Despicable! I signed and I've send it on to my friends, too.  Done. I signed too...this is an outrage...Unbeleiveable.......I hope those responsible, or in agreement burn in Hell A bear rug is not art either - but a lot of people have them in their log cabin living room. Thank you All much appreciated its also a good site to be a member of,CHEERS ! It's no different from cow hide, bear rugs, pelts, belts, or fur trimmed clothing. While I, myself, wouldn't be interested in something like this nor ever purchase such items, I see no reason to get all up in arms because its a dog vs that of a seal, bear, rabbit, raccoon, fox, wolf, deer, cow, antelope, elephant, tiger, moose, etc. Either stop the entire fur trade or accept it. Crying out for one animal seems kind of disingenuous to me. It's no different from cow hide, bear rugs, pelts, belts, or fur trimmed clothing.Well, wait. Some of those animals are eaten, and some aren't. I think if you use all of the animal, it is different than if you only use the fur and discard the rest. Killing the animal for food and using the fur isn't the same as using the fur and discarding the rest, is it? I like your point Mousie. Fox Pelts, Seal skin, Coon hides, Beaver pelts - not all that gets eaten I understand what you are saying, and I actually agree with it because I too experienced a culture where dogs aren't treated as food or pelts. But looking at it rationally I cannot see where there is really any difference between a dog pelt or a bear rug. But I have to ask, are you honestly going to agree that dog pelts would become ok if one day cans of Alpo are no longer meant for dogs but for human consumption? But I have to ask, are you honestly going to agree that dog pelts would become ok if one day cans of Alpo are no longer meant for dogs but for human consumption?I don't quite get this because Alpo isn't made out of dog, (or is it???!) However, I don't see a reason not to use the fur of a dog if you are in fact eating the dog. I say if an animal gives its life up, use all you can. And I think using pelts and not the meat is stupid, like baby seals and foxes, or even that classy bear rug. For me, it comes down to a certain *respect* for the life that you take. Indians and Eskimos learnt to utilize everything from the animals they killed and they never killed more than they needed. The meat, bones, the pelts, the fat, the sinews etc where used. To just kill an animal for fancy fur trimmings on a coat, for fashion, to boost one's ego (trophy hunters), or for floor rugs just shows NO respect for the life that is taken IMO. I just signed the petition. This makes me sick.  I don't quite get this because Alpo isn't made out of dogIt was only meant as a reference to a popular food easily recognizable for dogs. But I agree with you and tncbt in that taking furs for fashion is disgusting. But people all over the world think differently. I think that someone clipped something about having pets stuffed after they die so that the owner can always have them. I think that is a bit odd and I'd never do it myself. There are some levels of society that simply cannot accept taking fabricated 'fake' fur over the real thing. I think that comes more from affluent arrogance than from anything else. My point was that people take offense at this particular u... While I agree that it is messed up to have a dog fur rug, I would not apply the term murder to this situation. This implies that dogs are on the same level as humans, which they very much are not. The reason dogs get special consideration over the bears of the world is purely due to domestication. Mankind has a special relationship with dogs that we don't have with many other animals. Show me a hunter who takes a cow out to retrieve ducks for him, and I may reconsider. I think the term "murder" does apply here. Being that dogs are domesticated (and have been for thousands of years) they're basically extensions of the human family. Same with Cats. So I signed the petition. I think it has a lot to do with what we deem the intelligence level of the animal. It's okay to kill, slaughter, butcher, whatever if the animal isn't intelligent (i'm saying that this is what i think a lot of people think, subconciously). It's just my opinion, but it's what i've always thought. And of course the fact that we keep these animals by our sides. Take them into our homes, and keep them as family. Thank you ALL for your signatures and comments,i clipped this because i thought it was disgusting just like i would be if it was any other animal,killing animals in this way is wrong so i would sign any petition to help prevent this happen to any animal its better than sitting back in your chair and doing nothing,no matter how small it is what you do at least you are doing some thingx |
