Animal Skins on Nicole Richie, Paris, and Jenny-from-the-block:
I feel really sick when I see furs on celebrities because people want to emulate stars.
If the fur industry was not so brutal by skinning the animals alive to utilize all of the pelts and having animals live in poor conditions. It would be different.
These people live really nicely and have choices to be socially aware, but no. Funny, the fur-wearing group are usually in the news for their self-absorbed bad-behavior. Seems that it's all related, Folks.

I have no idea if this is true or not but I read that Nicole Richie only wears fake fur. Fake or not, tho, I agree: its disgusting. There are plenty of celebs (like pretend-earth-mothers, actual-animal-predators Gwyneth P, Kate Hudson and her moter Goldie Hawn) who proudly wear real fur. I personally boycott anything they are in for that exact reason.

I do not know if its true but I read that Nicole Richie only wears fake fur. Fake or not, tho: agree that its disgusting. There are plenty of fake-hippie-pretend-earth-mother-actress (Gwyneth, Kate Hudson, Goldie Hawn) who wear real fur, however. Its immortal - anyone who wears fur should have to personally witness the torturous lives and deaths the animals endure for their "fashion." The worst part is that Gwyneth pretends to be a veg ... she is friends with famous vegs (like Stella McC) in the UK .... I don't know how they can stand her whiny judgemental rants when she herself is so pathetic!

i wouldn't be surprized if nicole wears real fur BECAUSE she does everything her stylist, Rachel Zoe does. She emulates her to the T. I saw Rachel Zoe at Bristol farms, wearing A REAL FUR VEST. She was smug. DOWN WITH RACHEL ZOE I SAY, DOWN.

To everyone above me, go back to watching your furry porn. oh and while you at it keep feeding that cult called PETA, yeah thats right I called it a CULT. Cause iy is, Frigging trying to screw around with kids minds with your "your mommy kills animals" propoganda BS. You are all traitors to the human race.

Laura:  2076 days ago

I would like to know, without insults, any facts that you have about the the lack of brutality of the fur industry?
I am not with PETA. I have looked into the fur industry on my own, and if the fur industry handled the trade with more compassion to the animals, wearing animal pelts wouldn't be such an issue to these groups.
BTW - How is this information" hurting the kids".
Maybe we all have choices on how to live in the world and it's all related. Please try to think a moment before responding, Midou.

I dont really have a problem with fur. I have some hand me down fur stuff from my grandmother. I think its okay if it was created long ago (i.e. vintage). I see no reason to kill cute little chinchillas.

My web www.antifursociety.org does have a page of fur "celebs" although incomplete, one can still see who shamelessly wears real fur. I wouldn't call these people celebs. I would call them self-absorbed, selfish, poor excuse for human beings. Knowing, as I am sure they do, the disgraceful cruelty that furry beings endure so these good-for-nothings can wear their fur, is more than despicable, and speaks for itself as to how cruel and vain our race can be. I boycott all of them, anything from them: movies, music, fashion, etc. I hope one day soon, people will realize just the kind of trash they have turned into gods, and will do the same.

In America, 95% of all fur farms voluntarily participate in a program developed by the American Veterinarian Medical Association to ensure humane and ethical standards. The farms are recertified every three years by an independent vet. Small animals, such as mink, are typically euthanized with manufactured bottled carbon monoxide, which is odorless, colorless, and painless. Larger animals, such as fox, are typically euthanized with a lethal injection which is the same means used to put our beloved pets to sleep. Contact the AVMA or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, contact your Congressional legislator and request a copy of the Animal Welfare Act 1984 if you don't believe me. They have no agenda unlike the animal rights groups.

Regarding China, let's assume for arguments sake that PeTA's recent claim about fur farms in China is true. American federal law requires that all fur garments be labeled with the nation of origin from which the fur was raised and whether it came from a farm or from the wild. Anyone who wishes to avoid Chinese raised fur can easily look at the tag to see what nation the fur was raised in and make a decision. The claim by PeTA that the majority of furs comes from China is misleading. China is the largest MANUFACTURER of fur coats. China is also the largest buyer of fur pelts at fur auctions around the world. They buy and import the pelts then manufacture the garments and import them back to other nations such as the U.S.

There is no need for fur as we are no longer living in caves and eating raw meat for lack of knowledge to produce our own food and clothing. This story that fur animals are treated better in the US or any other country is sickening excuse to keep exploiting fur animals for such a sordid reason as the vanity of fashion. Animals spend their lives in tiny cages until they meet with brutal deaths such as anal electrocution, gassing, poisoning, and the chinese who loves to skin them alive! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T TRY TO DEFEND THE INDEFENSEABLE!

I'm confused why all of you are talking about fur...none of these items bought is fur? Ok in the photo Nicole has a fur looking something on but can we stick to what are articels are about.

There are lots of things we don’t “need” like animal rights, so let’s get rid of that too. Using the guilt by association that all farms are cruel, why don’t we ban animal rights groups since animal rights produces and promotes violence? Perhaps you would think differently if others used force, intimidation, or tried to preach morality to you as you do to others. Try asking anyone who is homosexual what it feels like since you’re not likely to be rational with anyone who wears fur. Then of course there is the issue of freedom of expression. Where’s your tolerance for diversity, differences in culture, and beliefs? What is compassionate and moral about the use of force and intimidation used by animal rights groups?

We’ve all seen abused animals, and the first sign of abuse in any animal is usually seen in the poor quality of their fur. Why would a farmer intentionally abuse the very thing they are dependent upon to earn a living? It would be economic suicide to abuse one’s animals.

If you believe that animals are “skinned alive” or “anally electrocuted”, I suggest you take the advice of contacting the AVMA, the USDA, or visit a farm. If truth rather than you agenda is your main concern, then you should have no hesitation to further your knowledge by contacting the two organizations mentioned. They have no agenda. After all, there are still plenty of people who believe the world is flat and that the reason communism has not worked is because the right people have never been in charge.

SO I just happen to be on this sit reading all of your comments. And I do have to say that while I consider myself an animal lover I am also not anti fur- at least in that I don't own any actual furs....but that I also am not involved in anti fur groups or boycotting. As I'm reading I'm noticing that I guess you would call them pro fur...that the pro fur people are the only ones making rational comments and arguments against fur...and even giving sources with which to check their stated facts. I must say that those of you who are anti fur have failed to make a real argument or provide sources for your claims of animal abuse and murderous deaths. For people like me who love animals...and yet are NOT vegetarians....and who don't really own fur but maybe someday will....it would benefit your cause if you made more rational arguments and didn't let your emotions or horror at the death of innocent animals get in the way of making your point. I understand how you feel though....and I just wish you would make a better point....because i found myself agreeing with those that are pro fur...and that made me a little sad.
