I don't usually rate threads, but five stars for this one! It shows the dangers to wildlife and the environment very clearly.
In addition to all the suffering we are causing indirectly to wildlife by buying products from palm oil, the products themselves are dangerous. Here in France, foods containing palm oil have been dropped by many of the main supermarket chains (health concerns). But as almost everywhere in the world, sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate are still very common in shampoos. It is difficult to find anything without one or the other.
