I remember seeing a program on antarctica (or somewhere similar) and they had someone there in all their manmade cold weather gear - it might have been Billy Connelly... and this person was a veggie too. Well, it took no time at all for them to wear fur because he was freezing. And I don't just mean that he was cold but that he was in danger of getting hypothermia & freezing to death. There is nothing so warm as fur.
Then it comes to that other situation that one policy groups never think of. Raising animals for fur is the main income of some economic groups. If no fur is raised what will replace this as their income. I would respect them more if they addressed ways of ensuring that these kinds of groups of people had replacement incomes, but they don't. They live in their middle-class, middle-income comfortable homes, with their readily available non-leather shoes, etc etc etc and decree life effecting proculations on other people's lives.
Its like twat Heather Mills and her milk issues, she never thinks beyond the sound-bite to how it will effect communities in so many different ways.
I'm not saying that wearing fur is good per se, I'm just saying that PETA do not convince me that it's bad to wear it as there are other issues that they need to address.
