I don’t know if I believe this or not. I have never heard of PETA putting humans before animals, ever.

So the products of unethically or inhumanely treated animals are okay if they go to the homeless?

Yes! Now they can either throw red paint on homeless ladies, or I can wear my fur coat downtown and people will think I’m homeless. LOL

The best fur collars are made of wolverine - like Dennis Miller once said, “the mink is the biggest pri*k in the forest”.
