No offense ( and I mean that) but disliking someone because of what they do is one thing, VANDALISM is a crime! Way to be ethical PETA.

I'm not saying they're a bad organization because they dislike fur and the mistreatment of animals ( IMO, that's why they're good!), but because basically they represent themselves like a bunch of pig-headed thugs 90% of the time. That's just my opinion though... well, sort of just my opinion

 

[GOA]

hey i was also not trying to be offensive towards what u said..
but i really love animals and i justdont understand why humans cant be sensitive towards
them
why is it of no importance to them..the pain that thes innocent animals go through..

and like i said i am not pro peta or anti peta ..i dont work with any organisation..
but i try my best to help any animal in distress.

^ I get you, and karma. I agree with your morals! xx

PETA definately go about the wrong way to get their point across.
I mean, have you seen the 'game' on their website which is promoting the vandalisation of Burberry because they use fur?
I don't really understand why they chose Burberry as their prime target either ?

I love the look of fur, but as soon as I remember where it came from it makes me sick. I own faux fur, and would only buy real if it's vintage.

It is a bit mystifying, isn't it? To me, Burberry is the very definition of 'cloth coat' Perhaps there's a bit of fur somewhere, but that's not what they're about. Cotton, wool, and cashmere (and the occasional leather) must be 99% of it.

What bothers me most about this PETA animal "shelter" (ha!) thing is that they tried to hide it. Bad enough it happened in the first place, but in a big organization things do go wrong. They were always about calling attention to an important issue in the most immature way possible. But the way they handled that situation has IMO exposed them as morally bankrupt. They can just go home now

 

[fashionmuse]

everything about PETA just bugs me. They are way to extreme and I hate how they only target the "it" celebs.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ I know, they never even asked us

I like fur. I'm not about to wear an endangered species, but I find nothing wrong with wearing most furs.

Have you guys ever thought what would PETA do if their wishes do come true one day and the entire world stops producing animal origin goods??

I bet my life they would be the first ones to start racing animals for its fur and meat!

They are just a form of bussines as any other legitimate bussines, they once realiced there was this need from a part of our society to express their feelings towards the way the other part of our society handles animals and they turned it into a way of making proffits.

Without fur and meat and animals in general PETA is nothing so I guess at the end and actually based of real facts (http://www.petakillsanimals.com/) that organisation is as cinical as you can possibly get.

Good thing though, thanks to them the fur industry at the end of the 80´s had to start reinventing itself in order not to go extinct, so don´t you find ironic the fact that an organization that so fiercely has been battling an industry for 2 decades now have actually turn it into a perfectly organized and regularized form of legitimate bussiness and along the way it has turned into the inmoral, unethical image they started fighting in the first place?

I dislike fur and I frown upon those who wear it.

My tutor said when he was living in London he saw a woman wearing a tiger . . . he said he spat at her.
Wearing a tiger is a tad extreme for my liking, I have to say.

Though I'm practically the Cruella de Vil of tFS, I have been finding some of the winter collections from New York pretty difficult to stomach.
(See Fur Overkill trend thread)
Notably Dennis Basso's collection.

 

[fashionjunkiexx]

i personally think it depends on why and how the animal has been killed,
but mostly you dont know and theres no ways of finding out.
so its a no.

 

[DominiqueQ]

NOOOOOO FUR! i don't like that they kill animals very brutal like seals. Or waring a tiger ( WHY?) The famely of my boyfriend ( uncle) has a fur farm in Poland and Holland, mink. I was shocked. Ritch mfck lives in Saint Tropez and likes to kill animals. Sad!

That's hideous. I guess the only consolation when you look at this stuff is that only like 1% of the human population will ever be able to buy it... and hopefully that means they'll make less of the designs
I think a lot of this is the PETA backlash though. Having a total fur collection is 100% vile, IMO. There's no need.
Just because the fashion world has beef with PETA, that doesn't mean the animals should suffer.

 

[Lovin_It]

I adore a fur.

That is just shameless.

Yes there are ways to find out how your fur was obtained, just look for the Origin Assured label: http://www.originassured.co.uk/home/

I had some vintage fur coats (rabbit, fox) but over the years, no matter how well I stored them, they started to smell, so I got rid of them this week. It's faux for me, from now on.

I remember Carine Roitfeld saying she doesn't like to wear fur "because it has a smell".

 

[Stamoholic]

^ Yeah, dead things tend to smell.

Good for you making the switch though!
