I had a feeling before that their environments were surely pretty horrible, but once I had the above thought, the reality of how atrocious their conditions probably are realy hit me.

I think I read somewhere that they're getting the non-fake fake fur from wild dogs, not captured or boarded animals, which would make it cheaper than real fake fur. But the actually slaughter of these animals would be particularly gruesome

Actually, if the meat gets eaten, I don't particularly care what is done with the hide and fur. My point was though, most of the animals that luxury furs (not this P Diddy dog fur crap) aren't animals that are consumed, ie the chinchilla. I wonder what they do with that meat. I probably don't want to really know.

There is a big thing with this dog and cat fur when it comes to those little figurines of cats and dogs. You can find them at import shops and they have "fake" fur to make them lifelike. Well, it ain't fake. Its coming from real cats and dogs treated horribly, in places like China and other eastern countries.

You know you'd be all over some Chinchilla ka-bobs!

Only if we cooked them up alongside some racoon dog.


I need a barfing smiley.

Sounds like the Roadkill Cafe... haha...

I went to the pet store tonight to buy cat food. They had the sweetest little chinchilla there. Not a pet that I would have, but such a peaceful little guy. I got so sad looking at him thinking that someone would just rip his skin off for an accessory.

its so ridiculous too because what do you get out of one chinchilla? a mitten?

and for people who eat them.. what is that an equivalent to a chicken nugget?

 

[MAC_Whore]

Not even a mitten. Just imagine how many it takes for a coat.

This is sort of reminding me of 101 Dalmatians, where Cruella deVille wanted to kill those puppies for her coat. It takes A LOT of chinchillas for a coat.

I think the creepiest thing in fur that I've seen is these mink stoles that still have the animal face on them and use the jaw to hook the tail to the mouth. Animal lover or not, those faces are pretty creepy.

Heh my Grandma had one of those.

When I was little, my mom and I were cleaning out our attic and found a mink stole (prolly my grandmother's). So gross.

If I saw someone wearing one, I would want to ask if I could see it. Then I would want to use it like a puppet and make it ask the person why they want to wear a dead animal with the face still attached.

Maybe it would still have the teeth and I could have it "accidently" bite them when handing it back to them.

Sorry, it's still early for me.

Wow, have you ever protested outside of Neiman Marcus in SF? Have I pushed you into traffic?

Why does one person's thoughtlessness make it okay for you to be equally thoughtless (and incredibly ill-mannered)? Imagine if we all went around physically accosting everyone we didn't see eye to eye with.. How would you feel if someone were to treat your grandmother that way?

As a matter of fact, I have not. If you re-read my post, you will see that it says "I WOULD WANT TO". I never said that I actually would do it. If I think it's gross to wear a stole, then I am entitled to have my own thoughts and to state them on a public forum...even if it involves joking about turning their stole into a puppet.

Funny that you mention how bad it would be to "physically accost" one another for having different opinions, but you joke about pushing people in traffic.

Touché. But in my case it was a matter of self-defense, as over-zealous PETA peeps were accosting me, and I only had a wee jar of La Mer. I've witnessed the same people being INCREDIBLY rude to others, both verbally and physically, including semi-elderly women, none of whom had any apparent interest in buying fur

I'm all for having strong opinions (and I agree that furs are gross, and especially so when the poor little face is on display, how humiliating), but I also think that we ought to know how to behave in public, and particularly how to respect our elders. Call me old-fashioned...

 

[ms.marymac]

While my sense of humor may be warped at times, I am big on manners...especially with older people. I totally agree with you.

I really don't find that joke funny at all, it's in poor taste and it's offensive.
