I'd like to commend Katie on a very well written post. Our society unfortunately insists on slapping a label on anyone that expresses an opinion or stands up for what they believe in. I personally refuse to recognize this. But if being a radical means defending and preserving the life of all creatures great and small then sign me up! Yes, I get carried away and misword things sometimes ( as in a previous FML list), but I get so damn upset at people that are in this life for nothing but the almighty buck that sometimes my emotions just take over. And to think this ebayer would not even think of rewording her listing when requested VERY kindly, just makes my blood boil. Yes, I start hammering on this keyboard sometimes without thinking things completely through. But this fur business is something that I have absolutely NO tolerance for. Good grief, I can't even bring myself to bite the head off a gummy bear and people are actually profiting from the skins of animals?????? It's bad enough that animals are slaughtered for food but to think that someone would profit from the skin of an animal like a ferret. ABSOLUTELY UNCONSCIONABLE!!!! Our ferrets, our babies, our little sweetie faces that look to humans as THEIR friends and companions as we do to them. I love them as I do any human (and probably more than most humans I know) for they love without condition. My ferrets show me so much love, they run to me and climb up my leg, perching on my shoulder just to be close. Sometimes they do it to go to sleep but some will just lay there very contently, wide awake just for some quality mommy cuddle time. I probably don't even posess the vocabulary it would take to express my feelings on this subject but I'll telly you what does. Check out Jim Carrey in "When Nature Calls" and note his reaction when he walks into the room full of taxidermied animals. That says it all. I truly think that it is the responsibility of all FML'rs, whether they be Ebayer's or not to express their outrage on this issue. There is strength in numbers folks. FUR IS DEAD!!!!!
