I think I'm in shock! I actually feel sick! The image of that guy tearing the skin off that beautiful cat is going to stay with me for a very long time!

Most of our clothes are made in countries where dog & cat fur are no different than the cow/lamb skin we use for leather or fox/rabbit/mink fur. Also, its cheap.
The only reason why people are upset is because we mainly keep dogs & cats as pets. I don't hear anyone in this thread crying about the bunnies, chinchilas (sp?) or minks used for fur on coats made here in the States. Personally, I wouldn't want to wear dog fur, something tells me it doesn't smell well when wet.
That said, I need a new brown leather jacket & I am having a burger for lunch.

Should animals be treated more humanely? Yes. Do I have a problem with wearing fur, eating meat, etc.? NO
J.Crew makes there clothes in countries where dog & cat are eaten. Hence, using dog & cat fur is seen as the norm. Also, it is cheap for business. If they were using mink, would people cry. Would a thread have been created? (Oh, and BTW, Yes, I am a Republican).
No one complains about the animals used in laboratories to test medicine that will benefit them. How come one animal is cried for and others aren't?
You can't have it both ways. You can't get on your soapbox and cry for the dogs & cats and then wear your leather coat to work. Don't cry for the cats & dogs and go ooohh and ahhh over Diamonds that some 12 y.o. boy was maimed for because he didn't work fast enough at some mine in Sierra Leone. Don't cry for the cats & dogs and walk by a homeless person and not give them a few dollars. Don't cry for the cats & dogs and go I love that Ivory (whatever) and not shed a tear for the elephants poached in Africa.

I never said, animals should not be treated humanely. Maybe you should have read my post, before you got on your soapbox. I was explaining the reason for the Dog & Cat fur. Also, the hypocrisy of the thread. Where is the thread for the bunnies, minks, cows, pigs, chickens, etc?
Oh, where is the thread for the children that work under horrible conditions that make the clothes you are probably wearing right now?
OH, I NEVER claimed to be a Christian.

I dont believe in animal rights. I think it´s a very hypocritical and lowly primary moral instinct without any reason or consistency.
I like eating meat, fishing, hunting, leather. Human rights are a big enough synthetic dogma already, animals is just pushing it.
That does not mean I like cruelty towards animals, I don´t feel a need for it. However I don´t oppose it either.
I didn´t see what was so shocking about that video. Good restaurants boil their lobsters alive every day, foie gras is made by tube-force-overfeeding geese until their livers explode, people organise fighting dog deathmatches to bet on, in the middle east they put bears on hot plates to make them "dance", cattle is prepared by construction line and refed the remains of its own species and loads of cream and oil that got past their expiry date.
Get over it. There is more important stuff to attend to.
The one thing I noticed in the video is that here and there these Chinamen are being cruel for the sake of it, it had no use that the shirtless guy kicked the box of cats a few times. Just means he´s probably kind of frustrated and unhappy.
I have a thick leather trenchcoat in size XXL that comes down to the ankles. I like the feeling of leather, especially its smell. I assume it´s beef from cows or bull that would be dead anyway. If it´s a series of dogs, all the same. What´s the hit on cows anyway? Who knows how sweet a cow could be if you treated it nice from birth and can look beyond its dull facial expression.
PETA is based only on the subjective basal association people have with big brown mammal eyes that can look at you. Looks kinda like a kid. Guess what, it´s not.

People with an unusual compassion for animals have an extraordinary ability to do harm to fellow humans. I completely agree with you babe. While I don't condone cruelty to animals, if I go to a store and see what I like, I'll buy it, period. Don't care if its dog, cat, monkey, baboon or cow. I'm sure a lot of the psoters on this board would not think twice about purchasing clothes manufactured in sweatshops.
