CHICAGO - PETA says it's okay to wear fur - if you're homeless.

The animal rights group handed out more than 100 fur coats Thursday to women staying at the Matthew House homeless shelter on the South Side.

Thanks.

And I thought that I had seen/heard everything.

ABSURD!

[Carthego delenda est]

So, people some decide to stop wearing fur coats and of all places, decide to donate them to PETA? Yeah, right. Maybe there were some past robberies of clothing stores that specialized in fur coats and PETA just happened to obtain them?

I’ll be darn. How many of these will end up at the pawn shop or traded for $20 worth of smack?

Lol! I hadn't thought of that. Of COURSE that will happen.

I hope their media SMACKS (Pun intended.) PETA for their stupidity. The media will probably just call it "recycling."

They are probably thinking that by giving furs to the homeless, they will reduce the appeal of others to wear such furs as status symbols.

I agree they are only supplying the used fur market. Only question is whether you can get that homeless stank out of the fur.

Well that would be true if the wealthy fur wearers ever had the opportunity to rub shoulders with the homeless. Do the homeless go to the opera? :o)

The stink of non-bathing would stink up the fur forever. They SHOULD give those stinky, used furs to the carnivores at the zoo to "play with." :o)

Never EVER think that way when it comes to a lefty. It is just *begging* for them to exceed their last crazy stunt to the power of 5. Or 10.
You’ve seen the guy who thinks he’s a goat, right? I’ll bet they can even top that.

What they can and cannot do depends on the make-up of Congress. Lefties out of power just turn to Hollywood to lick their wounds.

FUNNY FARM occupant, sadly.

lol Oh crap. Then they’ll just spread the infection.

Oh wow. Seriously? That makes me feel kinda bad, then. It’s not that far fetched that something like that could become a trend with them, though.
They need their own country. And we need a wall- a BIG one.

You can't stop people from being stupid, rude, unhappy or sinful.
But staying in your own nice part of town helps!
