Hamster Coats..

[Busyman]

I have no problem with the making of fur coats if:

1. The animal is used for something else.
Ex. I disected minks in high school for biology.

and/or
2. The animal is grossly overpopulated (which is an entirely different topic (pushing animals further back from their natural habitat)).

I agree with Evil Gemini about testing on animals before testing on us.

It's amazing how people want to give "human rights" to animals. Being sadistic is the extreme but if there is a humane way of killing animals that in the end serves a useful purpose, then I'm all for it.

It's also funny how, in most cases, there is a bigger fight put up for animals that are cute and cuddly or used as pets.
Insects are never in equation.

Certain animal rights activists need to shut-up and focus there energies on more useful things.
If one were to throw blood on my fur coat, I'd gladly throw HCl and bleach on their burlap jacket (maybe some will actually get on them ).

This thread should be subtitled "Common Sense".

Kudos to Clocker, Sara (hey, girl&#33 and Busyman for enunciating it.

I think hamsters deserve coats as much as anyone.

Uh oh.

I&#39;m having some pretty heavy deja vu, here.

Not too sure at the moment.

Anyone see "Roger and Me", Michael Moore&#39;s first film? There was a scene with a woman who bred rabbits. They were worth more as meat than as pets, so she clubbed them to death to supplement her unemployment benefits.

There were so many complaints about that scene, and it was the only one the censors were concerned about (giving it an R rating).

No one minded a scene a few minutes later where a black guy was gunned down by some cops.

If only the black guy was cute and furry...

Exactly...
I&#39;m black so no one better not fuck with my fur(ry) coat.

Club the minks

Strip them

and disect them.

They are only minks.

This sentence fairly screams for elucidation, Busyman.

Why shouldn&#39;t animals be given the same rights as humans? Are humans really supierior and in what ways? surely they have as much right as anything else on this planet, just because there not human dosn&#39;t mean there unequal to us. Just because we have monopoly dosn&#39;t mean it is correct. I would use the example of native americans and how unfairely they were treated (some say as animals) in terms of being pushed off thier natural habitat and confined, just because the settlers had more power dosn&#39;t mean it was morally correct.
