Fur Coats

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

Chicken!

and

Wool

It's OK to eat McDonalds, wear leather shoes, eat battery farmed eggs, but fur coats, how disgusting eh!?

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

Have you tried eating a fur coat? Fecking horrible!

Just returned from an expedition up North - and collected some stuff from an ex-relative's estate, including a couple of very nice mink coats.

What on earth am I supposed to do with these? They're nice coats and retailed at around 6k back in the fifties, but today they're worthless, aren't they?

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!!

Stick it on E-bay and see what you get?

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