    Fox News: “Millenials are killing the fur industry!”

    Disclaimer: I am not a vegan. I like animals, but I’ve only gotten as far as being conscious of animal products. I try to reduce my usage of them, but I’m not free of them by a long shot. Just putting this here in case someone points out the hypocrisy. They’d be right, but for what it’s worth, I’m trying.

      That’s all anyone asks, everyone’s journey is of different lengths and of different steepness too. Some go cold turkey immediately and others slowly phase products out. Just keep progressing and educating yourself further on the matter (as we all should be) and you’ll always be good in my books.

    I do think the fact that being dresses in fur makes you look like a total asshole has much to do with this.

    If only there was some equally obvious way to identify someone as fascist. Something like them shouting fascist ideology, hanging out with other likeminded assholes and doing a certain awkward arm gesture. Then without a doubt we could interpret them also as a total asshole just like if they would be wearing furs. Right?

    Cruealla be like these furs are legaly sourced and those pups where clearly hardend criminals. I know someone who got bit by a dog once. We had to shoot it down as a response. does shooting motion while winking All that dog food they leach from us, and infrastructure like their own public toilets. its a total total fraud by woke pet lovers.

      Eh, that’s very cultural. In Easter Europe it’s very normalized to wear fur.

      One big reason for mink decline is also mink-related diseases being passed to humans, causing huge cullings…

    Indeed that was refreshing to read, and much needed. At the moment it feels like a tsunami of bad news and bad takes is flooding online communities, so these kinds of encouraging posts feel like a Public Service. Thanks

    Cactus and mushroom leather are becoming visible. I recently wanted to get a new belt and new camera strap. My new belt and strap are not animal based.
