Dig deeper Watson!
PeTA’s just a bunch of animal-killing hypocrites anyway.
P. eople E. ating T. asty A. nimals — yup I’m one, although I wouldn’t mind snuggling up to some fur after seeing this photo.
I myself am all for eating the cute animals. One goal is to have a meal that features the entire barnyard. The closest we’ve gotten is a turducken with pork sausage stuffing.
the cuter they are the better they taste, as everyone knows
*stamp*
Being an omnivore doesn’t give us the right to torture animals before we eat them though.
Yes it does, because the sweet tears of the tortured animals season the meat oh so nicely…
Well, ok I mean I’ll give you that. But that’s not a right, that’s privilege.
I want it added to the Constitution as a right, dammit.
So, this is just a temporary situation then?
*snerk* Clearly. *stomps off with a picket sign reading “States’ Rights Now!”*
*giggles* I heart you froo.
Fur for fashion is cruel and outdated. Good for this woman for protesting!
…who let her out of the kitchen?
X2…now go make me a sandwich
Lemme guess… der wearin bamboo cottin?
ur – mebbe shez protestin der Lovely Flowin Hare.
I tink u rite- dey all has same hare style- must be from goldy ‘treever goggies! =(
For the record, I am kidding with my above comment.
Explaining myself FAIL :-p
I don’t see any fur on those models.
It would have been blurred out if you could see it. THIS IS NO PORNO SITE!
taaaahahaha.
It’s the fur you don’t see that is important.
Do I need to tell Jane what a pervert you are, or just enjoy you being a pervert? Hmmmmmmm………..
You think I don’t know?! *shudders*
LOL. Must be fun
Not when it’s your dad! Although, I have to admit that after almost 30 years of life I tend to just ignore him.
Hey! I was only talking about saving the little Beavers! … oh Dam.
I sure hope my fur coat and beef hamburger are dead. o_O *eats some bacon*
Mmmm, bacon
tasty tasty bacon!
What, you never saw that amazing article in the Weekly World News: “WOMAN’S FUR COAT COMES TO LIFE – AND EATS HER ALIVE!!”
It also happened in either Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters2.
Ghostbusters II- just before the Titanic arrives. Great films both!
My four year old loves them.
Your 4 year old has incredible taste in old movies. I commend him/her.
“When an inter dimensional deity figure asks you if you’re a god… you say
YES!”
That’s what she said and yes, my son rocks.
See, that’s the thing I don’t get about vegetarians. They say we’re cruel for killing the things we eat BEFORE we eat them. They, in their infinite cruelty, eat all their vegetables alive.
And you have to kill little furry critters to GROW the veggies. How anyone reaches the age of adulthood without figuring that out… *shakes head*
I have never eaten a live vegetable. They have all been picked before they make it to my mouth and I have yet to see a vegetarian in the garden gnawing on a potato while it’s still alive.
Apparently you’ve never been to Kentucky during harvest.
Drove through, they must have made it to the middle of the fields by then.
Vegetables are alive! Just because you can’t hear a carrot scream when it is cruelly being butchered for a salad, doesn’t mean it isn’t alive and doesn’t have feelings!
Carrot Juice is Murder (Arrogant Worms)
Arrogant Worms reference – YOU WIN
If trees could scream would we be so caviler about chopping them down?
Probably if they screamed all the time.
Ohhh I can has cheezburger? -_- (Sorry, sorry, *ducks rotten tomatoes being thrown* It just slipped out…)
Rotten tomatoes? Wrong site.
So, is she protesting fur at a fashion show that doesn’t seem to be showcasing any fur? Or is she part of the show, which is a fur-less show, and just emphasising their point? The MIB on the right looks like he’s trying to haul her away so I’d assume the former…
I agree with KC, I want my fur and meat thoroughly dead. Especially the fur.
I forget who the designer is, (I’m think Armani, but I could be wrong) had originally agreed to not use fur any more, and then he rolled out this collection that did use fur. Just because it’s not on the pieces in the pictures, doesn’t mean that didn’t go back on his word.
If you’re going to get yourself hauled out by security, say something meaningful, like: “fur is animal abuse,” not fur is dead, we know that already
How about “Fur is fuzzy!”?
Ice is frozen water!
Water is melted ice

Animals have rights too! They have the right to taste delicious, and to get in my belly. I was raised on a farm. When I was four, we got a pig. Now, I’d just read “Charlotte’s Web” so I insisted on naming the pig Wilbur. My parents explained to me that we were going to eat Wilbur, but he and I were still best friends, ’cause pigs are awesome. But they killed him and made bacon out of him. One morning, as we were eating Wilbur, they asked me how I felt about that. I said, “Wilbur was a great pig when he was alive, but he sure tastes good dead.” One can love and respect animals and still think they are tasty.
Very true, one can love and respect animals and enjoy them.
However, was your pig kept inside a pen where he could not even turn around for his entire life? An animal smarter than a dog to be kept immobilized for its life time is cruel, which is what a lot of us non-PETA vegetarians are about. Free-ranged farms are rare- I live in Michigan and most of my neighbors raise their animals with love and respect- but I go to Meijers or Wal-Mart and don’t see any of their meat there- only the giant CAFO brands.
Animals raised for fur now are kept in pens where they can barely move if at all. Often times the skinning process leaves the animals still fully aware of what is happening to it and live long after skinned- which to me is disgusting and horrible.
Fake fur is just as beautiful. If you are a hunter and you hunt for food and wear the animals you kill to keep you warm out doors… good for you!
But keeping minks and foxes in shoe box sized cages is just f-ed up. I would never do that to my dog or my ferret- why should other animals who have nicer fur live like that?
i grew up on a farm to. did you know that if you don’t immobilize the sow she will kill her young, either by eating them or lying on top of them. which is crueler? stoping an adult pig from killing her young by accident or otherwise, or not?
I was just going to say that.
We also used plywood hand boards, plastic bats, and cattle prods to help get those pigs to move, they can be very stubborn.
Also, either a cane or a jokey style whip was required to show the pigs at the county fair (4-H rules).
And chickens >.> god damn chickens and mean bastards. My favorite critter was the turkeys we raised, stupid as hell but man were they tasty
Oh god, I hate chickens! I love where I work, because we process 250,000 chickens a day. Oh, glorious, dead, chickens!! Now, yard chickens are fine, because they aren’t pampered. These little pampered chickens that we process to put on your table irritate the crap out of me
-
@ Seth: I had a calf that was born at Christmas one year. We named him Nicholas. For severals years after his butchering we would ask Mom to ‘go get some Nicholas out of the fridge for supper tonight’. My brother thought we were nuts
Chickens arent bad… its those f*cking roosters! My grandmother on my
father’s side owned a farm and their rooster Boris, HATED me. I literally got attacked everytime I stepped onto the yard. And by attacked I mean 30-150 stiches worth of talon damage to my back… face… arms… whatever he could
get ahold of. And this was when I was 7… so this 50 lbs. bird one day actually
pinned me down and began to rake my back open, luckily I was wearing my
leather coat so he couldnt get in deep enough to really scar me.
My grandfather blew him off my back with a shotgun…. and that night
I had my revenge on Boris… he was a tasty… cock… there I said it.
I liked cock.. and his name was Boris.
Ack! LOL. I love that story! I’ve never been spurred by a…..er…..rooster, but I did get flogged by a goose once. Big, mean f*cker. Named Larry.
I concur with that view of geese. Mean motherf**kers. Stupid, hissing, angry, malevolent birds. Ducks are much nicer.
We had a mean a$$ duck too, but he was too little to do much harm. It was funny to see him charging across the yard at cars as if he was as big as the giant goose by his side
Ducks r00lz.
I golf a lot, and golf courses have lakes. Lakes attract geese, and geese are just flat-out bastards. They do nothing but shit and eat and shit some more.
The only thing more useless than a goose is a coot — I don’t have a clue what they are supposed to be good for, except maybe as food for some other animal…
I guess to absolve myself from gay bashing a bit more I could have said
“I loved A cock.”
But ah well.. I think Jane, Ema, Froofrou and just about anyone else knows
my orientation… no real need to defend it…… *shotgun cocks* Right?
And to further this strange play on words… I come from a family that
can shoot a cock right off your back.. dont test your luck.
I’m still thinking about the part about how that cock weighed 50 pounds.
Good flamin’ grief – I’m trying hard to stop thinking about that one. Maxwell, your last line would make a brilliant bumper sticker. Beats snot out of “back off”.
I’ll have to look up the breed for you, but this rooster was freakin
huge, and old, so he had a good long while to grow up.
Although I do think its funny my grandmother told me that before
My Pawpaw(my name for my grandfather) came out to my rescue
the sentence that sealed Boris’ fate was “Aw dammit… Im gonna go
blow that cock away!”
lol I had a lovely rhode island red rooster named napolean. Mean little bastard attacked me when he could, but i always wore thick jeans so he just…yeah a foot tall bird just flapping…he wasn’t hard to deal with really, a few nudges and he got the idea that no, i’m bigger, and he’s not hurting me.
It was funny to watch him chase my bro around the yard.
Out dominant hen was the worst, she attacked my favorite chicken :< it was the only smart one of the bunch and she nearly killed it. stupid mean hen.
How the hell did people ever raise pigs before someone got the idea to put them in tiny cages? Jeez. I’m not sure which is worse, the city folks who don’t know where food comes from, or the farming folks who think you have to do everything industrialized because CLEARLY we have ALWAYS factory-farmed, stupid tenderfeet, thar ain’t no other way!
You have to understand that with the industrialized farming techniques over the last century or so, animals have changed from what they once were. No more do we look for the heartiest animal and perpetuate those genes, instead, we look for the animals that grow the fastest and with the fewest health problems. That’s how we’ve gone from having a chicken that takes 30+ weeks to get to 5 lbs to a chicken that takes 6 weeks to get to 6lbs. In so doing we have created an exceptionally stupid bird that has the sole function of eating and growing. If you let the stupid things out they would die. The same thing has happened with pigs, cows, and other meat animals. Because they are so regulated in their growth and development, they tend to be more stupid when it comes to raising their own young. So yes, sometimes pigs have to be immobilized until the piglets are a certain age in order for the sow not to kill them.
-
Do I agree with this type of ‘puppy farming’? Not really. Can I do anything about it? Nope. Do I care? Mmmmmmmmmmm, pork
I have to admit that I care a little. My parents run a very small farm–just a couple of fields and some cattle, a horse (for my niece), some sheep and chickens. I don’t buy much in the way of meat at the supermarket because the beef and chicken my parents produce is superior–the animals are let to graze almost year-round, and are given no growth hormones or other drugs to affect the flavour of the meat. The chickens are still stupid, but they know when to get the heck out of Dodge (when a hawk comes by, for instance, or a cat). My parents observe the slaughtering process so they know that the animals are killed humanely, and the carcasses of the cattle are hung for a few weeks to age.
Meat good.
Isn’t this kinda also what’s been done with the NFL?
Grow ‘em big, grow ‘em stupid, toss ‘em aside when they’re done.
I’ve never heard of a pig getting a multi-million dollar contract. Except for Michael Vick.
Toss then aside, or give them a job on TV?
same thing?
She has to be immobilized her entire life to protect her young?
I believe they were only chatting about the immobilization until her piglets are old enough to not die. not saying “lawl we think keeping aminals in tiny cages is pwnsome”
You’re right. It’s amazing the species ever managed to perpetuate itself without us.
I refer to the old Dennis Leary quote…” We’re only interested in saving the CUTE animals”…
“I’m an otter! I swim around and do cute things with my hands!”
“Frankenstein never scared me…..”
“……marsupials do though…….”
“……cause they’re FAST.”
You should notify Koalas of this, they don’t seem to know they are fast.
Koalas are so stoned they probably think they’re fast. *Whoah!*
Koala – Keanu.
Hey! I never noticed that before!
*whoa*
There is no Eucalyptus… ONLY ZUL!!!
“F*** due, how much did you drink?”
*dude. (D’oh)
ohhh… no, fake fur is so fake it’s obvious and weird feeling. How do you feel about fur made from an animal that was wild and was hunted?
Hooray for trappers.
especially when the area needs culling anyway. I got a pair of rabit fur lined boots for winter <3<3
I had a fake fur jacket everyone thought was real. You wouldn’t believe the s**t I got from strangers, even after I pointed out it was fake (most didn’t believe me), so I stopped wearing it, though it was one of the warmest jackets I ever had. Wonder if I’d get as much doo doo if I switched to goose down?
Just move here to Nebraska. Heck one of my friends, who is a strict vegetarian, was wearing a fur lined coat last night (it was probably fake though).
There’s different kinds of fake fur. The cheap stuff is horrible, but some of the more expensive stuff is pretty good.
Not to mention, On vegetable farms, how many bunnies and woodchucks and mice, moles/voles, not to mention insects get killed to grow our vegetarian food. It’s a little misguided to think that just eating vegetables keeps animals from getting killed. Not saying you are one of “those” type of vegetarians, since you specifically mentioned a certain type of farming, but… Most people have no idea what goes in to producing food of any kind. I really did grow up on a vegetable farm. We specialized in sweet corn (as opposed to field corn) and potatoes.
Let alone the deaths involved with their highways, electricity, infrastructure, the building they get their food from, etc, etc.
I don’t know why, but that reminds me of when Pink (or P!nk as she excitingly likes to call it – maybe she’s a Kalahari Bushman) went to Australia and got stuck into the sheep farmers for docking their lambs tails. Then someone showed her pictures of a fly blown sheep and she conceeded maybe it was a good idea. Sometimes it’s kinder to do something that seems cruel (such as culling or docking) than to let nature take its course, especially with animals introduced to a region.
I grew up on a dairy farm (funny the amount of people commenting in here are country folk!) and people still try to tell me milking machines are cruel, as it removing a calf from its mother. But they give no thought to where the milk for their latte comes from.
Not to mention what will happen to the cows if they don’t get milked on a regular basis. Don’t they get sick and die if they aren’t milked?
Yep, they get mastitis like lactating women.
Sorry, I didn’t read that properly. They don’t usually die. They don’t explode in a big milk fountain or anything. The biggest problems if they don’t get milked regularly is that they may get mastitis (inflammation of their udders), they will be cranky and irritable because big, full udders are uncomfortable, and then they will go dry. You can treat mastitis with antibiotics if your cow gets it too.
As a lactating mom, I totally understand their pain, believe me.
Though, when I hook myself up to my breast pump, my husband has forbidden me from moo’ing. I thought it was funny…
I have to pump at work. My boss put a do not disturb sign on the door with a picture of a cow being milked
TFF–What a cool boss!
Binding your breasts with frozen cabbage leaves also helps ease engorgement.
(‘Though you’re obviously past that point. Keep note for next time.)
That’s only if you’re trying to dry up. KoS, have you ever missed a pumping because you’ve slept through it? *shudder*
Now that would be a paddock worth stopping for. Cows with frozen cabbage leaves around their udders. (I know you were referring to human mothers, not cows, but the thought is pretty amusing!)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t grated carrots good for something too? Cracked nipples maybe?
**shudders** Yesh, swollen tender, inflamed boobies are no fun… fortunately, my son is almost weaned, and those days are almost behind me.
A stomach virus does wonders for weaning. *blark*
Also, if you don’t cull the male calves, the pasture gets dangerous for the ranchers real damn quick. More than one bull per herd means fighting bulls. That’s not something to play around with.
TBH mink is the one fur I have no compunction about using/wearing – mink are nasty little sods. Witness a load of them being released in the countryside near where I live by protesters and proceeding to kill off half the rabbits, voles, moles and otters in the area.
I won’t use/wear other types of fur, but I have NO problem wearing/using mink fur.
True, I do love animals and acknowledge that they’re tasty. But my will power helps me to also not eat them anymore.
I also certainly wouldn’t eat a friend of mine, no matter how tasty he was. I think your point got a little convoluted.
You might just be seeing things differently.
I know that if a pig got hungry and I was in the pen, I would be eaten.
Pigs aren’t outright violent (unless you mess with their piglets, they can be worse than a mother bear), but they will eat everything that is edible, especially their own young (that’s why we must keep them in a crate where they cannot turn around until the piglets are old enough).
I have a good friend who used to work for the Coroner in our county…he once to tell me a horror story about a woman that had died and went undiscovered in her house for eight days. She had four cats who went hungry for eight days and had nothing to eat except the corpse…
whats that got to do with fur?
Nothing, unless you want a cat-coat.
I was responding to Cobrajoe’s idea that if he were stuck in a pen full of hungry pigs…
My sister had a boyfriend who wore glasses and worked in a piggery. He told me one day that if he fell into a pen and knocked himself out that all that would left of him was his glasses. He also told me that pigs have corkscrew shaped wangs, afact that no one has ever verified for me.
Incidentally. some guy in Canada kept pigs and fed his murder victims to them. When the police raided his farm they found a whole lot of DNA, but not many body pieces. Gruesome.
Apparently there are women whose job it is to just jerk them off all day for artificial insemination. And it has to be women, the pigs get antsy otherwise. I wonder if they dress up nice for them…
Wow. That’s quite the job. A pig fluffer. Maybe they can be called a pigsterbater.
Wow, the things they don’t tell you at career day.
Ya, animal husbandry is very quirky I hear. I do my best to not know details but after learning that bit from vet students, my imagination has punished me from time to time…
Wow indeed. Mind you’ if someone at the pub asked her what she did for work… I have no idea how she’d answer. “Checkout chick in Coles”, I think.
Happy Endings?
Oink oink baby!
I can vouch for the corkscrew wangs, it’s bizarro but true
I’m not entirely sure of the authenticity of this, but i have heard that gangsters would make deals with pig farmers so when they would need bodies they would hold off on feeding the pigs a day or two and let them eat the body.
“You’re always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it?
Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead.
You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you?
They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm.
They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.”
Snatch – Brick Top
*Applaudes Maxwell’s quote*
Excellent film.
“like curry to a pisshead” ??? (I understand the gist through context, but what exactly does this mean?)
Lots of Indian restaurants in dear old England, and there’s a magnetic attraction between beer-swilling hooligans and arse-burning vindaloos. Pisshead – Brits and Aussies refer to alcohol as “piss” (efficiency of process, I guess… drink enough Guinness and you’ll end up weeing Budweiser). Pissheads and curries have some powers of attraction. Never could figure out why – then pints of lager to put the throat-arson out?
That makes sense–Thank you! I’m originally from Cajun country, so I can relate to the spicy part. Perhaps the food needs to be spicy, so the drunks will notice that they’re eating something?
Strange reciprocity. Hairy-chested boy needs to prove manhood by eating the most volcanic food on the menu. Needs much beer to put the blaze out. More beers, more courage… REALLY unattractive at three in the morning…
Ooops – enter’d too early. The phrase best suited would be ego-testicle. You get that with Mexican food over there?
Nowwww you’ve got me thinking about Cajun food… serious lack of availability here, apart from a bottle of spices to throw over chicken. I still try some cooking – I love making a pot of dirty rice, but the last attempt at blackened fish resulted in the curiosity of the fire department. Humourless bunch, they were, too…
Love dirty rice!
Actually, stouts and porters go well with spicy food. They cut the capsaicin and coat the mouth better than lager. Nothing like a Guiness with your radioactive prawn vindaloo.

Your reply made me LOL
you don’t sneak much past the little girl pulling 14gs do you?
Ah yes, I do love it when they state the obvious. I also don’t have a thing for watching skeletons with hair walking about on runways so I wouldn’t have seen this protest anyway.
I can never work out if it’s a taste for pre-pubescent children, or necrophilia that fuels the fashion industry…
Maybe it is a taste for dead pre-pubescent children… Ew… Ouch, my brain…
I admire the efficiency of the thought…
Oh but hun… those are some damn sexy skeletons! >.> Bones are so sexy don’t you know?
I just died a little inside.
@ Uncle Fester: You would.
Always that last half turn of the screw
My friend has a theory that most male designers are gay, so they want models who look like boys. The earliest models were busty, with healthy hour-glass figures. The women’s figures were thought by some to distract from the design of the clothes, so designers started opting for skinnier models. I think it has gotten ridiculous.
Also check out models from bygone days and you’ll see they used to smile, instead of stalking down the runway looking like death warmed over.
Ah, the good old days… I miss curves being hip. I still love curves, to hell with society. I will take cuddly women. Over and over and over again too.
I am glad my hubby loves him some curves too
Nothing beats a slack handful…
Nothing beats somebody actually cuddly to cuddle with. I like there to be meat on them bones…
It’s more the second part – smaller figures don’t interrupt the line of the clothing as much as larger ones do.
Male models for fine clothing usually are small-framed and very thin, too, even though that’s not the cultural ideal look.
lol! im all into animal rights in stuff…i don’t wear fur, im a vegetarian (not a strict vegan), i try not to buy products tested on animals, but common! these models arent even wearing fur! plus wouldnt a more creative sign be more eficient? like saying something funny? i saw this shirt that said: Fur is sexy if your into necrophelia and beastiality. Peta started out with a great idea that turned out just wrong, like dumping blood on people. You think thats gonna get people to stop. i’m all for animal rights but Peta has gone too far. A better organization is Mercy For Animals. And ChooseVeg.com nice caption!:)
Dumping blood? Whose or what’s blood? Either way it is mistreatment of animals. Bloody hypocrites.
“Bloody hypocrites”
British slang pun win!
No, I think yodel is talking about activists dumping blood on people wearing fur. Some of them went so far as putting bumper stickers on leather purses. That’s dumb, because leather uses a product that would otherwise be thrown away.
Gawd it’s late! Leather doesn’t use a product–sheesh! Leather is a use of a product that would otherwise go to waste.
But if PETA had their way and forced us all to be vegan, then the cows would not be killed in the first place. Then there would be no by products to use. IT ALL MAKES SENSE, PEOPLE!!!!
*by-products. Jeez…
I said it earlier, just because the pieces in the picture don’t have fur, doesn’t mean that other pieces in the collection don’t. The designer went back on his word and the only way they found out was from the runway show.
That model on the left (right? not good with sides…) has a TRASHY top.
But that trashy top is probably worth a few thousand dollars.
As Dolly Parton said, it takes a lot of money to look that cheap.
It cost the RNC about $150,000….nah…that’s too easy
But soooo good.
LOL Agreed. Palin-Slap Win!
Maybe the sign refers to the models…down there. Porn has made bald all the rage. *sigh* Fur IS dead.
So maybe the sign should’ve said “Wax Lives”
ABSOLUTE WIN!!11
“Wax Hurts like Hell” ???
Never appreciated that one until the vasectomy. I must say, I’ve never raised that waxing business with my wife ever again. Bugger cruelty-to-cute-bunnies – THAT was some kind o’ torture! Brrrr. Wax… Dunno what was worse – the application or the removal. Whoooph!
OMG best laugh ive had all day! fur IS dead
As they say in politics, “OUT WITH BUSH!” ;D
Some of us men are fine with pussy however it cums. Carpeted or hardwood floors… I’m not there to walk on it, I am there to plow the field.
Suddenly,Kenny Chesney’s ‘She thinks my tractor’s sexy’
has a whole new meaning….
AGH!!!! *runs away*
And there you have it ladies and gentlemen proof that the tractor is indeed NOT
thought to be sexy.
Heh, I already knew that.
You have to confess, it’s strangely erotic…
I knew you would comment in this thread.
Another example of the pedophilia in fashion?
peta-philia!
Ouch. Just … Ouch.
i believe the protest/runway takeover was because the designer uses fur, despite available alternatives and the fact that any other non-animal fabric is an option. it’s annoying to see an industry so pointless as the fur industry still exist today — it serves no purpose but vanity. ah well.
You know what? In the balance, fur is a LOT more eco-friendly than that “high-tech” fiber they keep coming out with for cold-weather clothing. You have to go drill the oil, then cook some chemicals up in one factory, then transport them to another, then make the friggin’ fiber, then transport it somewhere else, then have a bunch of underpaid third-world workers make it into clothing, then transport it back to the States and drive it all over the country.
With fur it’s straightforward. Kill animal. Skin animal. Tan hide. Put it all together. Presto, fur coat. And WARM.
And, everything’s biodegradable. And you didn’t have to warm the earth up five degrees to do it.
Go figure, huh? In the end, the vegetarian way of doing things is a lot worse for the environment. Like their fake leather. It’s all vinyl. Vinyl is so terrible for the environment, man, you just don’t know. The factories pump out carcinogens into the air and the whole process of making the stuff lends to global warming. Oh, but we’re s’posed to be scared of cow farts.
What about wool? Natural, nothing gets killed, carcinogens not released, etc.
Oh, or alpaca! Nothing dies to get the fiber, everyone’s happy, right? Um, no, since Peta seems to think in order to get the wool off a sheep, it has to be DEAD. PETA FAIL! Idiots.
No, PETA opposes wool because the sheep are bred to have folds in their skin (to make more wool), but then the folds around their buttocks can hold feces and lure flies, so the breed-to-be-that-way sheep are mutilated without anesthesia by shears to remove the folds near their buttocks. This is called mulesing. Basically, they have their asses carved out without an aspirin. I think most people would avoid mulesed wool, which is what PETA campaigns against.
wool is good if you’re going to get wet. For snow wear, wolf is recommended by the likes of Ranulph Feinnes (and anyone who spends that much time in trans-polar conditions has an opinion worth listening to)
Sadly, no. Though the Canadian Fur Council is trying to promote fur as an environmental alternative, there are two problems: treatment of animal pelts to preserve them involves a number of elements which are bad for the environment. And the larger point is that people don’t need synthetic fur either– you can wear clothing without having a bit of real or synthetic fur. Look at it this way: fur is often considered a feminine “look,” so men really don’t wear it in our society ever–real or synthetic–and they seem to be getting along fine without mandate to pollute nor kill animals for fur.
ok, so for s&gs… drop the fur argument. what about leather? it’s hard to have the clothing (or shoe) industry without leather and the “viable alternatives” to leather are just as awful for the environment as what Dana laid out above.
so yeah, i’ll give you that we could go without fur (as more often than not it’s simply cosmetic)… but what about leather?
Squall.
….and don’t they all seem to be wearing LEATHER Birkenstocks and bad LEATHER jackets? Or are those just the ones they put in public view……
they never seem to have an issue eating salmon, lobster and ridiculously expensive steaks when at meetings at Washington state capitol, where I work.
And don’t forget Ugg boots. They love wearing those too.
Kind of a bizarre Catch-22 here that probably doesn’t get much consideration… Either wear the leather Birkenstocks (brrr… people really wear thm, don’t they?) and leather jacket, or wear vinyl alternatives. And vinyl production isn’t the most marvellous thing for dear ol’ planet Earth. Get the PETA nudie activists up to an Alaskan moose-farm. May well solve a few problems at once!
Should’ve read on. Dana makes a better point of this a little further down…
I certainly hope that fur garments are dead. Didn’t Ghostbusters 2 teach us all that live (or undead) fur can be very dangerous?
Fur is dead? Then don’t look down your pants, hippie lady.
PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals
god, shut me up already
…or at least under her arms…
Is it me, or does she look like she’s just been tazed!!
She’s suffering from iron deficiency.
She just got a whiff of that model’s tan-in-a-can fumes. It ain’t for beginners!
you have to admit the golden-brown snot after huffing a can makes it all worthwhile
Curiously, hippie-lady looks like the nicest of the humans present in the ‘foto.
Depressing isn’t it?
Wait wait…maybe she was trying to get a message to the stage manager. Maybe one of the models is called Fur and died backstage! OH NOES! FUR IS DEAD!
But the show must go on!
ROFL!
Something more shocking would be ‘Fur is people’.
A la Soylent Green?
Soylent green is made of Peeeo-ple! And looks Faaaahbulous!
MIB guy: (sigh) not again… okay miss, here we go, come down from the runway, that’s it, just co-operate please.
PETA girl: I am making a statement, dammit!! A statement!!!
Model: Hmm, that guy in the second row is cute. I wonder how much he makes a year?
AND don’t forget their absurd stance on scientific and medical research. PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk has stated that she would be against animal research even if it found a cure for AIDS. How many of these God-damn PETA hypocrites, I wonder, would jump right into chemotherapy if they were diagnosed with cancer? Do they take Advil when they get a headache? Do they use birth control? All of these medicines were tested on animals. God-damn hypocrites.
Oh here’s a good one, there were actually “under cover” agents who enrolled in a local community college’s vet classes to be sure that our vets in training were nor being cruel to animals. You’d think their time could be better put to use than spying on classes where the entire intent is to learn how to treat animals for their ills.
I’m a firm believer in free range meat because it tastes better. I’m against being cruel to animals for profit. You better not take my meat or fur because you’ll have a fight on your hands.
We can pretend to fight for your freedoms tonight hun. Struggle all you want.
Medical testing on animals is one thing… putting lipstick in a rabbit’s eye is another. Testing makeup on animals is not cool. Unless it’s lipstick on a pig.
I don’t even see the point of sticking lipstick in anything’s eye…
But hey, if that’s what you’re into, we don’t judge around here!
Its puts the lipstick in its eye or else it gets no pellets again?
Really! What goofball is going to put lipstick in her eyeballs? They need to figure out a way to keep us from jabbing ourselves in teh eye when we sneeze putting on mascara!!!!
or on a pit bull? O_o
Was putting lipstick on a pit-bull an act of cruelty, then, or research? What, pray tell, was the finding?
Was putting a lipsticked pitbull up as a running mate an intelligence test? How many passed?
It’s not even necessary. We already know what the safe ingredients are for cosmetics. The only reason they still test is because they keep making up new shit and don’t know if it’s safe, but we don’t *need* the new shit in the first place.
Ditto for housecleaning chemicals. Nobody needs new housecleaning chemicals. I can put together laundry detergent using three ingredients and I know how safe they all are. No need to torture a rabbit for me, thanks anyway.
I remember reading that, years ago, Johnson’s “No More Tears” Baby Shampoo was initially tested in rabbits’ eyes. For efficiency, the rabbits’ eyelids were removed. These radical groups draw a lot of ire, but their extreme stunts cause some attention to be paid, and some changes for the better.
Doesn’t he take insilin(sp?)
These guys are absurd, they’d easily get support for improving living conditions of animals and fighting against trade in illegal animal parts but they just turn people off with the ridiculous hyperbole by comparing the meat trade to that guy who was decapitated by a maniac on a bus or the fur trade to the holocaust. They remind me of people who, instead of putting forward a measured and sensible objection to abortion and practical ways of reducing it, go all crazy-eyed and frothing and pretend they think it’s “murder” or “baby killing”. It just doesn’t do your cause any good, knock it on the head.
Not to mention, instead of just protesting, they have to throw their damn name around with everything. They label everything they do to get attention. Truly, that’s all they are – a bunch of attention whores… Which is sad, because they -sometimes- have good points.
and reminds me of those trying to support gay marriage by burning bibles… I mean… You’ll catch more flies with honey… course the PETA people would probably flip their lid if they heard you talking about killing flies…
Yeah, when I lived in Virginia they were all up in arms about people fishing and throwing the fist back because it was “mentally traumatizing” to the fish.
Or maybe even throwing the FISH back, throwing the fist back gives this a whole new meaning.
Wait, wait, wait… So, instead of throwing the fish back in the water (where it will either live out the rest of its fishy life, get caught again, or get eaten by a bigger fish) they want you to just go “Oh. I don’t want to traumatize the fish” and then put it on the ground where it will flop around awhile before suffocating? Or do they just want you to eat it? Which I thought they were against. Stupid PETA people.
I think they want you to not even fish to begin with. You can imagine how this went down with the good ‘ole boys who fished for recreation. We had quite a few, despite living on the coast.
“Have you ever been too drunk to fish?”
Is that surprising? I would think most people would argue that injuring an animal for no motive other than pleasure is morally suspect.
Far from it, but those of the intolerant mind-frame would dare not see that.
Or using honey. It’s EXPLOITATION!!!1!!one!!!
My wang has heard the magic word and now will dance.
*wang dances and is applauded*
I wonder when he had time to take up jazz dance… @_@ Now my balls are sore.
Too many Jazz Hands will do that to them. Please, I know it’s impressive, but Jazz Hands should be used sparingly.
Duly noted, my manbits are impressive.
A legend in your own lunchbox ?
Mom packed Sun Chips!!!
I was more under the impression that it was jazz pirouettes that lead to that symptom..
Enough QQ!
With a sign like that how did they not see her coming?
She had it stuck up her ass, along with a stick made of smug moral superiority.
Maybe that’s it–We were wondering earlier what made her look like she is about to swoon. She must have eaten a big monster plate of asparagus the night before!
As the owner of a chinchilla, fur makes me sad. At the same time, I refuse to give up my steak. So yeah, I’m a hypocrite. Still, have you SEEN a living chinchilla? Omg cute! Seriously though, I tried to go vegetarian a few years back and I got seriously ill from it. I don’t know what the deal was with it. Now I try to find free range and grass fed meat in hopes that it had a happy life.
Yeah, the reason you got sick is probably because you are a human. And as a human, you are naturally inclined to be an omnivore. That is why all humans are born with canine teeth as well as incisors. Eating meat is what nature designed us to do. Maybe the PETA people should go flip out at a lion for being a carnivore if they think eating meat is so wrong.
Then explain to me why I’m married to the toilet for at least three days if I eat meat? Couldn’t be because I’m an omnivore.
there are people with medical issues that means they can’t handle meat. I know a few vegitarians that can’t handle meat and do their best to avoid it. Humans are omnivores in general, there are people on either side of the spectrum that can’t handle meat, or just veggies.
Handling your diet like a well informed adult is not like getting up on a high horse and expecting others to follow your personal life choices.
It could be that your body lacks or no longer produces the enzymes to
digest the meat. If you go long periods without eating meat and you have a
steak it will mess you up for a couple days.
IBS will cause meat to screw up a person’s insides, despite that person being an omnivore. Been to the doctor about it?
@Christine
It depends on your gut, or rather what lives their. Presupposing one size fits all in nutrition is one of those 19th Century mistakes perpetuated today.
Around the middle of the normal distribution curve of humans, omnivore is pretty good. However, due to genetics, bowel flora etc the curve has far ends. So some of us thrive better on veggies, others need as much protein as they can get!
My point being that just because one person gets sick from only eating veggies doesn’t mean that it happens to everyone. Thank you all for proving it, I know the answer to my own question, just wanted to point out the problems with the argument being stated.
I’m overweight and I swear, I put on my last fifty pounds trying to eat vegan. You have to get energy from either carbs or fat, and diabetes runs in my family, so if I’m not getting fat from animal foods and have to get carbs from grain and beans, I balloon out all over the place.
There’s this jerkwad named Neal Barnard who’s a frontman for PETA and wrote a book about preventing diabetes or reversing it with a GRAIN-BASED DIET. Gee, THAT works well. Not.
Do vegetarian zombies roam the land looking to eat your grains?
OOOOOOOoooo. That hurt!
Aw man :O I made that caption before :-O! *cries*
…and I voted for YOUR LOL because it was capitalized properly… *sighs*
Correct me if im wrong but none of those models are wearing fur???
At the moment the photo was taken, probably not. Fur protests are against designers that use fur, not the individual garments or models. Protesters show up to make a statement to the design house to stop using animal skins, not to wig out an individual garment.
Who’s the guy that’s dragging her away?
you guys don’t get it. she’s saying ‘fur’ the fashion statement is ‘dead’
this should be on failblog
Well you see, if it wasn’t dead it would be classed as a pet
If mink were any higher on the food chain, it would be wearing a blonde!
wow. i was formerly a veggie but i had 2 switch bak 2 meat. i havent thought much bout mai desicion since but i gotta say i missed chicken. no matter how had PeTA tries, ppl will still kill cute animals 4 fashion and the not so cute ones 4 food. unless u eat pupies. the shame on u!
Peta=Fail
