10. ANIMALS CAN LANGUISH IN TRAPS FOR DAYS. UP TO 1 OUT OF EVERY 4 TRAPPED ANIMALS ESCAPES BY CHEWING OFF HIS OR HER OWN FEET, ONLY TO DIE LATER FROM BLOOD LOSS, FEVER, PREDATION.

15. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have repeatedly contacted Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce Knowles and Madonna sending them information packs, photos, videos and complaints about their fur obsessions. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO STOP WEARING IT.

16. LOPEZ HAS BEEN REPETEADLY ASKED BY VARIOUS ANIMAL ORGANIZATIONS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO EXCLUDE REAL FUR FROM HER FASHION LINE AND STOP WEARING IT. THROUGH THE YEARS SHE HAS WORN THE SKINS OF EVERY POSSIBLE ANIMAL YOU CAN IMAGINE, ALTHOUGH SHE HAS BEEN SENT PHOTOS AND VIDEO FOOTAGE. SHE HAS BEEN IGNORING THE CHARITIES ON PURPOSE, AND HAS SHOWN AN IMPRESSIVE DISREGARD FOR THE PUBLIC. latinalista.blogspot.com/2005/09/jlos-latest-fur-battle-shows-disregard.html.

17. She is currently considered to be the most notorious fur-wearer in the show-biz, along with Beyonce Knowles. When asked what she thought about animal-right organizations protesting, she replied I dont think about it at all PETA has even released a video game where you gather points by saving animals from her hands: www.furisdead.com/feat- monsterinfur.asp

18. Beyonce was sent videos, polite letters and PETA even published a personal full-page open letter to her in Billboard magazine. Finally, two members won an EBay auction to have dinner with her. So they met her, along with her sister and mother (who is the dreadful inspiration and cause for her tacky fur-line)

19. The charity members asked her : Beyoncé, many of your fans would like to know why you dont care about how minks, foxes, and chinchillas are gassed, strangled, and electrocuted for vanity and if you might have it in your heart to recognize that fur is not only cheap and tacky but also horribly cruel? The members were asked to leave by security. Knowles, of course, insists on wearing fur, despite the amazing volume of hate mail her record company received.

41. I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me. Letters from the Earth, 1907 The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creatures that cannot. What Is Man, 1906 - "Of all the creatures ever made he (man) is the most detestable. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain." MARK TWAIN

42. People must have renounced, it seems to me, all natural intelligence to dare to advance that animals are but animated machines.... It appears to me, besides, that [such people] can never have observed with attention the character of animals, not to have distinguished among them the different voices of need, of suffering, of joy, of pain, of love, of anger, and of all their affections. It would be very strange that they should express so well what they could not feel. Voltaire, Traité sur la toleranc

43. If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth - beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals - would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals? Attributed to George Bernard Shaw

44. The question is not, "Can they reason?" nor, "Can they talk?" but rather, "Can they suffer? Jeremy Bentham

45. "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us *universe*, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty Albert Einstein

46. The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men. Alice Walker

48. DEATH is not fashionable DEATH is not luxurious DEATH is not profitable
