So long as the fur trader is operates inside of the law, it is the protectors who are in the wrong. If they don't like it they should take their complaints to congress and get the law changed to ban fur. That's the American way, democracy, people power and the rule of law. This isn't medieval Europe. MLK and Gandi didn't change the world by threatening people. While I don’t believe in wearing fur, and don’t wear it myself, I also don’t believe in this kind of protest.

"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans, any more than black people were made for whites or women for men" - Alice Walker whoo go "moon bats"! am i the only one who thinks it’s kind of funny that all of the people trying to protect lives are called things like goons and criminals
and then they say they only can see one side?
sounds like denial to me
but not everyone grew up the way i did, so i can see that if they grew up learning that animals were there for them to dominate it would be very hard to change their mind by protesting
that causes anger
don’t get me wrong

And oh btw leave me your e-mail and we can dialog. I can show you a Vegan who likes a fight. Might be more intresting for you. And by fight i mean intellectually but im more than willing to have a good dust up in the name of stupidity anytime/anyplace. Still glib???

Don't believe what he says about "bomb threats" and such, or rather, take what he says with a bucket of salt. I know for a fact that he has threatened several protesters physically himself, one a high school student. Even Randy Leonard (city commissioner) went on Lars Larson yesterday saying "the Schumachers are liars." Why do you think the police and city commissioners have had it with him? The guy is an a-hole.

Few people could skin, electrocute, or break the neck of, an animal for a fashion statement. And, to that end, the protestors have educated the public. If the complaint is that protestors have driven away customers, they have done so by telling the truth.

I suppose the conservative priest who opens his church to the homeless on a cold night needs your laxative, or the hundreds of conservatives in my community that just had a charity dinner to raise funds for the homeless need your laxative. Once more you have displayed the typical "if your not with me your against me" attitude displayed by large numbers of angry intolerant liberals. NOTE: I did not say all liberals as I am not as myopic and bigoted as you appear to be, although I still hope to find a glimmer of constraint in you, I still hope to find a part of you that allows for those with differing opinions, but I have not seen it yet.

It would seem, unless it was them being genitally electrocuted, they'd ask you for a laxative- ie, so they could give a sh!t. Conservatives and compassion are oxymoronically exclusive terms.

I just shot a garbage can raiding raccoon and threw his a** over the hill so the dogs or buzzards will get him. No more scattered garbage for him. I could cut off his tail and fly it on my truck. Funny, the six deer around him ran a few feet, came back and smelled him and kept grazing. See, I also could be eating fresh venison tonight. Evan: Don’t count on it.

It doesn't take a bleeding heart to oppose that ... just a beating one.

Shoot to kill is my motto. The dead can't testify or sue.
