It sounds unkind, but I'd much rather pay £35 for a pair of suede boots in Barratts, than £95 for fake suede ones that either fall apart within 2 months, or look absolutely vile (an opinion which I have gathered after browsing vegan shoe sites). I was a vegetarian for 2 years until about 5 months ago, when I had a ham sandwich, and now I've become too weak to start again.
I wouldn't wear fur because not only am I a hypocrit and believe fluffy mink and chinchillas are worth more than a cow, but I wouldn't be able to afford the stuff. I quite happily wear fake fur.
Haha.. Awwwh!
But that aint what you said. You said we had the anatomy of a herbivore. innit.
we're hunter gatherers, omniverous, we cant graze grass all day nor could we survive just eating animals due to our digestive tracts needing some roughage etc still
we have molars and carnivorous teeth, both smaller than the respective classes of animal
you can live without meat with supplements, like you can live without vegetables with supplements, though personally i like a big variety since nothing beats a veg/meat combo - other than potato curry, but thats in a league of its own
Strange that we have been eating meat for a good few thousand years then isnt it.
And wearing fur isnt wrong, abusing animals to get the fur from them is wrong.
You've been puffing on the crack pipe haven't you, come on, admit it.
Firstly: You may not have canines but i'm pretty sure the rest of us do.
Some proof
Secondly: Again, you may be the exception from the rule but i'm pretty sure everyone else's saliva is neutral. 7.4 on the PH scale to be exact, which is about as neutral as you can get.
Clicky
Please take your ill informed preachy drivel elsewhere.
So killing them for meat is ok but for clothing no?
Personally, I think fur rocks. It´s comfortable, natural and warm. I really don´t see the difference between killing animals for food and for clothing. We need both, we don´t have to necessarily choose animals for said functions but people choose to anyway. If you think killing for fur is barbaric and killing for food equally vile then that´s fine. I just think it´s stupid that people can denounce fur for being evil while happily eating say, battery-farmed chickens which go through, I´d say though I´ve never conversed with one on the subject, a lot more suffering than the animal getting skinned. So come on people, let´s be consistent here.
I say, hooray for meat! Hooray for fur!
So as long as people still eat meat from cruel conditions its ok for fur to be made that way too?
Does that condition apply to people too, they still use torture in some countries, so its ok for us to do it?
That's not what he said and you know it. :razz:
He suggested that for someone to eat battery farmed chickens and then complain about the cruelty involved in the fur trade would be a tad hypocritical.
That´s not what I´m saying. I´m trying to highlight the hipocrasy that most people show with regard to fur. It´s just the same with fox hunting. Ignoring the fact that foxes are vermin and destroy livelihoods and hunting is a damn fun way of keeping their numbers in check, most of the anti-hunt people are quite happy to eat kebabs and cruelly killed meat as long as the sweet little ginger animal isn´t chased by a load of rich people through the countryside. Fucking animal rights dickheads.
Torture has been around since the dawn of time because the human capacity for cruelty is such that it permits us to do these things. We can try our little bit but there is no escaping that humans are cruel and generally, we´re a bunch of wankers as far as species go. Not that it excuses it, but it does explain it.

i think it looks quite tacky tbh
*tips hat, looks suave, and takes Ilora home*
It could just be that I'm detatched from popular culture but I have no idea what this means.

I partially agree with the first bit, but are you not condoning torture in the second bit?
Humans need to wear fur. Fur is the best thing, by far, for keeping the body warm in cold climates. Synthetic materials just don't work as well.
Skinning them aloive isn't the way to do it, but I actually believe that this is made up by PETA, as a lot of these "horror stories" are.
But they are cutesie wootsie and they have lovely little adorable faces.
No. Just saying that humans are cruel by nature so things such as torture are logical manifestations of that cruelty. I'm not saying that it doesn't suck balls, just saying that it is part of the human psyche, whether we like it or not.
Just because your only contribution to this quite spanknig thread has been soemthing incoherent about pimps.
