unless you have respectfully and humanely killed and skinned the animal yourself, and will be using all of its parts for things like food and weaponry, then you should not be wearing fur. if you are living in the Arctic in an igloo and you kill a seal because your family depends on its meat and skin to survive, then ok. if you are a person living in a city where you have full access to synthetic fabrics which are warmer than fur, then you should not be wearing animal hides.

@andromache loves the Gospel According to Biff: People manage to live without eating meat, by that logic we shouldn't eat meat either.

@VivianDarkbloom: yep. I don't think people should eat meat without knowing exactly where it comes from and how it gets to their plate.

I'm just trying to do my part to eliminate animal cruelty.

@andromache loves the Gospel According to Biff: Do you know where your veggies come from? Do you buy them all from local farmers, so you know they aren't exploiting workers?

How about your synthetic fabrics. Where are they made? And under what conditions?

@andromache loves the Gospel According to Biff:

There is no humane way of killing animals, and therefore I don't think that 'knowing' how your meat gets to you makes it any more 'right' to eat it.

@Samazon: Those items aren't comparable. I'm not denying the exploitation faced by some farm and factory workers, but I am pretty sure their jobs would never require them to be skinned alive.

Not to diminish their suffering; I agree that people should know where their purchases come from and strive to make ethical choices, but being skinned alive is in an oppression class all its own.

older model lady, you rock. but i'm not sure the article had to point out that her size has been diminishing with age-- "Oh that elderly woman is positively waifish"-- let's just leave it at the fact that she's redefining notions of beauty in the fashion world. period.

Liz Jones of the Daily Mail does not understand this person named "Agyness Deyn." In fact, Liz Jones thinks "Agyness Deyn" dresses rather strangely. Also, Liz Jones would like "Agyness Deyn" to get off her lawn.

Ahh, finally a columnist who understands my plight. Next topics include "What is that racket? Is that what people call music these days?"

@Mediokra: no! This was the best bit: I understand it is a reaction to all the supergirly, over-groomed fashion as championed by Girls Aloud, but at least the young women who followed this trend were trying to look pretty. And clean.

What? Since when does Agyness look dirty???

- I hate PETA will all my forces. As Samazon pointed out, what they do isn't protesting, it's assault. People who use fur aren't commiting any crime, this is not forbidden by law. They have they right to wear fur if they want to. PETA should try to educate those people with civility instead of using those aggressive and intolerable methods. When you act this way, you're not right anymore.

- Poor Olivier. I love him. He'll find a job somewhere else, hopefully.

- Call me crazy, but, isn't this Freida Pinto achieving too much for a chick who showed up yesterday? She's pretty, right, but, 6 months ago, no one knew who she was. And, apart from her looks, she has little to offer, apparently.

@redheadpixie: What do you define as "achieving too much"? I'm not sure why success is such a bad thing, even if you personally think she doesn't have much to offer.

@sarah.of.a.lesser.god: She'll be the face of Estee Lauder, will be in the next Woody Allen movie and no one knew who she was one year ago. She's very popular and people know her everywhere now and she made like, one movie. I'm trying to point out that her success happened way too fast, even for Hollywood standards.

@redheadpixie: That's fair enough. I just was confused by "too much". However, I will say that it's at least refreshing to have a nonwhite actress achieve that, even if I recognize her looks are part of the reason.

I'm against fur too, but I'm thinking DC saw a spike in people wearing fur because Inauguration Day was ass. balls. freezing. And so was the rest of January, and fur is warm.

@Samazon: They are contradicting themselves beyond belief. I know it's been said a million times, but now they've made their cause nothing about animal rights and 'humanity', and all about idiocy. ACK!

@margareita metermaid: There are much better animal rights organizations out there. I'm tired of this one being in the media- it does a great disservice to the cause, I think.

I'd kind of love to see just as much passion projected towards human rights, though. That's not in the media nearly as much.
