The Olsen twins have created another unbelievably expensive backpack -- and this time, they've managed to incur the wrath of PETA. The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals slammed the "Trollsen Twins" for the almost $17,000 fur backpack they designed for their fashion line, The Row.

"If it looks like a troll and acts like a troll, it's probably a Trollsen Twin -- or someone wearing one of their new $16,000 totes, which are made from the fur and skins of innocent animals," PETA said in a statement to E! News. "What the Olsens lack in creativity, they try to make up for in shock value. Sadly, it's the foxes, calves, and alligators -- who often have the fur ripped off them while they are still conscious and able to feel pain -- who pay the dearest price."

Despite the price -- and the pain -- stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Zoe called the accessory "next season's staple item." We're not sure how many schoolkids can afford an almost $17,000 backpack, but we guess they're out there ... Do you think PETA was too hard on the Olsen twins? Or right on the money?

    O.K. Idiot. Once and for all: it's not murder to kill a non-human. One CAN NOT murder an animal; one can only kill it and they are not the same thing.

    You're only 17. What could you know about it. I've killed many Viet Cong and can not be tried for murder. Case closed.

    Law . the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.

    The insults were not needed. Clearly my 17 year old mind seems a lot more mature than yours. What do I know about it? Killing is killing, murder is murder, enough said. Your response is insensitive and heartless, have a good day.

    {The insults were not needed.}
    They were intended to wake you up.

    {Clearly my 17 year old mind seems a lot more mature than yours.}
    If you think that killing an animal is murder then you are the one that lacks maturity. You think too much with your heart and have difficulty reasoning. I cited the LAW on what murder is...the taking of a HUMAN life, not the taking the life of a cow, etcetera. If killing an animal were murder, the jails would be crowded with over 99% of the U.S. population. What would you feed us? Tofu?

    {Your response is insensitive and heartless...}
    Of course it was. It was intended to be.

    PETA seems like there in the wrong here. Whats with the name calling??? How do you expect us to take you seriously when you act like you're five? I highly doubt that any of the animals where alive when their fur was taken either.

    Actually skinning animals alive if one way of taking the fur out. And even though the name calling was a little too much, PETA is absolutely right.

    PETA does something the wrong way. Go into Iran and protest and see what happen to you...

    Cop out answer. This is not Iran and the behavior of others should never be used to excuse one's own behavior.

    Sometimes PETA takes it too far. That's all I am saying. If you disagree with what they are doing, go to them. You don't have to get out in public and call them out like that. Maybe if your meeting with them doesn't go to good, then you bring it to the media attention
  • David H... Raphy 2012/07/07 03:22:16

    I agree completely Raphy, often PETA takes it too far and much of their material is disingenuous if not outright fabrication. My response to you was prompted by the Iran reference, completely out of the context of the discussion at hand.

    As a proud vegetarian, I support PETA in this case, even though I support the Humane Society.. Making things out of animal fur is wrong and pointless. dont kill animals gif

    Actually fur is one reason humanity survived. We used that before linen. Hell I find nothing wrong with fur if the animal's death was swift and the meat does not go to waste.
  • Bill Nikki<3 2012/07/08 18:47:26
    Bill
    Do you expect us to just wrap ourselves in animal meat instead of fur?
    Hey? What's wrong with killing baby animals? They're easier to kill and cook faster and are more tender. Yum.
    Killing nature? Whenever I club a baby seal, a tree doesn't die. What do you mean?
    Worms? I don't kill them...the hooks does.
    Who stepped on the little butterfly at the bottom of your poster? Poor, innocent, freakin' filthy bug.

    The Olson twins and those who think that fur coats are great to wear, they should take a peek on how those creeps rip the flesh of those animals while they are still alive, only someone so evil would do such cruelty, how would Olson twins react if two sick criminal with the same creepy thought, grabs one of the Olson twins, and with a kitchen knife, starts ripping out the skin of one of those twin sisters, crabs needle and thread, and makes a coat out off her skin, and wears it while the other twin with her family watch the same cruelty and can't do nothing about it, how would they feel, i guarantee you that if that happens, they would think twice on wearing a fur coat ever again; they have go through the same pain to see how it feels.

    ". . . , they should take a peek on how those creeps rip the flesh of those animals while they are still alive, . . . " and i should believe what you say why. anyways isn't easier and cheaper to skin animals that are already dead. what kind of moron would even attempt that. i get the distinct impression that your just making that up or repeating something stupid you found without looking or even thinking.

    Well, to start, there are sick people that actually do that, Hitler did it with the jews in a different way and with another purpose, or other sick guy called Leather Face from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and old wild tribes from South America and different countries; if you don't believe it? search the web. I don't make stuff up, it's not my intention of doing so; but like you said, why don't they do it with dead animals?, is better not to do it at all, there is always immitation fur or leather. Do you research on those freaks, then make any comment you want.Here is one link on one tribe that skin their victims alive: http://www.niobraracountylibr... I read History, it's my favorite course; I do a research before i make such a comment just to let you know. bye.

    Liberal fascists want to control the lives of others including the clothes we wear.

    I will BUY MORE FUR after reading this.

    Nobody's trying to control their life... It's pointless to kill animals for something that can easily be duplicated by man.

    If you're going to kill an animal for food, does it not make sense to use every part of the kill as possible? Otherwise the fur would just go in the garbage. So what is the difference?
  • Nikki<3 Man_Bea... 2012/07/05 03:22:22
    Nikki<3
    they didn't use animals people eat... And I'm a vegetarian, so I don't agree with eating animals either.

    In that case, stop trying to push your freak show beliefs on people. You have no clue whether the animals were used in food or not.

    Okay i don't care I believe it's wrong, we have access to other things to eat.. Don't criticize my beliefs, because judging from your personality, I have a feeling you have some "freak show beliefs" too... But just to be clear I don't think you of all people should be criticizing anyone..
  • Man_Bea... Nikki<3 2012/07/06 04:33:35
    Man_Bear_Pig
    You were the one who was judging to begin with. You can't go around criticizing everyone for eating meat and NOT expect to hear anything back.
  • Nikki<3 Man_Bea... 2012/07/06 04:37:02

    I didn't criticize anyone for eating meat I just said it against my beliefs... I criticized your personality for trying to tell me I have "freak show beliefs"

    Show me the lion who kills something, leaving the carcass to rot in the sun so it can parade around for its friends showing off how much disposable income it has. Its a totally false equation you are making.

    If the animals they are taking the pelts from are ending up on someone's dinner table as well you might have a point. How much do you want to bet the carcasses from these animals end up in the landfill?
