and i wish more people care about the fact she died...

absolutly tragic considering it could have been prevented and was pretty much down to goverment negligence...

it does make me angry that she sold body shop to l'oreal and not a company that doesn't partake in animal testing....

You'll find it hard these days to have a company buy another company with no possible conflict of interest

For example the shaving company Wilkinson Sword is owned by one company in turn is part owned by Gillette - so you could say there's a conflict of interest to compete and bring the huge cost of blades down.
