timepiececlockI watched some of this VH1 show "The fabulous Life of... Jennifer Lopez" while making a sandwhich.
They said she has over half a million dollars worth of fur in her wardrobe.
My god. Doesn't she feel guilty about all the animals that died for that? And apparently her favorite is Chinchilla fur. Has she ever SEEN a chinchilla? My day care used to ahve one as a pet. They are absolutely ADORABLE. Who could kill one?

The worst thing? Poor chinchilla's are so tiny, it takes like a hundred of them to make one silly coat.
My friend from Peru used to be my roommate, and her chinchilla was the cutest little thing. The only thing, though, it was a boy and for some reason he loved to burrow in my sweaters drawer and hump the sweater fur. ewwwwww.

(vegetarian, non-fur, non-leather wearing... still as much of a hypocrite as all the other big ugly hairless apes on this planet.)

Though really, I don't feel bad for eating food that means killing animals. That's life. Fur for a new coat isn't vital to my life, however.

Date: 2003-09-09 08:35 pm (UTC)Eating animals is one thing. Breading animals for their pelts is quite another - especially given sheer number of the things that are typicallyy required to make one single coat. If people are insisting on wearing the things, then farming them is better than trapping, which was beyond cruel. But it's all unnecessary.
That said, it's not just fur. I've got issues with various livestock practices, too. Yes, we need to eat. But grain-fed cattle, piggeries and battery hens get my goat as well.

Date: 2003-09-09 09:22 pm (UTC)yeah, i know i made some people angry. i'm sorry if i truly offended anyone. i was exposed to both animal rights and the glamour of fur at an early age. my opinions about fur are more than tongue-in-cheek, but i do love my mink stole, mink wrap, & mink-collared coats. dearly. &

In fact, I'll make that a rule: BEING HONESTLY OFFENDED BY ANYTHING EXCEPT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JOHN ASHCROFT IS NOT ALLOWED. You can only be offended at outside things, not people here. My journal is truly-offend free, a place of fun debate and lively argument, where respect is shared and mean people are mooned then shunned. :)

Date: 2003-09-09 10:51 pm (UTC)In reality, today it's a giant shed where pigs are kept in pens that prevent them from moving more then a couple of inches in either direction. The can not turn around. They can sit down only with difficulty. They never leave their confines. The husband of a close friend on my mum's use to run one. It was ghastly. All to produce the tastiest, grain fed meat.
