The fupp?
This afternoon.
Members of ARAN (Animal Rights Action Network) bearing effigies of dead ‘foxes’ outside Barnardos Furriers, Henry Street, Dublin. The activists are targetting consumers in an anti-fur protest.

Foxy ladies.
LICK IT!
Their puppets need some work. I have seen 5th class students do paper mâché.
I’ve seen better ways to accessorise your LBD, in fairness
Foxes Minced
Skins brought me here, who’s got a nodge?
That was not meant to go there :)
Still – it’s nice to know the reply button works
:`- (
*hugs*
Looks like a delicious monkey is ready for the bbq
Hartley the Hare had that coming.
I’m all for alternative christmas dinners. Not everyone likes turkey.
I knew this xmas pets stuff would get out of hand
Could I borrow one of those for a protest outside the Marie Stopes centre?
Just show them the coat hanger scar on your forehead instead.

There’s a furriers on Henry St?

I’m all for animal rights, but do my young kids need to see these if they are passing. Same with aborted fetus posters.
Its basically how their meat is prepared as well. Why shouldn’t they know that?
Because they are 3&4 years old.
And? TBF, I grew up on a farm, but at 4 I knew that I would be eating the beef cows out in the field before too long. I didn’t see them shot but I saw them cut up and put in the freezer from that age.
And that is why we call you people of the bog “muck savages”
Just teach your children to blank out anything they don’t like and focus only on the end product. Great stuff.
They’ll need to double-check the address. Barnardo’s is on Grafton St.
Whats the difference between someone wearing fox and someone wearing leather, wish these muppets would f**k off
Fur often comes from animals raised only for that reason. Leather is often by-product of farming.
I’ve a feeling Bejayziz wouldn’t be opposed to eating foxes.
I love foxes but I would still probably have a going at eating one. Would rather have a pet fox though
In my experience fox is pretty much inedible, especially urban fox – don’t ask
the primary use for fox is its pelt, otherwise it is pretty much cute vermin
Im intrigued…
I wouldn’t say they taste the may west, i’d give it a go though like anything
They do taste nasty. There is almost no meat, and what there is is stringy and smoky in a really unpleasant way, as if someone had burnt a tire near it.
I’ve a feeling Bejayziz wouldn’t be opposed to eating foxes.
Theres a difference though personally I wouldn’t wear either. For fur several animals have to be killed for a single garment, for example 60 minks need to be killed to make a mink coat, all killed by CO2 poisoning which is a very painfull way to go compared to a bolt to the head. It is also less effective and they made need several goes
Its a matter of scale and cruelty.
agree with everything there jess, but i presume you know how filthy the textiles industry is? from the farmers growing gm cotton, to the wage slaves who pick it, to the polluters and abusers who turn it into cotton, to the sweatshops that make it into clothing. it’d make you think fur trousers aren’t that bad..
The difference being that the cattle are killed before having their skin took off and spend their lives roaming in a fairly open land.
It’s not that hard to educate yourself before opening your mouth, not as easy as calling people muppets and telling them to f**k off of course.
Effin muppets!
Ooooooo… now there is a fur coat i’d wear … cookie monster chic.!! With a nice Elmo cap…. Cosy!
A cap from the hide of a rat?

Barbados have been in business since 1812, I don’t think this is going to stop them now. They’ve seen it all before.
“I like a shave a pussy”
I’m hungry.
I nearly tripped over a fox that came zipping out of a drive way on my walk home.
They are pretty cheeky in the suburbs, I presumed the wheelie bins woulda being a death knell for them but it looks like they are flourishing!
Cool story eh!
I joined this page on Facebook thinking I would see charming pictures of deers in the woods.
Turns out I was wrong, it’s 50% charming pictures and the rest is all about deer hunting :'(

No wonder they look annoyed… The fur is the comfortable bit.. Not much tog value in the giblets!
I’ll hav’ta wear my fur to the march on the 10th now.
Since its the season like
