Sorry, I couldn't help it

Does this count as animal labor?

If they consider that then the microbes working to digest their food consistute animal labor so they've got some decisions to make

Indeed. I was joking.

Very few modern soaps (even bar soaps) are still made with animal fat. Most so called liquid "soaps" are technically detergents.

We don't have to tell them that

Isn't an anionic detergent chemically the same as "soap" component of saponified fat/triglycerides? Just now we don't use animal fats as the sources of our triglycerides.
