They are killed, cooked, and sold for people to eat, and the dog pelts are then used for "fake fur." I never once saw a PETA activist outside those restaurants. PETA needs to focus on the ETHICAL treatment of animals...not on the harassment of people (regular people and celebrities alike). Also, one of the heads of PETA is insulin dependent and has been for many years. She was asked why, if she truly believed that animals should not be killed for anything, would she take a drug that was tested heavily on animals. She replied that if she didn't have these drugs, then she wouldn't be able to help the animals. The head of a group that is against animal testing uses drugs that are available on the market due to animal testing. Hmmmm.

Something about the hollow fur strands. They put it through a wind tunnel and did some other expiriments. So, yeah, at the very least Eskimos can and should continue to wear whatever type of fur that is. To continue with the "if you eat it, you wear it" line, I know that much more meat is consumed across the world than fur is worn, especially with these PeTA tactics. So basically, all these pelts are going to waste. At least with the American Indian, they made sure NO PART of the animal went to waste. I think that is much more respectable than tossing out a meat animal's pelt because using the rest of it is a social taboo. PeTA is the Scientology of "activist" groups.

White scarf, hat, and gloves. Never even thought for a second it would be "real" stuff because I worked at the store I bought it from (NY&Co) and all of our other "fur trimmed" sweaters wear faux-fur. Plus, it didn't look like fur, just looked like all the acrylic stuff. I didn't realize it was real stuff until after I'd already worn the set for a couple weeks and then went to cut the tag out of the hat. Other than the fact that it was rabbit and I'm a vegetarian so I felt icky about wearing it, it made me itchy and shed all over my dark coat. Also if it's a concern for you, make sure to check boots and gloves, too, for leather. Even Wal-Mart carries "real" leather stuff, so don't assume it's fake because it's cheap.
