Shouting about the disgrace of our society. We need to face upto the fact that killing animals is just unacceptable. Do something worthwhile today. Be vegan.
I stood behind a woman in a store wearing a thick fur coat. Not surprisingly she also barged me out of the way as if I was an inferior being.
Fur – guess who it belongs to…that’s right….the animal! Anyone who wears fur when there is a viable alternative is an abomination. Insult who I may, it is downright disgusting.
You think so too? The how about ditching your leather shoes, belts, sofas, key chains, wallets, watch straps, bags and countless other objects becasue if you own these things then you too are responsible for pulling the skin off an animal. Saying that it is a byproduct of the food industry holds no weight because the meat industry relies on the leather industry. The softest leather that you may croon over most likely comes from the unborn baby of a slaughtered cow. Feel good about yourself? You’d fee a whole lot more so a s a vegan, as one who refuses to buy into this outdated and inhumane crap.
I used to eat meat, wear leather and basically had the same contempt for animals which I see on a daily basis everywhere I look. I became a vegetarian after seeing newborn lambs prancing around and not wanting to be responsible for them being murdered. I became a vegan when I was thinking of breastfeeding my son and finally understood what the dairy industry is all about. What I know now, I did not know then. No longer living in ignorance, I have no option but to write this blog.

How can you tell the difference between a real fur coat and a really nice fake fur?
I always wonder that.
Here, because no-one wears fake fur! I live in Arctic Norway and you often get the pleasure of seeing the tails etc. On a personal note I could never call a fake fur really nice as it still represents a dead animal, although I do have a pair of vegan boots that have a bit of fake fur on (didn’t know that when I mail ordered them but I didn’t send them back as they are great boots – also I love the conversation when someone here says ‘you say you are a vegan but you’ve got fur on your boots’!). I think it is quite obvious when you see a real fur coat – it is not as uniform as a fake and if you get close you can smell it. This coat was real enough. Poor animals.
Ugh, I cannot stand fur coats. It is terrible. In Texas we do not see much but we do have alot of hunters which makes me ill. They say it is fun. WTF?!? What is fun about killing an animal then hanging it on your wall. It is disgusting and sick to me. I have seen women with rawhide purses and fur trim. Which annoys me and it is really hard for me to hold my tongue. Great post.
Yeah, I have the same as Sarah, how do you know its real or fake?
Sometimes you can part the hair and look for the skin. If it’s real fur, it’s attached to skin.
