I love animals, too, but I like if a lady wear an elegant fur. Sharon looks great in that fur cloak.

I don't care about your psych professor or if animal species eat/don’t eat their own. And I don't need special circumstances, like famine, to eat people. Hell, if I ran out of Honey Nut Cherrios today, I'd make a nice salad, hit my neighbor on the head and have a lovely BBQ. Dear Scott F.: Are you baked?

How awful. I thank you all for the mini education since it didn't come from fanatics but rather emphatic individuals. I will most definitely will not ever wear fur, regardless of where I happen to live.

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. To Powerade:

And do we know that fur is real? And how do we know its not rabbit or fox taken from culled animals where they are feral vermin? I don't actually know if that happens or not but my point is some selective use of animal products could be sustainable and humane.

And I'm against wearing real fur because there are true alternatives that are just as good. I'm also against stuff like animal testing for cosmetics. 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. I don’t particularly like Sharon Stone’s ways.
