“Charlene Rosen, owner of Mr. Charles Shop, in State College, Pa., says anti-fur activists smashed her glass doors. She says another attack left red paint on her shop windows and sidewalk.”
E-mail to a college newspaper claims the Animal Liberation Front is responsible. But Rosen says the vandals can’t tell real fur from fake. She has a denim jacket in her shop window with a phony fur collar.
She says she doesn’t carry real fur products. Rosen says ‘If they’re stupid enough not to know real from fake, we’ve got a real problem in our society.’
Problem? What problem?
She’s a witch. Burn her. Buuuurn her!
You know what frustrates me about stories like this? Whack jobs like that give peaceful, non-violent, non-vandalizing vegetarians like me a bad name. Exactly HOW does it help animals to break someone’s store windows and pour paint on the stuff? I’m sure it goes a long way towards convincing people to change their ways. Yeah. Right.
Somebody needs to give that person a swift lesson in non-violent protest.
Reminds me of the old saying:
“People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it’s safer to pick on helpless old rich women than murderous drunken biker gangs.”
Toren, since September 11, more and more women are carrying. I say we outfit some of the Second Amendment Sisters in mink and send them out on per diem.
Oh, and Amy, these clowns are intolerant morons. Don’t worry too much about being tarred with the same brush. It doesn’t really matter what these folks believe in, so long as they are stupid and thoughtless. They have no more to do with you than David Duke has to do with me (see, even though on the internet nobody knows you’re a dog, I am in real life a white male, sort of like Duke. But not much).
And was it Steven Wright who said “I’m not a vegetarian because I love animals… I’m a vegetarian because I really, really hate plants.”
