A cruelty-free condom has been launched to cater for the much neglected vegan market.
The range of condoms has been manufactured using no animal ingredients or derivatives, in line with vegan beliefs.
Traditionally the processing of latex, used to make condoms, has involved the use of casein - a milk protein.
Vegans shun milk because its production involves breeding calves destined for the meat industry, which they regard as cruel.
But the range from German manufacturer Condomi utilises cocoa powder instead and has been awarded the Vegan Society's seal of approval.
Vegan Society general manager Richard Fairhall said: "Much to their frustration vegans in the UK have long been denied access to a cruelty-free condom.
"The launch of Condomi's range changes all that - no longer will vegans have to suppress their natural instinct to make love not war."
Condomi condoms are available through the Family Planning Association and are soon to go on sale in Superdrug stores priced from £1.99 for a pack of three.<

Be glad that I didn't include the picture.
I am particularly glad that these condoms are cruelty-free. Nothing worse than a cruel condom.

Anything that keeps these idiots from reproducing is a benefit to society.

I remember some boys in my seventh grade science class launching condoms across the room.

BTW, doesn't Planned Parenthood participate in the mass slaughter of trees with all of the paperwork for abortions and contraceptive propaganda? Or....do their clients insist on recycled paper only?

I guess we can send these to Afghanistan. If they aren't in the mood, at least they can eat them.
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
Are they tasty?
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
I don't think it is possible that these vegans can be less useless. What a bunch of morons. The world is on the brink of WWIII and these idiots are rolling out vegan approved condoms.
Lets hope some will be motivated not to reproduce.

Do they come with spermicidal Tofu? Tofu is not spermicidal, It's homocidal.

Remember, a 7th grade boy is not developed enough to form a "snug" fit.
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
They also come in smaller sizes.
