PETA Bashes Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for $16,900 Fur Bag, Calls Them ‘Trollsens’

I think everyone should settle on the fact of if people want to wear fur, leather, plastic, denim or whatever.  Also I really don't care if someone is a vegetarian or a vegan, that has nothing to do with the way I live.  In what society do we live that we are being morally judged on how we dress.
When I wear fur, I prefer to purchase vintage, but as a consumer that is my choice, I would never tell someone who never wants to wear fur to wear it.
There are some double standards when it comes to racing and I cannot stand to hear people talking about their politically correct eating, vegetarian, non leather wearing when they are standing in leather shoes at the races (not knowing one end of the horse from another) and practically wearing a bird on their head.

Vegetarians and Vegans I applaud you for your standards, although they are yours and not all of society.  I choose to eat meat, wear leather and vintage fur.  I do not stand accountable for others.

Peta, I respect what you do, but please try and keep a hold on what you are doing.  I find Peta sometimes to  be a little unrealistic and more about making headlines with celebrities.

They really need a CHILL PILL,

Here is a recent article from Fashionista.com.  Click Here.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen may have won the prestigious CFDA award for womenswear designers of the year, but PETA isn’t impressed. The Olsens’ line, The Row, has released a new fur patchwork bag, retailing for $16,900 (and touted by Rachel Zoe as a bag to have for pre-fall), and PETA is pissed–and not because of that eye-popping price.

According to E! (via TooFab), the animal rights group released the following statement:

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. 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.

Trollsen Twin? Turns out that this is a long-time pet (haha) name that PETA has had for the Olsens since as far back as 2007. There’s even an entire website devoted to “Hairy-Kate and Trashley Trollsen.” You can dress the terrifying twins up in dead animals and even watch a (we have to admit, sorta clever) video called “Full House of Horrors.” Some naked guy visits the Tanner family and warns them about Michelle’s future–the requisite horrifying animal-killing footage follows, as well as a montage of the the Olsens “and their shrunken bodies wrapped in fur.”

Has PETA’s bashing gone too far or should the 
Trollsens
 Olsens change their fur lovin’ ways?

In closing.  I am really glad that someone has enough time to sit around and talk about Mary Kate and Ashley so much.  I think they must just really be jealous that they were not those famous twins on that American Sit Com.

Honestly, who really cares what others are wearing.  They feel good about it, what is your problem??

Sheep Marking

Another day in paradise and I see some ninnies on TV standing in body paint protesting about the marking of sheep.
Yes it looks horrible, yes there are people that eat meat, but if you are going to argue about humanity of sheep, "Get your facts straight!".
Have a clue that if we took away our wool and lamb industry, we would be looking at our country being in a worse state than it is.  I have come from generations on wool farmers in this country and I am sorry I am not a greenie.  Someone running around naked or topless saying save the sheep does not exactly do much for me, that is not to mention what I think of their intelligence.
Sheep marking is one of the most humane things we can do for a sheep.  Obviously, the people have no education on what it is all about.  Do you think that people do this to a sheep for the fun of it?  Do you think it is easy to round up sheep and get them onto the wheel to do this?  No, it is allot of time and necessary.
I am not going into the debate about live export etc, this is about marking.
Marking is done so sheep do not become 'Flyblown' when a sheep is flyblown, the most humane thing to do is to euthanize it immediately.   Once a sheep is flyblown there is no turning back.  Basically being flyblown is like being eaten alive by maggots from the inside out.  Terribly painful and a horrid way to die.  Marking sheep is a preventative way of making sure the sheep are kept well.  It is usually performed while they are being wormed and have identity tags on their ears.
Pink about 10 years ago had to make an apology to the sheep and wool industry, due to her lack of knowledge about this, she was given information by Peta (People for the ethical treatment of animals) and started to lobby against the wool industry and then was given the correct information.  Pink decided to stand united with the wool/sheep industry as she had not been given all the facts to make an informed decision.

If you want to run around naked or topless, I really don't think anyone cares, in face it would give us a good laugh, but please don't say your doing it for the sheep.  The only 'DAG' will be you!
