ok, anyone that truly knows me knows that I love animals and that I think of my cats as family members and not as pets. Well, early this morning I went out to the store to get a few things. Surprisingly it was cold here in FL so I put on a coat. This coat looks like suede but it isn't. It is made with all man made materials. The lining feels and looks like a stuffed animal fur. I call this coat my Teddy Bear Coat lol.
Anyway as I was walking out of the store, some lady walked passed me and mumbled, "animal killer." Thinking I may have misunderstood what she said I asked her to repeat herself. She told me that I was inhuman for wearing some animals skin on my body. I informed her that my coat was man made materials and that she shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Then she decided to tell me that because my coat looked like real suede that I was basically supporting those that wore real fur. In the end I called her a tree hugging idiot and laughed as I walked away while she continued to yell at me.
This is the first time I have ever experienced anything like this and I will not lie, it pissed me off. Humans have canine teeth for a reason. Our bodies need certain proteins that can only come from meat. I don't by any mean support abusing animals or mistreating them, I'm totally against that, but I do know that we need meat to live healthy lives and I don't feel bad when I eat my steak.
I really hate how PETA freaks yell at us about eating meat and using pelt to make things. Do they yell at a Wolf when he kills a rabbit? Do they try and convince a lion to eat grass instead of the gazel?
I have nothing against those that choose to be vegetarians. Its their choice so whatever. Just don't try and tell me that I'm wrong cause I choose to munch on a pigs rib.
