Someone I know posted this on facebook. PLEASE BE ADVISED: if you have a weak stomach, don't look. This took me totally by surprize. It's a PETA ad for fur wearers.

PETA as usual has gone way over the top...

They wont be satisfied until everyone is eating "animal-free" fare and wearing wooden shoes

I agree, care should be put into the animals we consume for food as they are sacrificing themselves for us but a lot of what PETA says is the "right thing to do" is completely unnatural. Unless they can start genetically engenering humans to not require animal protien to survive (something some whackjob with money is already doing Im sure) we have to live with what we are. Do we need to torture animals for our fassion sense? No, not at all. But what PETA and other idjets fail to realize is the majortiy of fur comes from animals that are bred for that exact purpose...an animal on a fur farm wouldn't know its arse from a hole in the ground in the wild. Is it fair to just release them all and see what happens? Im sure there are wild trappers, which is illigal and people should be punished. Im in no way in agreement of using an animal for just one thing...if the animal has to die, care should be taken to make sure that the entire animal has a useful purpose and that its death isn't just to make someone a new pair of shoes. Farms for the purpose of just raising animals to skin and not using anything else is a waste in my opnion...and THAT needs to change.

I love it when I see a vegetarian walking along in the crocodile skin shoes.

Even vegitarians in leather shoes make me laugh. Id rather people be eating the animal as opposed to just wearing it.

Further proof that the majority of people are just well meaning morons with no way to see the big picture.

wearing wooden shoes

ROFLMAO!

You're absolutely right, DJ.

I have no business with PETA. They don't operate that strongly over here anyway. But I do support their poster campaigns - images like that taught me a thing or two when I was younger, and shaped my morals.

I don't like the wearing of fur, I just find it primitive and repulsive.

As a vegetarian, I steer clear of leather handbags, belts, purses, etc. There is so much good quality faux leather around nowadays anyway that I don't feel I'm missing out.

Shoes are harder, particularly for winter shoes, and riding gear. It requires a lot of long shopping hours/internet trawling to find something that fits my feet and is vegan.

I saw on TV a couple of weeks ago that vinyl purses, for example, contain high levels of lead which can be absorbed into the skin. I forgot about it until just now. I've attached a link, even though it's rather off topic. I didn't read the OP's link b/c I just can't seem to read articles like that any more.

Well, maybe power down to a scourge instead of a whip.

Good idea !!!! I was thinking about a plank of wood with nails sticking out of the end......but a scourge sounds good.
