s1m17 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 That article really casts light on the hypocrisy of the animal rights activists. Surely if they truely opposed fur and wanted to help the needy, then they could set up fund raisers and so on to gather money to buy non-fur coats and give to the homeless. I like the end part , haha. And that photo of Giselle is damn nice. Thanks for the post SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I bought a fur on ebay from a homeless that had been given it that week by PETA. Bought for $350 so he was happy and so was I as it was worth abou $7k. PETA do have some benefits!!!! Shows how low they will stoop for publicity and how fur isnt really an issue...it masks something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 What I wonder is, how can a homeless person be able to sell things on eBay? Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 dozens of them did it....they can easily do it at drop in centres and were encouraged to do so by workers at the centres. Internet cafe proprietors also helped them ....this wa the case with the one I bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynxette Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I believe that the issue with PETA and furs is more an issue of PETA and affluence...they do not rant and rave nearly so much regarding Eskimos and others with furs as they do people in NYC etc. Kinda makes one wonder eh?

DKMain Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I think that is simply tactical rather than ideological, Lynxette. It is not that Ingrid Newkirk, Dan Mathews, et al., are not against killing and "exploiting" even ugly animals, by whoever is doing the killing and "exploiting"; it is merely that PeTA knows that envy is far more effective at getting the masses riled up against animal usage than is pure ideology. They also know that rich white women wearing furs are seen as rich and white-- thus evil-- rather than as women per se; whereas, Eskimos are seen as oppressed "people of color" even when they are wearing, eating and otherwise utilizing dead animals. PeTA is simply willing to do whatever it thinks will work to gain itself both increased notoriety and increased contributions. If PeTA thought that it could garner either or (preferably, from its point of view) both, it would be quite content to badmouth Eskimos and any other group without the slightest compunction. ...

lynxette Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Interesting point you have there. Let me think on it a bit okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKMain Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 You may feel quite welcome to cogitate on that for as long as you might please, Ms. Lynxette! ... DKMain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxette Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Okay, upon further reflection I think you are correct. So long as the eskimos are seen as an oppressed minority, they will be considered off limits...for the time being anyway unless those dummies decide it is in their own interests to go after them.

DKMain Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 You probably know that PeTA annually gives away used furs to the homeless to keep warm during the winter months. What you might not recall, however, was that, many years ago, PeTA itself annually railed against this very same generosity when it was bestowed by the fur industry! When PeTA realized that the furriers were the ones garnering the sympathy and plaudits of the public, the Bambiheads did their abrupt about-face, sans either shame or irony, and took over the perennial headlines with their own 'generosity' by giving away many of the used furs which they receive from misguided fur apostates, like Mary Tyler Moore and Zsa Zsa Gabor-- saving enough of the coats, of course, to paint and burn them at anti-fur demonstrations throughout the year. There is nothing that these true believers will not do to advance their utopian world view-- which helps to explain from where all of those videos of animal torture at fur farms, etc., really come.... ...

lynxette Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes, I have heard of that unfortunate turn of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 wasn't so unfortunate for some I had a superb mink from a guy who was given it and he made enough cash to get himself a downpayment on a small apartment. They weren't paint daubed the first lot. The tricks and demo stuff they do is just getting more laughable on one hand and sinister on the other. To me they look like a cross between the Temperance movement and The Brownshirts. Both equally doomed to history despite being able to con through apparent kindness or intimidate a lot of idiots at the time; and both for the same reason: it gave power freaks something to do. But their crap is like the emperors new clothes and some of us have to stand up and shout "he isn't wearing anything!" before people start realising it.
