Awful uggly things. http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy61/2moss/uggs2.jpg

They're fake "Ugg Australia" boots. The real Ugg Australia boots or any well made Ugg boots (Ugg boots are a type of sheepskin boot, not a brand) will not sag like that.

The ones in the picture are not even real sheepskin boots.

What is the point?

The title was about the boots being ugly.
The linked content was about inhumane treatment of animals.
Then there was some comment on religion and eating lamb.

I addressed two of those points.

Not only are they ugly, but their production is disgusting and inexcusably cruel. Its bad enough lamb is on the Christian menu, but this is really beyond tolerance. Watch what you put on your feet ladies.

Warning, video in the article is nauseating and hard to watch.

Leather is made from horses and cows, and so are leather bags, jackets, furniture..guess what? us Christians eat those too.
God made them tasty for us....mmmmmm

Nope because I'm on my phone, which is why I didn't comment on that aspect of the post.

I fail to see how it being an Easter tradition has anything to do with a questionable choice of footwear.

So you have no idea what the main point of the thread is?

I don't care how they look or any of the religious **** that is happening rather bizarrely here. That's fairly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. I also have no problem eating lamb.

Are you just trying to repeat what I said? I'm pretty sure I already said that I commented about the parts I read/saw. No need to repeat that.

What has eating lamb in Ireland got to do with either veal or production methods for UGGs?

. oh, I see! You’re volunteering to go out to get some meat. Not necessary! We have meat here............We have meat here in ze building! (Does cow horns with fingers and makes mooing noises).

Because of the treatment of animals.

Veal in unavailable in Ireland. Sometimes hard to get in the US too, mostly see it in Italian restaurants. It's politically incorrect meat. Yet the irish farmers ship off calves to the continent for slaughter in terrible conditions. But lamb is still a popular dish and the traditional Christian meal at Easter despite the deplorable conditions pre salughter and the methods of slaughter.

And yet ugh boots are everywhere, and the methods for skinning and breeding is disgusting and cruel. Watch the video in the article, if you can stomach it.

I watched the video. Nowhere did I question any points you made about it.

You do realise that people of all denominations, and none, eat lamb all year round, don't you? I'm not sure why you're so fixated on Christians and Easter tbh.

Pretty sure I've had veal before in Ireland as well as the US, not quite sure how it'd be considered politically incorrect, it sure as hell wasn't throwing racist abuse my way.

Believe it or not where I grew up rabbit was the traditional easter meal, never had lamb before I came to Ireland. Not particularly popular outside of Ireland and the UK at all.

Agree with this. I know many traditional Navajo shepherds who raise sheep for the mutton. It was a staple in their diet.

You can't beat a nice bit of mutton. More flavour than lamb, but nearly impossible to get these days.

Veal is fairly widely available these days. I'm fairly sure tescos sell it. It's certainly not a "politically incorrect" meat.

You can get veal relatively easily in Ireland.

This thread has me really confused and now I want to make a nice moroccan lamb and cous cous. Hmm.

And is this for lambs for meat consumption in Ireland or are such lambs stunned before slaugter here?

I am sure someone in either the new Sheep forum under farming or the Food & Dhrink forum could source you some.

We have had our own lambs killed, and I think an older type lamb can't really be beaten on flavour say March born and killed around December/January or so.

I can agree with the OP that Uggs are ugly in both an aesthetic and an ethical sense.

I love lamb stew though.

Ugg boots- disgusting
