No matter what you do somebody is going to get offended by it. I was walking near the University campus a while back wearing my homemade dress sporran and a couple kids started giving me a load of garbage about the fur sporran. I just told em it was fake fur (which it is. I'm not wasting real fur on a first attempt). This didn't seem to register with them as they just got more vehement because it LOOKED like fur. I tried walking away but they followed ranting away. I finally stopped, turned and read them the riot act about being hypocrits and fools. That has been my only encounter with the lunatic fringe, most simply don't pay any attention. The seal hunt is only an issue because seals look "cute". You never see those clowns griping about killing rats or snakes. It's a fake issue unless the species is truely endangered. That comes from the Walt Disney view of nature, Bambi and Thumper sitting in the forest having tea and conversing. They have no clue of the way nature really works.
Northern California seems to be the headquarters for Veganism and PETA members. Right now they seem to more interested in going after high-profile targets like cosmetics firms that do animal testing and celebrities who wear real fur coats.
Some Vegans and PETA folks are also targeting schools to try to get kids away from eating meat. They pose it as a health issue, but their politics are really about the rights of animals.
I believe in animal rights. Animals should have the right to eat PETA members.
There's waaay more to the environmentalist issue than just "animal rights." Do some serious investigating into the core leadership of some of these groups, and follow the money trails; you may be suprised.
