47. Yes, of course wearing leather seems a bit like a hyprocrit, however there are many by-products that come from other industries, such as beef. Would you prefer the animal hyde just get tossed into the trash and not be used at all? Let's not be ridiculous and demand that the world go vegan! Another more reasonable answer would be to fight for ethical treatment of those animals whose fate is to become someone's meal; i.e. free roaming and humane euthanizing. I pitty those that are ignorant and can't see/hear the plea for "the ETHICAL treatment" of animals and believe that bi-peds rule the planet! Perhaps we can look towards electing a great leader of this country who is concerned about such issues and can look past their growing bank accounts and fighting wars. Come on people, how about the ethical treatment and respect for all things living, without the God complex and the need to kill with complete disregard for our planet?

48. Ok, to the person trying to find similarities with fur protests and going vegan. There is a HUGE fundimental difference here... fur is worn SOLELY for it's prestege, milk and meat is eaten for nutritional value. Fur is too warm for our modern culture and is only expensive because we are running out of animals in the wild, so we need to generate fur via fur-farms.
Fur is pointless considering modern textile production, and only serves to perpetuate vanity.
Meat and Lacto products are as of yet not worthless. We have yet to concoct a real reaplacement for meat, cheese and other natural proteins (vegans, don't bother replying, I am sure you are jaundiced as you type away). When we do I will give up meat all together as well. As for now, I will continue my healthy lifestyle sans worthless fatty things like veal, fois gras, and certainly sans fur.

49. What about the chickens in the little pens, the fish in the tanks with their own feces, the crabs that get their claws stuck in fishermen's nets...oh this is too sad--I can't go on.

50. PS # 15, where did you go to school? "go ONE with your life". You are obviously a pig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Humans DO NOT dominate the earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ignorant only THINK (the one's with brains) humans rule this planet. Are you aware of something called an ecosystem and the need of all creatures alike to keep it going smoothly? Obviously not!!!!!! People like you have gotten us (the world) in our current position of GLOBAL WARMING. We should be concerned with the hardship and loss of life, from tiny creatures to starving people. I think ignorant people should be sterilized!!!!!!!!!!!!, to prevent further devastation of our globe.

51. Get real! When this economy crumbles, and you are out on the street fighting with the animals for a place to sleep, you'll be wearing their fur or they'll be wearing yours.

52. Simply put, Pam Anderson is an ugly moron. Underneath all of her surgery and make up lies a gross woman. Pam, there are more important issues.

53. I agree with 15- We have dominion over the animals- got over it. But there are plenty of abused, starving children and domestic violence shelters or many other downtrodden people you could turn your attn. to that could sure use some of that media attn.

54. This is only my view. I love animals and I don't think that it fair for them to lose their fur to make us look good. I mean why would you want to wear something that came from an animal who was treated badly. No animal have the right to die for their fur it just crazy. Just put yourself in the place of the poor animal who's getting killed to that you can wear a pair of $150 jeans that was made by Beyonce or JLo.

55. I think the point has been missed completely. To get beef, leather, etc., they do not keep the animal alive while skinning it, or chopping it up. They kill it first (at least in most cases). The thing that is so cruel about fur is that they are torturing these animals. For those of you who don't care about what is going on because you think of them as being "just animals," they still feel pain, just the same as you or I.

Even though I am an animal lover, and am active in protecting animal rights, I do believe that eating meat is natural, just as you would see in nature, but I believe that as conscious beings, we should be able to do it humanely. In nature, an animal kills to eat. Rarely, if ever, do animals keep their prey alive to torture or play with it (You usually only see that behavior in animals that we have domesticated).

I do not believe in fur for the simple fact that it is no longer necessary (besides the cruelty factor). Perhaps in the past, with freezing temperatures and no alternative, it was definitely needed. But faux fur is here, and it is beautiful. If you must have fur, go FAUX!

I believe in many different religions, and for those of you who think that it is fine to torture any animal, I just hope that whatever religion you practice does not believe in reincarnation, or I think we all know what you'll be coming back as...

56. What the heck does a homeless person have to do with animal rights? If you’re the one INTENTIONALLY purchasing a dead animal coat then that’s wrong. That’s because animals don’t Talk they sure know how to communicate! They can scream and run for their lives when they’re being killed against their will just like human. Humans are more dominant that’s why we should know better than to hurt something defenseless for our vanity. Ignorant people are the ones harming our planet with such low standards in life.

57. Lara @ 15

Would the fur coated homeless guy have a sign or something explaining where the coat came from? If he did I would probably let him slide being he is homeless and all. I like to take it all in and make an informed decision when it comes to those sensitive fur coated homeless guy issues.

Question for you:

So you catch your child peeling the fur off of small woodland creatures. Upon questioning the child as to why he is skinning the poor creatures alive he says, "I want to make you a nice fur coat mommy."

My question is does the sight of the quivering, thrashing, skinless little balls of blood make you ask him to make a matching hand warmer or do you cradle your child and wonder where you have gone wrong?

Maybe if you work really hard you wont come back in you next life as a mink or god forbid someone who might misspell...

58. Holly tits! How can you think about poor animals with those mellons staring you in the face. Pam needs to represent the watermellon industry if she is going uncover her crop in public.

59. She should start standing up for her dignity but by taking her clothes off once again, she just panders to her addiction to media attention and to her only role, oh how fleeting it is, of being a sex object. Why don't people like Pam Anderson feel this strongly about children in this country being molested and the molesters being allowed to be released back into our society once they serve jail time, if it even gets prosecuted, only to reoffend? Kids are sold into slavery in other countries, human trafficking and child molestings are terrible things that should merit our attention and efforts, not caring if somebody is wearing a fur coat or not. Are they going to protest everyone who eats a chicken or steak or hamburger? I thnk Peta is ridiculous and so are these celebrities and she should act more like a mother and less like a who*e that she really is.
