Poor animals.

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?

I, however, do not just restrict my diet to the above. I do on occasion kill and eat potatoes, peas, carrots, etc. The poor innocent things. I can hear the potato hissing and screaming in the microwave but there is nothing I can do about it. It has to be done. Sometimes I actually pull the skin off of the potato while it is alive and make a coat out of it. Sorry if that offends your sensibilities but I need warmth during the fall and winter.
but that bag is just impractical and dumb looking, what a waste..and that is supposed to be a backpack??I have several backpacs some for day trippin, some for several days..even an old military Alicepack..I didnt pay the price of a new car for any of them
If they think humans and other animals are equal, then why don't they shed their clothes and go live in the wild like their furry friends?? Haha
