I was reading a copy of Yen magazine this morning and they had a few pages dedicated to the need to eradicate the use of furs, leather, etc and how evil the industries are, yada yada.

Of course, the fur and leather industries aren't generally well-known for their loving, kind treatment of animals, but there are some farms that are better than others (and ironically, you often have to be careful of fake fur if it comes from China, because it can be cheaper to kill cats and dogs and use their fur as "fake" fur. Nice).

So anyways, it gets to the fashion shoot pages.

My first thoughts were, "Either the editors of this are daft w@*&#%s or are being ironic with those leather shoes, boots, cuffs and belts..."

i would lean towards the first option. mainly because everyone is a bit of a daft w@*&#%.

you mean that faux rabit-skin coat i bought (made in china) could actually be made out of kittens??! no wonder i hear that strange "mew" sound every time i put it on.

Clare - this is true *lol*

Kris - you never know... I was looking at a faux-fur lined hoodie in a shop the other day and thinking, "This feels like real fur." Things have never been the same since seeing that doco *sobs into tissues*
