Wearing animals

We have all seen the adverts with all the naked supermodels on the Internet. Apparently they are making us aware of the fact that wearing fur is murder. You know, whilst in the nuddy. This is an excellent way to make your point. The most memorable work presentation I ever gave was the one where I got naked halfway through.

But enough about my nakedness, back to the naked supermodels. I am in agreement with them. Sort of. I believe that if people want to wear fur, then fine, but they should have to catch and kill the animal themselves. That way, it would not only be a fashion statement, but also a trophy of sorts. A bit like decorative medals in the military.

I am pretty sure that mink coats would be less popular overnight. Those little fuckers actively seek out fights with snakes.

SNAKES!

The crazy little bastards. As such, I don’t imagine an ageing middle-class woman in need of fashionable winter wear would hold much fear for the mink. Plus the fact it takes several minks to make a coat, so even if the elderly huntress managed to catch one of them, I’m pretty sure she would change her mind and decide a mink scarf would suit them much better.

I am not a hypocrite though. Yes, I do have a leather jacket, but I think it is made from the skin of a calf, though I can’t be 100% sure, as I had it made whilst on holiday in Turkey years ago. Of course, I would have no qualms about catching a calf to make the jacket. They are not dangerous, and pretty tame, so the actual chase would be quite easy.

If this rule was brought in it would make it much easier to tell who you should not mess with. I would have a new found respect for anyone wearing the skin of a bull and would stay well clear of anyone in Crocodile shoes, and not just because they look like an utter fucking twat.
