Fucking hell some people are so fucking stupid and so blocked of with their fucking moral absolutes.
Theres a page on fb called 'Urban Fox Defenders'. It came about because of a small attack on a child by an urban fox and as a result all the troll papers and the trolls went on a campaign of 'murder foxes'.
The have been posting a lot of stuff about furs recently because some celebrities are wearing them or something, so I asked a question to the group along the lines of - 'where do you stand in relation to farmed animal skins?'. To the extent of, If an animal is being farmed for meat, is it not better to use everything available from the animal than wasting it. Such as leather or deer skins in scandinavia. Which is different from an animal being hunted for its skin, killed in an inhumane manor and being wasted apart from its skin.
The responce i got was this.
'Sam we are not going to discuss this matter any further. The fact is, Sam, that the fur trade is an evil and sick trade, which makes vast amounts of money for greedy people by taking the lives of animals so that vain and ugly people can wear them. We have discussed this matter tonight because we are a page that defends foxes and many of our members were appalled to see several dead ones around the neck of a personality on TV. Why are you on this page Sam?
Does it seem to you like they completely missed the point of what I was asking? I replied, i was fair and re-iterated my point and make the fair suggestion that you can't have such a strong moral absolute on an industry that has existed for centuries and with the example of leather - is all over the place - sofas, shoes, handbags, wallets.
This morning i got an email from facebook telling me i had been reported for bullying, spam and racism by different people and they were investigating it. I also had some lovely pms about how i am a murderer.
I didnt even endorse anything, i asked a question.
