     "Too bad you..."  Give me a break.  Please.  This kind of stuff
irritates me no end...  What in the world is wrong with wanting a fur
coat?  THEY ARE JUST ANIMALS.  Why should anyone care about them?
Animals are just piddly little scum, beneath human notice.  No, wait,
they make good moving targets, I'll give them that.

     The people who say dumb things like, "We should stop this senseless
killing," should start thinking about reality.  What's the big deal with
offing a bunch of stupid animals?  They aren't human, so why should you
care?  The reason that animals are skinned for coats is that there are
people who are willing to pay large amounts of money for the coats.  That's
the reality of the situation.  There's nothing wrong with it, and all
these weenies who gripe and moan about it are just wasting their effort
on something that isn't worth their time.  Why don't you animal rights
types start spending your time on something that merits human attention?
