    Have a look at these - made me laugh. Images are work safe, but best to use headphones as there is a bit of swearing!

    You will soon find that these things are not OK. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with more than 1.6 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. and they say "animals are not ours to eat".

    The Animal Liberation Front doesn't want you to wear wool, never mind leather.

    When they're done with fur, they will come after the leather-shoe-wearers, and the meat-eaters, and even the wool-wearers and the egg-eaters.

    I'm sure you'll find a specialist if you look hard enough (start here - http://www.britishfur.co.uk/). Or, look for fur dealers on yell.co.uk.

    Failing that, EBay would do the trick I suppose...

    Did anybody see 'balls of steel' on Friday - the annoying devil character wearing a fox and signing one of those petitions against animal cruelty

    I'd flog them If I knew where to sell, no use to me and being pragmatic about this, the mink are long dead so not bothered about the ALF issues, but a lot of people are.

    Any ideas?
    Put them on ebay. Not everyone is still a tree hugging namby-pamby lentil-snuffling veggie!!

    Dunno, but whatever you do, make sure you have a big stroll around Body Shop in one of those fetching coats
