Acts like a beast wears clothes made of beasts...I don't see what the problem is for the atheistic socialists? Oh, that's right, they feel lowly beasts are “equal” to humans...so it is speciesism. But it is simply fine to kill little boys and girls and use their cells for research.

FOD GAVE MAN COMINION OOVER THE ARTH. NOTHING IS WARMER THABN A NICE FUR COAT. NOTHING WEARS AS WELL AS LEATHER SHOES. I DO NOT GO ALONG WITH CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, EITHER THE TWO OR FOUR LEGGED ONES. I WILL CONTINUE TO WEAR MY FUR COATS, AND WEAR MY LEATHER SHOES, LIKE MOST SENSIBLE PEOPLE. FANAATICS ALWAYS HAVE AN AGENDA.

Along these lines, I saw someone wearing fur the other evening and told my husband — “Fur is coming back. People are tired of being badgered about every little thing.”

I don’t think the PETA folks hold much sway these days.
