The Vile Winter Trend

You only have to stroll round the shopping districts of London to notice an alarming trend that seems to have engulfed the fashion victims of London. This trend is more noticeable the more upscale the neighbourhood you tour – proving once again Money can’t buy you class! The winter trend can be seen on the Kensington ladies as the temperature remains cold, the Essex Wives, the Russian pin ups and the generally clueless women of Europe. Every time, I see this fashion Faux Pas, my stomach winces and I honestly feel like vomiting there and then. Another course of action is to accost the Fashion Victim and fire of a tirade of intelligent abuse – this action has been taken many times in the last couple of months and each time I’m glared at by their blinged up embarrassed Husband or the women turn away acting clueless and innocent about the mistake they are making. So what fashion mistake am I referring to? FUR! FUR! FUR! Animals farmed and often skinned alive so that selfish fashion victims can feel wealthy and warm at the same time! Why is Fur coming back into fashion?

Why – because people don’t care anymore! Surely this can’t be the case?

People are recycling more these days and pledging they care about the environment yet when it comes to the suffering of Animals, these Fur wearing Monsters don’t seem to care.

Back in the 80’s there were huge campaigns to stop people buying fur – models were claiming to boycott the trade and the who’s who of the celebrity world would stand up and fight against the fur trade persuading the dumb masses not to buy or wear fur. But that seems to have completely changed in recent years – every clueless celebrity out there that enjoys the bling seems to be wearing a fur coat!

Here are a few examples:

- 50 Cent – Is it really that Pimping Manly to wear all those little animals?

- Invanka Trump – Donald’s Daughter as clueless as ever from the 50-Cent School of Fashion mistakes!

- Jennifer Lopez – the Jacket may be tasteful from a distance but is that blood in the critters mouth really that tasteful as it feels the last few seconds of its life drain from its body - all for its precious pelt so Jenny from the Block can look good?

- Lindsay Lohan – Crap Actress with even crapper Fashion taste – oh dear!

- Madonna – Maybe the divorce from Guy Ritchie is affecting her ethical taste – has it now gone out the window?

- The Olsen Twins – Double trouble when it comes to fur – boycott their dire films if you have any sense.


It’s my belief that the increased wealth that has come out of Russia in the last 10years has helped contribute to this fashion trend – The Russians have always been big advocates of fur – can you blame them – Its cold over there most of the year round and before Communism fell they hadn’t experienced the technological progress that can be found in synthetic warmer wears such as Gortex & neither had they been exposed to the ethical education that we in the west had been exposed to.

Fur is simply wrong – continuous education should have been taking place in recent years highlighting the plight and suffering that is inflicted on animals all because of the fur trade, the ever intelligent fur industry should not have been allowed to claw back its wealth from the Russians & the Shallow Celebrities that inflict our airwaves.

Not convinced fur might not be cruel? Observe these films on the harvesting of fur (I warn you these films are graphic):

The majority of Fur these days comes from China – Why? Because, life in China is cheap and there is no regulation – If you believe you know where that French designer sourced his fur for your precious fur coat – you really don’t! It’s sold on mass to a general market.



Still happy about the fur coat walking past you in the street?


This one exhibits a Fat American Scumbag harvesting Chinchilla Fur.



PETA investigators on a fur farm in Midland, Michigan, saw chinchillas who were being electrocuted, causing painful seizures to the animals' hearts, and having their necks snapped while fully conscious. The reason they are not cut – Chinchilla fur is only of any worth to the designers as long as there are no markings on the fur.

There are hundreds of sickening videos to be found on YOUTUBE and the rest of the internet in regards to the fur trade. Do we need to pull out the cans of Red Paint once again?
Only Cavemen were fur – so why do we need to take a backward step in the 21st Century?

What PETA are doing to take a stand:
