this is what a life in Hollywood does to you and Sharon is living proof. How sad that her message to the world is cruelty to animals. How ignorant and self centered!

The difference between wearing fur and wearing leather is that we eat cows, and cows are not killed by anal electrocution. Animals for fur are raised in horrible conditions (many times packed in cages where they get broken bones from being piled on each other) and then killed in terrible ways to keep from damagine the pelts.

I eat meat, so I am not against killing animals per se, but I do think there is a difference between killing an animal and torturing one for expensive fashion.

To Frewt:

The fur she wears is real. It is not culled from feral vermin, as the condition of such fur would hardly be worth wearing on the red carpet. She recently wore an actual rat foot as a pin. The woman is literally a nutso.

In general:

I get frustrated when people assume that to be anti-fur you have to be vegetarian or vegan. I have no issue with animals being killed for food, shelter, and warmth. However, I do think that as human beings with the higher reasoning skills necessary to possess a moral fiber and sense of ethics, we have the responsibility to take life circumspectly. A good measure of this, to me, is by looking at how much of the animal is used. If it is discarded after a small portion of skin is taken, that’s different ethically than if it is killed humanely and used in its entirety.

But I do have to say one small thing in Sharon’s defense. Some years ago, in 2001, she had a brain aneurysm. Those are proven to often change behaviour. Especially for the worst. People can become more aggressive, less empathetic and colder. As far as I know, nobody really knows why this is, except that it has something to do with parts of the brain having been slightly damaged by the aneurysm. A friend’s mum has had exactly this happening to her after she got brain damage from a car accident. She has grown moody and angry even though she fully recovered otherwise. So all this poison spewing forth from Sharon’s mouth and all this excessive fur-wearing might simply be symptomatic. It doesn’t make it more right though (especially for someone as intelligent as she is), but maybe it’s just really hard to control.

It did make me laugh though, to see that they demanded all this. I’m sure they’d actually find some of the evidence they claim to be looking for!
and Powerade: there is a difference between wearing fur and leather. Leather is most commonly made out of cow, pig etc skins. Animals we eat anyway and that are bred for this purpose. There’s lots of them to go around and if we eat them, we might as well use the rest of the body too. Furs are different because they are taken from much rarer animals in a lot of cases and these animals are skinned alive often and suffer horrible conditions in fur farms. And if it’s not like this, they are hunted for their fur because they’re particularly rare.

That’s right - for all our high and mighty morals, our lofty ideals, our enlightened dispositions, and all the other BS that radicals like Newkirk spew, 86% of HUMAN BEINGS will eat their own kind before letting themselves starve to death. Don’t believe me? Take a look at Stalingrad, or any other major city in Russia during WWII that was under siege.

So please, lets all just admit the truth - we only give a shit because we have the LUXURY of giving a shit. As soon as life becomes ‘eat this or die’, we’ll shovel forkfulls of our own neighbors into our mouths rather than dying for those high ideals.
