plus, I grew up on a
farm and chased quite a few cows in my younger years. I'd be happy to know
that any of those cattle are now a part of my neg files!
I vaguly remember in an online group a photo newbie wanting to know about
the animal-to-film connection. This person said they were a vegan and were
very uncomfortable using film if it caused the deaths of helpless animals.
Apparently they weren't too concerned about the deaths of humans due to the
toxins in electronics manufacturing for digital cameras!
