I do support PETA and other few animal rights orgs, and I am deeply against killing animals for their fur only. We can do ok with the skin and furs coming from meat industry. And faux furs these days are just as luxurious as real thing. However I do not agree when PETA spills paint all over people’s coats. I mean those people just gonna buy a new one, for which more animals have to be killed.

The people here proudly proclaiming they’re fine with conscious animals being skinned alive to make cute accessories make me wonder if the human race is evolving at all. I wish reincarnation were real, in which case those people can come back as a fox growing up in a cage and one day have their skin torn off while fully conscious and be left in a corner of their pen to die in misery. Seriously, imagine that happening to yourself. Defending it once aware of the facts in my opinion is to pretty well openly state you’re a psychopath.

Hermes is killing animals for doing handbags, that is true. Some people like only leather bags and do not care which animals has to be killed or how hermes killed those animals, some people are mean and others ignorant.

i so agree with rahsan.

to those people who think there is nothing wrong with wearing fur, i do hope one day they’ll get a feel of being skin alive.

maybe in hell.

This isn’t about PETA. This is about humanity. I don’t care for PETA. I love fashion, as long as it is ethical. The original idea behind animal rights was that animals DO have feelings. My cat has more personality than most people do. Animals get angry, jealous or upset. Remember, we share the mother earth with other species, yet we destroy it on a daily basis without hesitation just because we have this silly opinion that we are the masters of earth. Have you seen the video on PETA’s site that shows footage from a fur farm taht belongs to Chloe? Those who say they’d wear fur, can you take that? Watch it and if you are OK with it, I don’t regard you as human.

My take is that if any animal hide is used in any sort of fashion good, be it shoes or handbags, that it should be a ‘bi-product’ of a food source or regulated population control.
Cowhide is obviously a bi-product, as we meat demand is the ‘primary’ revenue stream. Crocodile farming’s primary reason for existing is the demand for skins. Sure they’re not going to throw the meat in the trash, it does get consumed, but the fact is the hides are the primary revenue source for such a venture.
Certain ‘Exotics’ I would consider to be ethical. Louisiana for instance releases 35,000 hunting tags a year to control their now over populated Alligator. Most hunters actually use the meat to feed their families and secondly sell the hides to a tannery. For me a bag made from this might even be more ethical than a farm raised cow hide. Just my 2 Cents

How is croc not OK but mock-croc leather all good? I fail to see the difference between farming croc for skin (and meat) and farming cattle for meat (and skin).

I think the PETA members are nuts (especially re the Obama-fly incident), but I do think they serve an important purpose of educating us about abuse and mistreatment of animals. I’m sure animals would be far, far worse off were it not for organizations like PETA. Now, this certainly doesn’t mean that I agree with their positions.
