Not an isolated event....
Let me just say before you get your unders in a wad about thinking I am a tree hugging liberal--- I would say I am a tree snuggler. OK-- so I might be a tiny bit liberal. I also need to tell you before I go into my blog rant that when I was little (before I knew better) I always wanted a rabbit fur coat. I am going to blame this on the Little House on the Prarie and also on a cute little girl whom I went to Elementry school with. She had a rabbit skin coat..... Oh the jealousy. on with the story. Late last winter I am out with the dogs in the front yard. I can see the neighbor also out walking her dogs.. wait for it
She is walking her dogs in a full length fur coat..... I need to mention at this point in the story that I am standing in the front yard in a bathrobe and no shoes. Hardly weather that requires such apparel. I could not believe my eyes!!
So today I am in Publix (that is a local grocery store) and I see a ginormous woman wearing a fur coat. It looks like she had like 50 dead cats on her! I am thinking WTF is wrong with you.(yes Mom that is what you think it is) I know you can afford something else to wear. I turn away to see another woman and another woman....4 total!!! I bet if I stayed long enough I could of counted them all afternoon. I am thinking to myself we are in a new decade. WE do not wear fur. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to go all Peta on you but I love animals, I love to EAT animals. I wear leather shoes, I eat beef. I have no problems with this. When was the last time you ate mink, or fox or what about a tasty rabbit even. SHHEEESH What are you teaching your children and grandchildren? BLAH
What I would like to see is these Southern ladies take a stroll in California on a cold day in their furs.... THAT my friends would be funny.

Just curious how you may react if you see men wearing fur coats.
I was checking out handbags. A Hermes POROSUS CROCODILE bag will set you back $85,000.00. Yes, you counted the zeros correctly. Get this, There is a waiting list!

Welllll I do not like it. I did date a guy when I was in High School who wore a long fur. He was uber wealthy and I kinda expected it. We are living in a different time. I just would not do that. On one hand it is wasteful to let a good coat go to waste but I could not do it. For this part of the world having a fur is a statement of wealth. It is not a message I want my children getting. If we killed ate and recycled part of the animal then I would be ok with it. Once when I was younger I went to visit my Dad. He lives in an old house. He had mentioned that he put an elkskin on my bed in case I got cold. I was like no way am I going to sleep with that. In the middle of the night I found it and could not of been warmer! It was from an elk that my Dad had killed and ate so to me that is one thing....

although I believe fur coats are a bit over the top I'd wear one just to irritate the PETA idiots

I think you've stumbled across a new industry! A franchise Called "Mink, Fox and Rabbit". Mink burgers, fox dogs, and rabbit stew! Then everyone can feel better about killing cute little helpless critters for vanity coats.
