Vintage fur. 08/13/2010
During our campaigns a number of shop owners have tried to justify the sale of vintage fur claiming that if it is second hand it is "ok" because it is not a new item, this is NOT the case!! Wether an animal was tortured and murdered for its fur two months ago, two years ago or 20 years ago, it still doesn't make the suffering and painfull death that the animal went through ok!! Therefore it is a massive disrespect to that animal for someone to profit off that death and for someone to think it is ok then to drape the skin and fur of that animal over themselves and think that this is acceptable!! It most certainly IS NOT!! The vintage fur trade perpetuates the idea that it is ok to wear the skin and fur of a dead animal and promotes it as an acceptable item of fashion, in fact vintage fashion has had a massive influence on mainstream fashion with some designers even making clothes look "older" some people even say that this has had alot to do with real fur starting to make its way back onto the high streets, thankfully the majority of people still see the fur trade as disgusting and should have been got rid of a long time ago! For all the above reasons we will campaign until there is no fur (2nd hand or new) sold in Nottingham!

I agree that most animal rights activists are opposed to the trapping and killing of wildlife, and the confinement and killing of animals on fur farms 04/19/2011 13:50
I think sometimes you have to write like this – sharp and without compromise. Like this your style of writing.
