					<description><![CDATA[I am very sick and tired of people telling us who wear fur we are evil. I have done my research and only purchase furs that are trapped or farmed with the proper labeling which is country of origin. I actually pay hundreds to thousands more per garment ensuring the furs I purchase Are legal and have cities certification which means not endangered species. Also on a personal level I do not purchase fur from Asian countries the quality is lesser and I need assurance of the furs origins. Us and farmed raised animals and trappers have strict guidelines and regulations to abide by. I eat meat and have several leather goods and leather interior in my car to me there is no difference. Also biproducts from mink farms are being used to make bio fuels for city buses And fur is biodegradable. My family have fought to keep the us a free country and I have the right choose what to wear And buy. I am a very self conscious educated fur consumer. So please just be respectful my family has paid a heavy price to keep our country free which is why animal acitivists have the right to protest. I will tell you activists though the average consumer are getting tired of your groups imposing your views in not a nice way and the PETA people if you do your research in Virginia at there animal shelter they have the highest kill rate. Look it up yourself through the state of Virginia and read the comments of why honest pet vets stopped donating animals to PETA, because they are killing them. Do your own research on this it really is eye opening!]]></description>

Have you ever seen how they get fur? Not propaganda sent to you by an &quot;activism&quot; group, but actually gone personally and witnessed yourself with your own eyes how they get fur?
If not then you have no right to denounce someone else for not having &quot;seen how they get fur&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How can you be okay with condemning animals to torture and death?  Have you ever seen how they get fur? Animals live in tiny filthy cages which is horrible enough, and then they electrocute them through their &quot;rear end&quot;. I understand some animal groups are extreme about it but how can you be okay with an innocent animal being tortured like that? That&#039;s sick.]]></description>

The Fur Industry will NEVER die because Millions of men and women choose to wear fur and leather and NO amount of BS peta flag waiving groups will NEVER bring it down. I for one and Im SURE there are many more will never dictate to me what to wear. I know I am not a heartless person you vegan/peta folks like to portray us because we wear fur. GET OVER IT and go find a cure for Cancer and Aids and feed the Hungry and Homeless.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The simple fact is that fur is unnecessary in this day and age.

As an industry, it directly supports needless suffering. Every unbiased individual with a heart and brain knows this.  Therefore it is against the basic precepts of moral reasoning and clashes with any ethical value system worth considering. 

Claims of hypocrisy aimed at vegans do nothing at all to justify the violence that trappers, and fur industry minions perpetuate knowingly and deliberately. Nice try though.

Claims that fur is more sustainable are laughable when viewed in context of the vastly more sustainable practice of veganism.

This site does a skillful job of creating a specious, superficially plausible (yet actually false) pro fur case. However, as one scratches beneath the surface of the fur advocacy B.S. with a little critical thinking and intelligence, this feeble, fragile case for fur withers away entirely in the light of reason - exposing it&#039;s proponents as mercenary shills and debased, depraved supporters of vile cruelty. 

As you are aware, and no doubt the reason you created this website, you can be certain that this will not stand and will not go unchallenged by the public once they see continuously mounting video evidence of the carnage. Reason and compassion will inevitably prevail.

I see the future on a tombstone.
Rest in Peace Fur industry. You tried, and died.]]></description>

Animal rights activism IS extremism, and they all deserve to be treated as such. Animal welfare activism is completely different, and that is a very respectable cause. But the animal rights movement believes that animals should not be used for food, clothing, as pets, support animals, for entertainment, or for medical testing. That would mean no more new medical advancements because every single major medical advancement to this day is thanks to testing on animals. These people are extremists and rely on terrorist actions to advance their cause. And if you are offended by the Nazi reference, then you should be much more offended by the constant comparison of livestock farming to the holocaust.]]></description>

I agree that spreading hate for any cause is wrong...and sadly many causes from small to nationwide are spreading that message these days. Which is why I think it&#039;s all the more important for those persons who don&#039;t believe in that message, to be really careful about the language they use. Do you not think that by comparing animal rights protestors to Nazi&#039;s, that you are setting some groundwork for feelings of anger and hate in many people? 
I don&#039;t support the fur trade. I also don&#039;t support violence or hate as a method of putting those feelings out into the world. I came across this post while doing some research, and as someone of Jewish heritage it really offended me. I think there is a way to calmly and eloquently state the facts that you are presenting without doing something like drawing a comparison between people pushing the boundaries for animals, and people trying to wipe out an entire race of humans. I am sorry...but there is no comparison. There are extremist groups of people that push things too far in many areas, animal rights being one of those many. I think you could make your case against those few extremists...not all animal rights activists, without comparing them to a group responsible for slaughtering millions.]]></description>
