Animal cruelty in the name of fashion

Along with bloody ShopNBC, there are some fashion designers who have distinguished themselves with their greed and cruelty. They will surely have spots in the Hall of Shame. Donna Karan has decided that making money is more important than keeping its promise to not use fur; it uses slaughtered rabbits. Carolina Herrera kills ewes and their unborn lambs, who die kicking and suffocating in their dying mother's womb, and uses their skins in the name of fashion. The bloody butcher of Madison Avenue, Dennis Basso, caters to a morally bankrupt clientele who get off on wearing the skins of murdered animals (I wonder how the greedy butchers get all that blood out?) Custo Barcelona and Zac Posen have made a commitment to animal suffering. I hope they get plenty of negative attention at Fashion Week!

Sarah Anderson, fur whore

Sarah Anderson of ShopNBC is a beautiful woman, but by all indications she has a cold, black heart. Or else, she is simply ignorant. It may be that she doesn't know about the horrors of the fur farms from which Cedric gets his animal skins. Sarah may not understand about genital and anal electrocution rods, drowning, insecticide injections directly into a fur-bearing animal's heart, or raccoon dogs being smashed to the ground as part of a torturous death. If she does know anything about how fur is obtained, then we should all say a prayer for her soul.

At any rate, she looked like a hooker tonight on ShopNBC, the network that is notorious for reneging on its fur-free pledge. Her show tonight was pure trash, and it was sad to see the duping of the gullible viewing audience.

Oh gawd she is calling the animal skins "cute" and "adorable." The irony.

Bloody ShopNBC murders animals

ShopNBC is once again selling its bloody fur from China, profiting on people's ignorance. How much do you know about truth in advertising when it comes to fur? Do you know that China is the world's leading exporter of fur, and do you know that most of it comes from dogs and cats that have been skinned alive for their pelts? Do you know where the murderous Cedric's Luxe collection "comes from"?

For God's sake, even Simon Cowell speaks out against fur. ShopNBC, however, reneged on its fur-free pledge and hasn't looked back, duping middle America into charging their "fur" on a credit card with an APR that is pushing 30%! Cruelty on top of cruelty!
Martha Stewart has renounced fur. So have Marc Bouwer, Todd Oldham, Jay McCarroll, Charlize Theron, Elizabeth Berkley, Christy Turlington, Eva Mendes, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Dennis Rodman, and the list goes on and on and is growing. One day soon, it's going to look pretty damn stupid to be caught dead wearing fur. If you wear fur, I am fairly certain that you do not know how it was "obtained." Don't you owe it to yourself to make an informed decision?

Greedy merchants, ignorant consumers

Well, it's July 27, and I saw a fur "stole" in a window on E. 57th Street today. The death merchants are gearing up for another season of greed. They trade is built on blood money.

The Horrors of the Fur Industry

This disturbing image below graphically illustrates the cruelty with which fur is obtained. I think it has impact, because many people are unaware of the treatment of fur-bearing animals--particularly in China. This photo shows the poor animal being killed by electrocution rods, which generally are inserted anally or genitally as well as orally. This torture is the price of a fur coat. Oh, and China has no qualms about using dogs and cats--warehouses full of dog and cat fur have been shown on national network television. Much of this fur is mislabeled, and sent to the United States. China exports torture and is the world's leading producer of fur. It kills 40 million animals for their fur every year.

Charla Rines of ShopNBC

Last weekend, Charla Rines was with Manuela and saying something about wanting "not to look like a hag," or some such. Note: she was wearing fur.

Today, she is on showing The Find handbags--made of calf hair, excessive amounts of leather, and finished with mink oil.

It's too disgusting.

ShopNBC: Cruelty and Deceit

Yes, the dreadful fur situation in NYC is the focus of this blog. However, ShopNBC (which has strong connections to Gotham), will be a well-chronicled topic because of this network's shameless cruelty and deceipt. The high-end shopping network earned this attention by reneging on its fur-free promise. Under the leadership of CEO William Lansing, ShopNBC now happily sells fur from China, no less. All in the name of greed, cruelty, and deceit! Get ready to be exposed, ShopNBC!

Mr. Lansing, you are about to get your 15 minutes of fame!
ShopNBC must be feeling the heat. The network mostly presents its "Cedric's Luxe Collection" on weekdays, and not during prime-time weekend viewing hours. Truly, the network's gutlessness is vile.
