lmao.
I've been trying to harvest some pelts. But, no raccoons, skunks, or any other furry woodland creatures have been anywhere near my place. I'll have to double my effort.

I'm just waiting for round 2 from the activists... what's next? No leather jackets?

As far as the other animals being scarred by having to watch their friends get skinned... fairly often, if one of their friends died in the cage, they'd be thinking "Awesome! Now I can eat some fresh meat. " I don't think they see the death of others as particularly tragic.

I'm gonna kill some kittens and make myself some fur underwears. Weather's getting cold.

Chipmunks are better. Plus it takes a lot more of 'em!

Hmmm..
<--- will think of this thread next time he pulls the trigger.

I'm soooo glad we don't have any PETA and animal loving hippies during the ice age. Well, maybe we do, but they probably all froze to death.

Great... now I'm going to have to beat the sh1t out of some foxes and such to counterbalance J Crew's actions, just like I was eating extra meat to counteract the vegetarians. Oh well...

I guess those poor kids in the Altoplano who have that one or two Llamas to eat for food will not be able to sell the fur for clothes now. Thanks!

You get wool from llamas.
I suppose it's true that you could make llama furs, but I've never heard of anyone doing so.

LLama furs, jacket liners, rugs, etc. They raise the Llama to eat and get extra money from the hide. Yeah, the wool works too and is used extensively, but they also harvest the meat and fur. More money from one animal in a place where nothing else will grow.

I don't get you guys. If you don't object to fur, fine. I'm not a vegetarian or anything myself. But to be all like "I'm gonna buy MORE from them now that I know they skin animals alive!"...does that make you a big man, or something?

Damn straight. Stupid hippies. I was at Costco for lunch yesterday and this dude sitting a table away from me was eating a chicken caesar salad. So I was eating my combo pizza and then something occured to me, the damn hippie picked out all the chicken strips. WTF?

Heh, funny that you have an icon of a hippy, and your name is "Baked." That aside, why are you so easy to piss off? Why the hell do you care if he eats chicken or not? Jesus tap dancing Christ, people like you make no sense to me.

Because there are millions of people who go hungry everyday, while you have high class wannabes who go outta their way to avoid meat, and go as far as throwing them in the garbage. That's what pisses me off. And what does my name have anything to do w/ vegans and hippies? For all you know, it can mean Baked Lay's potato chips.

And for the record, I didn't eat the chicken outta the guy's salad, I saw him pick out the chicken and put it on the cover before he started eating the salad, so the chicken was clean. And yes, those grilled chicken strips were good eatin'.

Your solution to world hunger is to consume more yourself? 😕

I don't know how you got that out of what he said. It wasn't a solution to world hunger, it was just him eating what some dumb vegetarian might have just thrown away.
EDIT: And Baked deserves some certificate of awesomeness for actually asking for the chicken to have with his pizza, badass.

Pretty simple how I got that out of what he said:

Because there are millions of people who go hungry everyday, while you have high class wannabes who go outta their way to avoid meat, and go as far as throwing them in the garbage. That's what pisses me off.

He's saying that avoiding eating meat is ridiculous when there are starving people all over the world. My advice to him would be to donate money to those causes, or do whatever he can to help out if he really cares. Taking some dude's chicken cause he wasn't gonna eat it doesn't make the little boy in Africa any less hungry. Nor would the 1st guy eating the chicken in the first place have any effect on the little boy in Africa. It's a stupid argument, in other words.

And Baked, I'd still like to hear your response to this, if you are willing.

Boycott cavemen exhibits! They use animal furs to clothe themselves!

pretty much, i don't support such boycotts because the people behind them are not reasonable. they aren't fighting for humane fur, just a total ban. they'd ban leather if they could.
