"There's no difference, in my opinion, [between fur and] slavery or the Holocaust," Long said. "It's just that we're not dealing with human beings, we're dealing with animals, but it's still a living thing."

To be honest, I have a problem with your stance on wearing fur as "to each his own", it's on par with rapist saying "I like raping women, so what? Different strokes for different folks. I'm stronger than them, and I'm able to do it, so why not? If you don't like it, don't do it, but I'm going to get my rape on." Just because you have the ability to do something CERTAINLY doesnt necessarily mean you should. Regardless of whether you like it, you have to realize the amount of cruelty you're placing upon someone weaker than you, all for the sake of something as meaningless and frivolous as fashion.

Nia Long certainly looks better than Mrs. Hussein.
It's amazing one woman can look so fine and the other justs looks god-awful.

I don't really understand why people even wear fur anymore. Especially since there's faux fur which passes for real. THough I think she looks beautiful, I feel dirty just looking at this ad. After being on many many subways, there's no way in hell I'd stick that poll between my legs (I don't even like to sit in the seats sometimes), and that's all I can think about when I look at this.

ooooooo...nakid hot chicks and PITA, People Eating Tasty Animals?? Oh, I'm there! Pass the barbeque sauce! Darn though, the photo looks photo shopped and she looks added into the pic. Is it really her? I don't wear fur (well, yes I do, but it grows there on its own) but I may just for this cause.

to fur or not to fur...it really doesn't matter to me. We have people starving, murdering, and out of work and we are worried about furs on individuals that can really care less about the rest of us.

i personally will not give up meat. PETA can state their views as much as they want but when they start throwing paint and flour they've gone too far. it would be oh so nice if they just left everyone else alone. as for the celebs who are vegan/vegitarian because of pressure, what shallow idiots. i myself will always be a member of PETA, people eating tasty animals
