PETA Rips 'Trollsen Twins' for $17,000 Fur Backpack: Are You on Team PETA or Team Olsen?

Ok. I wish you a nice day with lots of clean water .

Im against fur because of all the trees they have to chop down to make the protest signs

PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals

lol

The ONLY PETA I like is People Eating Tasty Animals.

Because the "Animal Rights Activist" group of PETA actually kills thousands of animals per year, often unnecessarily just to "keep them out of the hands of humans". They're the world's largest animal extermination organization.

"keep them out of the hands of humans". Delusional!

A great majority of these animals are terminally ill, and have you ever seen what happens to an animal that has been caged for 12 years? Euthanasia is often the most compassionate and dignified way for sick and unwanted animals to leave the world..

so thousands of animals PER YEAR, often healthy are "terminally ill" huh?

I don't know that...just asking you to provide some facts to substantiate your claim.

That's a start. Not going to use the various blog sites that claim this data. They're blog sites.

Well, seeing as how we have been using animal hide for clothing since the beginning of humans...
Honestly if the animals weren't killed inhumanely then i see no problem. Those animals would have been killed anyway, weather for food or clothing, they probably would still be dead.

"Trollsen" very mature PETA.

Amen, an'

Well Said ;0 )

1) this backpack is UGLY! 2) faux fur would look just the same, so what really is the point of real fur items? To flaunt your wealth? While PETA loves to be extreme and immature, unless you need fur to survive, there's no point in it. Not for fashion purposes.

PETA also loves to kill animals. Seriously, they have the highest kill record of ANY group, animal rights activists or not.

Don't get me wrong, I don't support PETA! I just don't support fur fashion either!

Awesome. And yeah, I don't really get the whole "wearing fur" bit either. Leather jackets, yeah I get that, but leather is a byproduct of manufacture of other products so isn't a waste of materials.

And the fact that someone would pay so much for a purse, first of all, and a purse made of an unnecessary material! Very sad.

Heh. Well, I mostly posted that so people who are ignorant of just what hypocrites PETA really are can get informed.

Yeah but the bad thing is, most people won't listen.

Most people, sure. But someone will, and that does make it worth it.

I absolutely HATE PETA... and, I kind of like the Olsen twins. But, I think fur is pointless and cruel (since the animal is generally just killed for its pelt, not used in its entirety). Faux fur looks just fine. I don't like seeing fur in high fashion, since that makes it 'trendy' and acceptable.

I do not like the 0lsen twins. Their superficiality makes it difficult to like them. Just the same, I don't object to anyone owning a fur backpack, a fur coat, or anything else useful made from animal skins. That's what these creatures, which are usually bred in captivity, exist for.

As for animals "having the fur ripped off of them while they are still alive" as the article suggests, I seriously doubt that. PETA representatives should give some consideration to their own credibility before making absurd statements. Not everyone believes every stupid thing falling from the mouth of an activist.

While PETA has gone a little overboard from time to time, I've been on their team for a long time and will continue to be on their team to my dying day.

I never understood the meaning of "animal rights", what does this mean? If an animal doesn't know what it is then why do we give it to them as if they do? Besides, I would think another human, who could one day understand the meaning, should be given the "right" to live over an animal. This progressive world we live in does not make very much progress.

Personally, I think a "furry" backpack is down-right retarded. We should stick with alligator, crocodile, snake, shark, or seal skins. :)

Hmm. How about a human skinned backpack?

Sorry, I can`t resist. Would you like to donate ?

Don't be sorry... that made me laugh. :-)

People walking around like Quasimodo "hunch backs", nah! May attract more zombies. A lite thermal space backpack would be a cool thing though!

Trappers are not fur manufacturer's. I'm glad your trapper friends aren't that cruel. I have friends who hunt and they are not cruel either. But, PETA is telling the truth about fur manufacturers who only want the fur and living breathing animals aren't going to stop them from making a buck. It's sickening, but it is true.

Watch this if you dare...

I hunt and fish. I consume what I harvest. I have watched your video. No one could accuse those people of humanity. I value people above animals, however, these sink to a new level for me. It appears that they waste much time trying to skin a struggling animal, than if they just humanely killed it first. Ever look into their eyes? Not many have more than a flat look of someone who has no respect for life of any kind. So, why doesn`t peta go after the Chinese ? I don`t hear anything from any so called celebrity on tv showing their compassion and outrage.

It isn't because it isn't there. I believe you are just becoming aware. The video was taken from the PETA site based strictly on the campaign against China's fur industry.

You are talking to someone who thinks it is better to eat honestly hunted game than industrialized meats. I do not hate the practice of hunting unless it is a canned hunt where the animals are basically domesticated inside a fence, baited with food and then someone with a gun sits and waits for them to appear. That is not hunting. (Well, maybe wussy hunting.) Ted Nugent does these hunts on his property.

My Dad made his second income on butchering game. He taught me no part of the animal should be wasted out of respect for the living creature who made the sacrifice. You are 100% right. Fur is not ethical. Maybe there was once a day when it was necessary to use the skins for shelter/clothing/warmth but they STILL used the rest of the animal for sustenance. With the progress of man-made materials it is now unnecessary in most parts of the world. Anyone aware of this practice is also aware that CHINA is THE leader in this atrocity. I hope you are now as well.

As for celebrities...take your pick:

I'm not a fan of the fur backpack either, but PETA has been whacko for the past few years. Whomever is in charge needs help. I wouldn't side with PETA these days.

Wow, I never thought I would side with them on anything. But it's PETA. I can't respect anything PETA does because it comes from idiotic extremists who think animals are exactly like humans. Wearing an animal skin does not equate to wearing the skin of a human.

Yes, I understand that the fur trade is full of cruelty to animals. But if PETA really wanted to make a difference, they would be trying to bite it at the source instead of barking to the Olsens.

As long as they're not endangered i don't see a problem with it.

I'm not a fan of fur, but I'm also not a fan of PETA. They come across as childish with their tactics and they seem to shock and exploit more than they save and protect. I prefer ASPCA. It's not about them, it's about the animals. Yes, even with that Sarah McLachlan song.

I'm just peeved that the Olsens made a $17,000 backpack. I could buy a car with that money!

Go create a bunch of really stupid, cheesy videos for young girls and you will probably have money to waste like the 0lsens.
