WHY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THE FREEDOM TO WRAP YOURSELF IN THE PELT OF AN ANIMAL
WHO WAS TRAPPED / CAPTURED / REARED / KILLED SO THAT YOU COULD WEAR
ITS SKIN.... |
 |
|
Traps: Animals suffer excruciating pain in
steel-jaw leghold traps for hours or even days before having their
chests stomped on or their necks broken by the trapper.
Bred: This is the glamorous surroundings
in which your coat may have lived its short miserable life |
 |
|
This is how it could have been killed |
|
The farmer told an
investigator that humane death by an injection of barbiturate was
"too expensive"--even though it costs a mere 30 cents
(20p) per animal. So he uses a metal noose pole to lift each fox
from the cage by the neck, shoves an electric prod in the animal's
rectum and forces a metal conductor into the mouth. A flip of a
switch shoots 250 volts of electricity through the fox's body.
According to the investigator, "The fox's eyes usually shut and the body goes
rigid. There is a crackling sound...and sometimes teeth break and
fall out....Often the anal probe falls out. When this happens, the
fox convulses, shakes and often cries."
Death doesn't come quickly.
Because the electricity does not go through and stun the brain, the
foxes remain awake and feel the full excruciating force of a massive
heart attack. Tom Amlung, a veterinarian and administrator for St.
Clair County, Ill., animal control, says, "...The animals do
not lose consciousness...for one to two minutes. The time...seems
like an eternity, so one can only imagine how the animal must feel
experiencing this pain during this time with the electricity running
from one end of his body to the other while heat builds up at the
site of the electrode." |

What did they eat ? - More
cruelty beyond belief. |
|
The foxes were fed cast-off
chickens sent by a pharmaceutical company. The chickens, who have
already suffered at the hands of experimenters, arrive by the
thousands, their little hunched-over bodies shoved into sealed
cardboard boxes without food, water or space to move. The investigator documented the farmer stacking the boxes upside down in
a corner of his barn and covering them with a plastic tarp to slowly
suffocate the chickens. For hours, the chickens could be heard
trying to escape. When the farmer cut open the boxes and pulled them
out, some were still alive.
"The farmer forced the
live chickens feet first into the grinder," recorded the investigator, "while they were conscious, fighting, squawking
and flapping for their lives. You could hear their screams over the
roar of the engine. He would sometimes get a smirk on his face when
the chickens' final protests were cut short." |

BUT OF COURSE THAT'S FINE SO
LONG AS YOU LOOK GORGEOUS ! |

On the fabulously worthy television programme 'Live Talk'
( ITV Lunchtime ) idiot females Nadia Sawalha and Jenny 'Wheel of Fortune' Powell
said how they'd LOVE to wear real fur. Golly, how brave and daring of
them.
Jenny made a reference to it being like caveman times when we would go
out and kill the animal, eat the meat, wear the fur. ( Kill it, skin it
and stitch it yourself would you Jenny ? I think not ).
Have a slice of kitten pie Jenny ( yes cat fur is used on fur
coats ), oh ( but that wouldn't be nice would it, its not the same if its a mink or
fox, right,? ) and if we're going to hark back to caveman times, you stupid
woman, lets see you after you've given birth without the epidural eh love
? And lets see you without your slap, and the many MANY hair products you
must use to get that 'I'm so stoopid I just fell out of bed look'.
DOH!
BTW - Nadia Sawalha said that her sister Julia ( Saffron in Absolutely
Fabulous ) is not of the same opinion, and that Julia hates fur.. Go Julia! Bad Nadia. Julia Grrl Points 100
Nadia Grrl Points
-1000.
I'm sorry, but if you really think that a real fur coat looks cool,
and doesn't make you look like a sad tired old hooker, then you're much
mistaken.
And if you're going to spend thousands on a coat, then that just
makes you selfish and greedy and CRUEL CRUEL CRUEL.
Its not sassy to feel clever about wearing death and pain. Only
stupid vain bitches wear real fur.
Give some money to charity instead and stop being a selfish greedy
idiot.
btw - Two days later after using a chat room Nadia was heard to say that
she wants to 'buy an internet'.
Two days after that she said that she LOVES the Miss World contest,
hates all that Political Correctness.
LOL
Doh

You only wear the fur because you think it elevates you to some level of
bourgeoise horror that Marie Antoinette would aspire to if she existed
today. Some kind of Ivana Trip. Tragic.

| According to PETA, New York City fur salons, including those located in Macy's,
Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf Goodman, and Saks Fifth Avenue, have been caught
on video repeatedly lying to customers about how animals are killed to
make fur coats.
In the video, many of the salespeople tell the undercover investigators
that laws protect animals on fur farms, when, in fact, not a single U.S.
law regulates fur farms.
Urge all of the following stores to evict their fur salons on grounds
of consumer fraud.
