I'll vote for a tallow version
Before the advent of the motor car the horse population of London was so great it was causing great environmental problems.
Cheers, it's definitely food for thought.London's horse population in the Victorian era is something I knew nothing about, interesting article. Thanks for posting it.

I take it tallow is a byproduct of beef and mutton/lamb being used in the food and pet food industries and would otherwise go to waste.Back on track, there are many shavers who will only use tallow soaps and as well the tallow obtained is a byproduct of normal mammal harvesting and is not derived from say monkeys used for medical experiments.
The market is big enough for both tallow and non tallow, we can both have what we want.......why would you want to force your will apon me by just having vegan soaps?You know, back at the end of the 18th century, the idea of abolitionism was a total crazy and laughable one, until the UK became a leader in that movement.
Soociety is changing and evolving all the time. Crazy ideas become mainstream. Maybe it is time for a switch from tallow to vegetable oils.
I would never want to get in to doing that myself! P.I am not getting the "want to force your will apon"...
If the mammal was being harvested just for the tallow I may give it more thought but the mammal is being harvested for its meat and the tallow is just a by-product that would go to waste if it was not for the cosmetic industry as well as dog and cat foods, knowing that I don't feel at all guilty and nor should I be made to be. PIt is all about, as Bogeyman aptly put it,"mammal harvesting". We can be pro or con. We can argue but slim chance anybody will listen and suddenly go Wow! my bad, I am on your side now
