You are a boxer…now im fucking shaking in my boots bitch. I would still knock your head off, believe me. Oh you poor fucking thing….you live in New York so you HAVE To wear fur….cry me a river bitch. I live in Germany..so I KNOW what cold means…do I wear fur?? NO. I run outside every other day and i still don’t need fur. We walk and bike all over around here as well and still NO FUR on my back. Looks like I can handle the cold just fine without slaughtering an innocent animal. Because of your pansy ass an innocent animal suffers…WAY TO GO! How can you love animals? You are wearing one on your back…Thats lke someone saying…Yeah I love my child but i abuse them every day….dosent make sense..does it? Get a grip on reality.You should be so proud. I will shove my opinion down someone elses throat when It has to do with an innocent animal who has NO say in the matter.

Michelle, I am not an idiot I am also a boxer, and if you ruined a fur of mine, not only would you be knocked the fuck out you would be sued for damages.
That is ridiclous
Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion but not entitled to force their opinions upon others.
And, while it is not the stone ages, people who live in cities like New York, where we walk everywhere, in the cold, yes, we do need adequate protection from the cold, and cotton just doesn’t fucking cut it…
I love animals, nothing anyone else could say to change how I feel, but I think it is trashy and completely IDIOTIC when imbeciles attempt to force their opinions on others, whatever the subject matter is.

GOOD POINT Alitax! EXACTLY! If you need to keep warm then stay inside Biatch…you dont need fur to stay warm. And Chryssi you sound like an idiot. I WOULD be one of those people throwing paint on your ass if i saw you in a fur coat. You must be a selfish person to not give a shit about innocent animals dying so you can keep warm….Like Alitax said…this isnt the Stone ages.. If people only knew what really goes on in the Fur Industry and actually had a heart they would reconsider wearing it.

We need fur to keep warm?

wtf is this, the stone age?

I’ve heard terrible arguments about eating animals, but nobody has ever bothered trying to justify a human’s right to wear fur quite like THAT before.

The only reason to wear fur is selfishness. Pure and simple. Also consider that “fur” from China may be from a cat or dog, so if you wouldn’t give your own pet over to be electrocuted in the anus and skinned–possible alive?–then it’s a no-brainer: don’t effin wear fur.

Guh.

I was making cookies when that commerical came on and I was besides myself .. I was in tears and basically told my husband we needed to get to the shelter to get an animal and he was like, umm no… but again the other night I was watching something and that commercial came on – I have to change the channel now, I get so emotional.

Peta – great cause but I just think they are extreme .. but like you say they get the job done!

I am a huge animal lover, as well, and I DO NOT love PETA. They are bad. Did you all know that they killed 97% of the animals they took into their “shelter” in 1996. Did you know two of the PETA staff in Norfolk, VA were indicted for going around to area shelters and vets office picking up animals under the pretense that they were going to take them back to the shelter and find homes for them. Instead, what they did was kill the animals as soon as they got them into the van. They then dumped them–in black plastic garbage bags–in the dumpsters of area businesses. This is how they got caught. PETA does not believe that we should have domesticated animals at all. They deride the No-Kill movement, and they sanction the immediate killing of pitbulls upon arrival at any shelter, regardless of temperament or good health. Obviously, they also support Breed Specific Legislation for pitbulls.

I network with someone who is a member and rah-rah supporter of PETA. She is of the mind that just because PETA has done this one bad thing, they should still be supported because of all the good things they have done for animals in general. My feeling is that that is like saying, Well, the Nazis did a really bad thing, but just look how many medical advances came out of the torturing of thousands of people for experimentational reasons. Just can’t seem to get behind PETA. So there ya go!

ugh, i am an animal lover and i have NEVER agreed with peta. for one, destroying other people’s property is not okay. especially if all it does if make the person go buy another of whatever it is. i can go either way about eating meat, sometimes i love it and sometimes i cant stand eating something that was alive, but being a vegan is not healthy. a good friend of mine in high school went vegan, and she got super skinny and stopped getting her period. did you know that you have to eat at least 1800 A DAY calories just of beans and rice or some other complete protein to get the protein you need if you are a vegan? you have to plan out every last bite you put in your mouth. if you do not get enough protein, your body will start breaking down the less important parts of your body to make up for it. this is why many vegans who look thin are actually obese, because they have no muscle left, and obsity is body fat percentage, not weight. and don’t even get me started on the fur thing. While I dont think every woman should own like 15 fur coats, the only alternative in warm clothing from animal products (fur, leather, shearling, down etc) is fleece or another petroleum product. if peta (or anyone else) can suggest something as warm as these that is sustainable (fleece is NOT) i would be happy to listen, but otherwise we will continue to use animal products to keep warm. and, like i told my vegan friend in high school, it is easier to get people to buy free range organic eggs than getting them to stop buying eggs altogether! understand that people eat and wear animals, then try to get people to treat them better, not do crazy publicity stunts that barely mean anything and will change no ones mind!
