    Irish Times is reporting on a PETA protest outside Urban Outfitters in Dublin.

    Posters seem to be complaining about the use of leather and wool in clothing.

    Just wondering:

    1) Why Urban Outfitters?
    2) What's so terrible about wool? Surely it's just a sheep's haircut?
    3) What's so terrible about leather? Surely the cow has already been turned into a hamburger anyway?
    4) What alternative clothing materials should we be wearing?

    If cotton and linen, is there enough tillage space in the world to clothe everyone in those materials?
    If man-made fibres, don't they all come from byproducts of the fossil fuel industry?

    Oh Lord it's so hard to be ethical.........

    PETA barely count as animal luvvies. It's a sick and terrifying organisation that probably causes more harm than good. They're also widely denounced by a lot of other animal welfare groups across the world.
