Mmmm, I've got a pair of gloves made out of that stuff. Very warm they are
too.

I'll assume you didn't watch the video.

I like to think that I have a pretty strong stomach - but I couldn't
watch much of this video. The sight of the skinned and forlorn
carcass writhing in pain was too much for me.

I *never* watch anything that might come back in dreams later. And I
don't have anything made of fur either.

Not the sort of thing I'll click on either. But I'm quite happy with
fur. Warm /and/ CO2 neutral.

I'm not sure that you'd have the heart to make those last two comments
if you did click on it. Indeed, I suggest you do click on it so you
understand what it is that you are unwittingly condoning.

Fur!

Not necessarily the method by which _some_ of it is obtained. Sadly I
tend to take PETAs stuff with a pinch of salt as they are primarily
interested in shock factor stuff. That video (As much of it as I could
take) is a damning report of one fur farm. Be careful how much you read
into it.

BTW. Does sheepskin count as "fur"?

I couldn't agree with you more.

Indeed, I'd go further and question if the video was entirely stage
managed to shock. I cannot see any other reason why they'd want to
keep an animal alive while harvesting the fur.

Regardless, it was a callous remark from 'Not Responding', mitigated
only by the fact that he had not seen the video.
