i love animals. i could never wear fur. it's just really creepy, regardless of how i feel about animals.
i think most members of PETA, while they have good intentions, are completely out of check with reality. they do the most ridiculous things and just get people outraged instead of informed. they could do a much better educational program than the nonsense they do like climbing up buildings and throwing around paint. it gives normal animal activists a bad name and little respect.
i saw a picture the other day--can't remember where---of a woman holding the skinned body of a large animal. i wanted to throw up. the idea that many of these animals are skinned alive so as not to ruin the fur is just sickening. and the carcasses are just tossed in the trash. heartbreaking.
now i really am on the fence with leather. maybe i'm a hypocrite since i wear it. my hope is that they use the rest of the animal for meat when they take the skin for leather. does anyone know for sure?
