the Christina Ricci W cover was appalling. It was such a blatant in your face display of fur. The next issue, the readers react section was flooded with negative feedback, people criticizing the mag, some even said they were cancelling their subscriptions and I think that's great.

Fur shouldn't be condoned. Sure, it's gorgeous, but common it's ****ing cruel. Some people say wearing fur is the same as eating meat, I disagree. You are wearing fur to look cool, you are eating meat to live, even if you can eat vegetables only, it's still valid in my book to eat meat.

wool's bad too?

this is only australiam merino sheep. the merino has large folds of skin in order to get more wool pr pound of sheep. the folds give more surface to grow wool.

anyways, they have a huge flystrike problem which kills the sheep. the folds of skin around the anus collect feces and basically rot and the flies breed in those folds and then the larvae feed on the necrotic and living tissue and infect the animal. it happens very very quickly.

so the sheepherders cut the skin around the anus. the procedure is called museling.

i do not buy australian merino wool yarn bc of this. there are other more time consuming ways of caring for the sheep. i think that although more time consuming this should factor into the care of the sheep. museling is really gross.
