Chinese Fur farms.. inethical? may be not...
Watching a video on the Peta website showed me just how controlling the western world is when it comes to fashion. Peta is a western organisation and they seem to like to pick on organisations from all over the world over the killing of animals for their fur. Though we in the western world do take some level of offence to seeing an animal skinned half alive (chinese fur farms video clip) in china they are brought up with a whole different bunch of ethics... so who is to say what is ethical in fashion and what is not? Yes people are killing innocent animals for fashion but in china these people probably haven't recieved a proper education, most likely perceieve the skinning of a half live animal as a normal every day practice at work and don't have the same ethics as us westerners. Though i may feel it is wrong to kill a half alive animal whose to say that some of the things i perceive as normal practices may be inethical???

iteresting, the fluidity of ethics is very interesting indeed. Recently a group of Danish students were derided because they killed and ate a cat live on webcam. How is that different from killing and eating a cow?
i don't believe it to be different at all but did the students do that as a stunt for attention or were they just hungry for cat? we are killing and eating cow to survive its been a way of life. its not because it right or wrong but is life and people need to eat..
