PHOTO: "We'd rather go naked than wear fur"

[Bluebear]

PETA bared all on the Las Vegas strip today in protest against Burberry and its refusal to stop selling fur from farms where the animals are kept in horrible conditions and then killed in the most inhumane ways.

1. I'd rather you did too.

But I'm just a dirty old man.

:rofl:

[Kutjara]

2. Now that's a campaign I can get behind.

And in front of. And between. :hide:

[lvx35]

5. LOL. nt

[flvegan]

3. Hmmm..a PETA thread...

intriguing.

[TomInTib]

4. I would donate to a local campaign.

And I would more than gladly let those poor women stay at my house.

[hootinholler]

12. I think I did...

A dollar at a time :evilgrin:

-Hoot

[scrinmaster]

6. No pics from any other angles?

Or without the sign?

Please?

[CGowen]

11. the sign is completely unnecessary. n/t

[wellst0nev0ter]

7. While I May Disagree With Peta And Most Of What They Stand For

The women simply do not disappoint :)

8. The drama of a false choice fallacy

Ok, then. How about you put on something made from cotton? Or synthetics?

:eyes:

And who wants to bet that the sandals they are wearing are made from leather? What, the skin of dead animals is perfectly fine as long as the hair has been removed?

[ben_meyers]

9. They were wearing sandals?

I hadn't noticed!

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. And I was wondering where they got those *cute* Original Barbie shoes!

[K8-EEE]

13. Hey they make very cute vegan shoes these days

I'd be surprised if the Peta gals wore leather...but even if they did leather is not fur, fur especially chinchilla is really, really cruel. I think it's ugly too.

[TechBear_Seattle]

29. I'm gay; I notice such things

Especially when worn by naked women, as it gives me someplace to park my eyes. :hi:

[druidity33]

15. in some ways

Leather from cows, pigs, goats and other farm animals is different because they are grown for their meat. Their leather is a BY-PRODUCT of the meat industry. Fur on the other hand is all about fur. The meat if used at all is secondary.

I don't know how different that really makes it. But i think it's worth mentioning...

[Hell Hath No Fury]

23. Most people...

who don't wear fur also don't wear leather. There are plenty of shoes -- including nice "fuck-me pumps" -- that are make of other materials. I am willing to bet those gals are wearing them.

Payless Shoes is great for leather free footwear -- I have gotten amazingly fun/sexy shoes there.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

46. actually most people i know DONT wear fur and do wear leather

especially if you consider other countries. most indians for instance, do not wear fur, but do wear leather shoes.

[catgirl]

32. Why do you assume they're wearing leather?

Syntheteic leather shoes are plentiful. You sound like my republican mother.

[TechBear_Seattle]

33. My response was in regards to publicity stunts in general

Look at the responses to this thread: not one was along the lines of, "Hmm, maybe they have a point." In addition, I am inclined to think they were hired for this stunt; I stretches my credulity that an animal rights group could find three drop-dead gorgeous women willing to bare it all (or give the appearance thereof) in public from among the activist core of their membership. As such, they are likely all that conscientious about what they are wearing as much as who.

[catgirl]

34. Nah, they weren't hired

come on, Pamela Anderson, Christy Turlington, and many more drop dead gorgeous
famous people have done it. I think the majority of americans love animals. PETA can
find hundreds are of beautiful women that will volunteer for this. And I agree with other
poaters here that they need to start putting some men in the campaign, it's just not fair!

[IronLionZion]

14. Yes!!! Got any more pics?

I wish I was there, you know to support the cause and all. We need more protests like this. :evilgrin:

[lectrobyte]

24. here's one.

[Coexist]

27. here's my hubby's fave

[KG]

16. this thread is useless without pics!

oops!

i mean, more pics! :hi:

[derby378]

17. 9 out of 10 Duers would rather I wear fur than go naked

Trust me on this one. Brad Pitt I ain't.

:rofl:

[Blackhatjack]

18. Are They Connected To The "WE'D RATHER YOU GO NAKED THAN WEAR FUR" Group? LOL

Not sure if their goals are the same. LOL

[yodermon]

19. wow, they were here in charlotte last week

no pic though, sorry.

[Blackhatjack]

20. Why Charlotte? (Just wondering....) n/t

[Pastiche423]

35. Because Charlotte is so RED?

:shrug:

[yodermon]

40. lol

Charlotte (Mecklenburg County) actually voted for Kerry in '04 (by a slim margin, but still).
I think peta was there bcz there's Burberry's in one of the malls.

[Pastiche423]

42. Yeah, I know the county

My dad was a county commissioner there in the 60's. Kerry did squeak by in 2004, but it's still a RED area.

[yodermon]

38. There's a Burberry's in Charlotte

in the oh-so-swanky Southpark Mall. http://www.simon.com/mall/directory.aspx?ID=788

[verse18]

21. Why is it never well-toned young men getting naked for PETA?

It's not fair. :(

[IronLionZion]

25. be careful what you wish for

I'm toned with some muscle but when I'm naked it still looks like I'm wearing fur. If you know what I mean. ;-)

[Lasher]

26. LOL!

I don't go naked because I would just get laughed at.

[blondeatlast]

36. I LIKE that kind of fur. As they say, this POST is useless w/o pics...

:evilgrin:

[IronLionZion]

44. And I like women like you.

Maybe I should move to Phoenix. :evilgrin:

[blondeatlast]

47. You'll have to negotiate with Mr. B (also a furry fellow!), but he does travel a lot...

Double :evilgrin:

[aikoaiko]

22. They are not naked. not by my definintion at least.

No dedication. geeeeeeeeesh.

[guitar man]

28. my favorite

Charlotte Ross :loveya:

[Blackhatjack]

30. Wonder what that guy with the camera standing behind them is doing? LOL

[ronnykmarshall]

31. Those shoes are FABULOUS!

[mmonk]

37. .

[mudesi]

39. Works for me! (nm)

[Fierce]

41. Yay! More supporting animal rights through naked women!

Because objectifying women is the only possible way to get our point across!!!!!!

Fuck off, PETA.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

48. brilliant!!!

:thumbsup:

[Greeby]

43. New Rule: You can't call it a naked protest if you're covered up

As someone who goes to nudist camps I think I'm qualified to say, if you're gonna protest naked, actually BE naked, this sort of thing doesn't count

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. strangely enough this choice has never come up in my life: i am generally clothed and w.out fur

melodrama much :eyes:
