Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Good luck. I don't live in New York, but I hope you are successful. I am vegan so I no longer eat any food products and I no longer wear fur. But, I used to. So be patient with those who do. You can't change the way people think overnight. If a person only has leather jackets, they are not going to discard them. If they are given a fur coat, they will wear it. However, as each person influences another person or group of people to a higher level, we will eventually become better. I envision a society were animals are not considered food for human consumption or as a source of clothing. I like the look of fur (of course it looks best on the animal!) so I do have some fake fur items such as a fake fur jacket and an animal print blouse). They are fake, are intended to be fake, and no pretense of the " the real thing " . I do not belong to any animal rights groups but I spread the information that I have researched about animal testing and the use of animals for food and clothing. I try to teach others of the horrors of these practices. The emphasis is on fur, but the reality is many more people use leather items (clothing, shoes, purses, briefcases, jewelry and furniture than the number of people who wear fur coats. The person who is against fur could likely be the same person whose shoes and purse is leather, whose sweater is angora, whose pillow is down, and whose blankets are wool. This person could also be eating cheese, eggs, and butter and drinking milk. They are thinking that these things don't hurt the animals, but due to modern farming practices, they do. We are all at different levels and each of us must pull someone else higher and they in turn will do the same for someone else. darwin <dkany821 wrote: Caring Activist Against Fur: Please don't forget 2 days before the HUGE Saturday Valentine's anti- fur protest.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 yup its got to start somewhere.There is just NO excuse for fur. Not warmth Not beauty Not because " I can " Its just wrong. The problem is woman wearing fur are younger (25-35)and from what i have read they don't care about or don't want to hear how a fur coat is made. I do tabling in NYC hand out flyers and try to educate the fur wearers out there. I tell you most 95% say " screw you " " I don't care " " I love my fur I love the way it looks " and many other profanities. I am not nasty to these people I just say " excuse me is that real " if they say yes I say do you know how the animals are kiled killedhat coat? Here take this pamphlet and educate your self. They almost always tell me where to go. Thats when I let the fur hag have it. I don't expect people to dump everything they eat and wear and become this vegan animal activist. I just want them to respect other feeling beings. And they can start by not buying fur next stop wearing leather and so on. My husband eats meat(no red meat) and wears leather (I don't I am vegan) and he would NEVER wear fur. Look Its got to start somewhere. I personally don't like the fake fur. It promotes the look. i don't think it looks pretty on people only the living free animal. But then again if people must buy it (which I don't get)then the fake fur is great so I am kinda on the fence when it comes to fake fur. I just don't get why people have to be so vain especially when it comes to murder and suffering. Why cant they live without it it baffles me. tie outten <jazzyoreo wrote: Good luck.
