It's like a little spa that makes them literally wring themselves out like a soaked towel as a literal defense mechanism. Oh, and we do this FOUR TIMES, then they aren't worth doing it again and their lifespan has been cut so we end their miserable existence. AND THEN we proceed to package their corpses for devouring. Pretty ethical huh? much better than just killing them after only one milking, much more efficient this way. (Notice how none of that makes it better sounding.)

How hypocrisy they are

"we just pour acid on them instead😀😀😀😀"

The acid part was a bit crazy. It's still producing stress.

@Oye no it's not

The question for me isn't even if the snails die at the end, but how "more ethically" they consider this whole operation to be. They've only found a way to produce more slime before killing the snails, by exposing them to an stressful environment. It more or less "extends the torture", rather than minimizes it.

I am wondering where the snails got their army of trolls to defend their reputation online..

@@yukinagato1573 Yeah, imagine if they started harvesting poor people this unethically for blood donations in the US, oh wait we do that...they just also get paid for it and get to live after.

@@yukinagato1573 Exactly. But this channel isn't exactly known to care too much about that part of the industry. You get one or two sentences, that's it.

At least everything is used to benefit us so nothing goes to waste lol 😅

Yeah, I think the point they were making is that they don't kill the snails in order to get the slime. This way, they get more slime per snail because they're alive making it rather than just getting the slime that they release when they die. I think it was more an efficiency point rather than a anti-animal cruelty point. But I agree, the way they say it is pretty misleading

But they don’t kill them to make slime they kill then to make other products liek actually eating the snails and using their shells

In all fairness, there not being waisted, everything is being used, can't be any better I say🤷 Although I do agree it's misleading

Yeah right it was like 5min of how great this new process is cuz it’s non-lethal to the snails and then there last 10sec they like but we kill them anyway.

@@James-9999 it's great cause it revolutionized the amount of slime they are able to harvest,while aslo being able to use the snail as food after😉

probably works like a sauna or smth

Then they are just euthanized as if they begged to be put out of their miseries

it's 1000% bullshit. It harms them plenty. What she meant to say probably was "this doesn't harm them in a way that makes them unusable livestock later". There is 0 chance the snails are enjoying their acid bath. Like a spa. Disgusting.

As if the narrator was the one to write the script

And neither do other animals

this method uses fewer snails for the same amount of slime and they can also be sold as food like always has been the case before slime beauty products. how does anyone find this operation bad? that same snail would before be 3 snails 2 for slime and 1 for food for the same amount of materials. they are food, to begin with so no matter the other uses they would always be killed to be eaten the same for milk cows. they will also end in a burger and just get to live a lot longer than normal cows. any farm animal passing away any other way is a waste of resources now that is wasteful and polluting.

@@slayin9331 as if the narrator doesn't have her own brain.

Weird choice of words by the narrator. Just admit they were harmed and killed

Cosrx doesn't kill their snails. They collect the slime from snails going over mesh

@@OscarGarcia-kx6xr They still kill them after a few slime sessions though )= just for a diffrent reason than getting the slime so its hard to get mad about it since its the same as animal husbandry

​@@OscarGarcia-kx6xr What are your sources?

​@@Thee_Jadex ok and?

yeah i think the whole thing was painted a bit too positivly

Well, what did you expect? Is there truly a meat business without murder? Is there a single sustainable company? You use all of the animal, and let it reproduce for generations to come. Sure it's a bit positive. But what did you expect?

It's funny how people draw a very vague line in the sand when something is considered animal cruelty. Yes I know it's a snail and by all scientific standing, I can more than guarantee that they have provided research saying snails don't have pain receptors and so on and so forth, but when you scale up the research- would it be ok if say a duck produced the same enzymes under similar circumstances? What about a horse? Chimpanzee? If the extract works, whatever fine, but it's torturing and stressing out the snails, don't paint it as anything but. I could imagine the very same researchers if you place them in the room and sprayed them constantly with a mildly caustic agent to produce I don't know, tears that cure baldness, and claimed it was ethical because the subjects were being fed and they had a room and things to occupy their mind: you're still causing a good amount of pain to create the solution. Rationalizing is an interesting concept to see in practice 😂

keep crying 😂

social justice warrior

They should have said yeah we kill the snails but they st least is not for nothing

The fact that people would rather put snails on their faces and not in their faces should show their general stupidity.

@@aaroniouse i dont understand your point as to why your calling it stupid….

nobody cares about snails , focus on the planet and global warming

@@johansjournal Snails are part of the planet, my guy. They’re an essential part of the ecosystems they belong to and, like it or not, also provide income that some people rely on. The only thing really up for discussion here is animal welfare, and I believe living creatures should be treated with some level of respect regardless of how intelligent we perceive them to be. Besides, if people are allowed to care about animals that humans made(most dog and cat breeds, city pigeons, and feral animals come to mind, all of which came about as a direct result of human actions), why can’t others care about species that originated in nature? The planet is more than just temperatures. Trying to get on peoples’ cases for not discussing climate change and whatever other manmade bullshit is going on when they’re discussing something that conceptually applies to all animals on earth is kinda counterproductive. It doesn’t matter if the temperature of the ocean gets fixed tomorrow if people don’t care about the creatures living there, it doesn’t matter if every poacher gets caught and executed on live TV if people ignore every other problem being faced by what those poachers hunted. Ultimately, any time an animal is removed from its ecosystem, that ecosystem is weakened and thrown out of balance. Sometimes in more noticeable ways, sometimes in ways humans won’t notice until decades have passed. As such the goal is to encourage people to care for all creatures to some degree, even if they aren’t cute or cuddly or cool or fun to look at. Otherwise the planet will just suffer in different ways, or even in the same ways for different reasons. So, to be blunt, go whine on someone else’s comment, this is a pro-snail zone and there’s nothing you can do about it. Metaphorically you’re getting mad at folks for wasting time doing things other than making plans to deal with dry rot when the issue they’re focusing on currently is wildfire prevention. We can do both, it’s not a one or the other issue. Stop treating it like one.

They weren't harmed, they simply slept too deep because of the ozonated water 😂😂😂

Why? They seem like they live a good life till ready for whatever. I think I'd rather get a chance to enjoy life knowing one day I'll die then not live at all. Now if people are salting and boiling them alive to eat? Screw that. Kill the animal as quickly as possible or don't eat em. I've seen the way nature can be worse. In fact last time I seen a snail it was being eaten alive by ants. Edit: Not sure about the whole acidic thing not hurting them though.

@@briicksyy if you eat meat, ur torturing animals so don't even say nun

@@pinkperfumefairy9205 sooo.. Your point?

There's many ways. Some will do it like in the video, some handle the snail one by one rubbing their belly for a few seconds until they released the mucin, some will have them roam on a mesh so that the mucin pass through it. Some will then use them for food, and some will keep them alive for their natural lifespan. It depends on the type of snail (some use the giant african ones for example). Like with every other animal product I use or consume what I really care about is that they're are well kept during their life, are killed humanely without suffering and that nothing gets wasted.

@@HamelinSong Thank you for the additional info. I would feel better if it is the way you described and they have a good life. I wish businesses who rely on snails would be more transparent with their extraction methods.

Don’t believe cruelty free on any animal products :( no animal used for harvesting is given the right life

Damn you care about farmed snails. You must be vegan who cares about domestic animals and prefer not to have tasty food

@@guymontag2948 It's not a good thing for the workers because they're paid a disgustingly low wage. Nevermind livable wage, they barely make enough to just get to work.

Maybe our politics DO differ.

Snail mucin is great for people, like myself idk about others tbh, with fungal acne (depending on the brand) and eczema. And if ya don't know both fungal acne and eczema are very itchy and sometimes very painful

i can get using it for medical reasons like healing or skin conditions because self prioritization/a last resort, but just for cosmetic reasons? I kinda dont get it if it's just to stop your aging. It'll only delay it by a little really, might as well just not use it.

Finally an intelligent comment!

They said explicitly they use acid to make an environment for the snails to produce more slime as a defense mechanism, though. And if you notice, those snails were producing WAY more slime than snails after rain. So it isn't just an encapsulating humidifier.

Yeah, it's not that at all. It may humidify at first to clean them, but unless you're into acid rain, the second part is definitely not harmless.
