62. It's not a rodent's foot. Rodents have four claws on the front and five on the back. That thing only has three claws. Rodent's claws look very different. I don't know what that thing is but it's revolting. She wears fur or animal print clothing like 99% of the time. Fur is inhumane and disgusting to wear.

63. I don't like PETA, but the brooch is disgusting and rather creepy! Humans share a large percentage of their genes with other creatures (60% even with a banana), so I would think it was wrong to kill animals with the ability to feel pain and fear as a human might, especially if it isn't a necessary product like food.

don't bananas have feelings, too?

aw shucks. ill never eat one again then.

last time i checked, bananas didn't build the empire state building - monkeys didn't devise the rosetta stone - and rats never found cures for depression. but hey, you never know. maybe someday they will ;)

i think humanity FOR OTHER HUMAN BEINGS is what our world is lacking. now look at the mass genocide in some regions of Africa and b*tch about a paw on a lapel. PETA, DO SOMETHING USEFUL. IF YOU WANT TO BE A REAL TOUGH GUY, JOIN THE PEACE CORP OR BECOME A DOCTOR IN DARFUR.

65. That is a rabbit paw, it is meant to bring good luck to the people who wears it but it is just DISGUSTING.
That is not classy Sharon!

66. #30 is correct. Stone explained when she was being interviewed that it is a traditional piece of Scots jewelry, which has traditionally been worn for good luck. Guess you'll have to chastise people of Scotland for their traditions now.

Let's look at some of the bigger issues, PETA--like people wearing animal hides and fur. Or how about dresses with feathers? Do we think they "pluck" the feathers from live birds, and the birds continue on their merry way?

67. There's a difference between animals raised for food, versus killing any type of living being specifically just for jewelry, clothing, shoes and accessories. Do you eat rodents, or, better yet, do you make jewelry out of discarded parts? How "charming". And for those people appointed to speak for the rest of those who chose to eat meat, check-out your own set of teeth; there are four canine teeth in a Human's mouth, we aren't considered Carnivorous. Not all Animals and Mamals are Carnivorous. And speaking of over-population, what are your thoughts about those who have extremely large families, and their children's children, etc, therefore adding to an already serious problem we have on this Planet (economically, polution, starvation, etc).

68. I hear Sharon Stone also has a key chain with a lucky rabbits foot-PETA!!! Sharon Stone can have as many rat foot brooches she wants, and there ain't nothing you idiots at PETA can do about it!!

75. to Grace E.:

Native Americans [and most hunter/ gatherers for that matter] held/ hold all living creatures in the highest respect.

Hunted animals were essential for survival, and always the hunter would thank the animal for sacrificing its life to further his own. Nothing would be wasted.

They did not/ do not kill for sport or fashion.

There is a world of difference between viewing animals as part of the natural food chain and the way in which 'cultured' folks have turned their death into an empty, meaningless, bloody status symbol.

I'm not defending PETA's tactics, I eat meat, but i would never wear something taken from an animal killed in the name of fashion.
