Bloody Burberry: Photoshop to the Rescue?

I think we can all agree that in this day and age, there's no excuse for ~~pore~~ poor Photoshopping, but someone at Bloody Burberry seems to have missed that memo.

In what must have been a tragic Photoshop accident by the oh-so-tragic Burberry, actor Emma Watson seems to have lost one of her legs. Luckily for her, that nub can be transformed back into a leg again with a few clicks of the "undo" button.

The question I'm asking about the whole fiasco is this: Can the magic of Photoshop help the countless animals who have suffered chewed-off limbs in the horrific process of making Bloody Burberry's fur cuffs, collars, and coats?

No, I guess not.

The Fur Advocate - Fur is not biodegradable because of the chemical treatment used to stop it from rotting. Using these chemicals is also dangerous because they can cause water contamination. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has filed complaints against fur farmers for illegally generating and disposing of hazardous waste. In 2006, American mink farms raised and killed 2.86 million minks, which generated 62,920 tons of manure and nearly 1,000 tons of phosphorus, wreaking havoc on water ecosystems. Do not be misled: Farming and trapping are torture for animals, who live their entire lives in tiny wire cages that expose them to the elements or languish in traps for days before the trapper comes to kill them. You can see for yourself how these animals suffer by watching the videos at www.petatv.com/skins.html.

Many people just do not seem to get the BENIFITS of real fur over synthetics. In reality, fur is much "greener" than synthetic alternatives, in that it is natural, renewable, and even biodegradable after time, unlike synthetics which are made of petrolium based products which are more consumptive and never decompose. Fur farms are not nearly as cruel as PETA keeps making them out to be. Especially in the U.S. the major fur farms keep their animals clean and healthy as possible. Sick, unkempt animals will not only have bad quality coats, but also spread disease to one another. I personally know a fur farmer, so what I am writing is the truth. It's not that we don't respect animals by wearing fur. We do. I wear fur myself, I'm a furrier. But I do not support "cruelty" by any means and obtain my fur from reputable sources. Sure, there are merciless idiots here and there who make the rest of us look bad, but what I am trying to say is that we "fur people" are not all like that. Hopefully this perspective will give you all something different to consider.

I don't think it is Emma Watson who is at fault here, it's all Burberry for treating their animals like this. I doubt she is in any support of the matter & I think that if someone just showed her one of the horrifying videos she would understand. I doubt she knows anything about it. I second the ridiculousness about how PETA can't show their ads on television because they are "too graphic." Do they not want children to know where daddy got mommy's rabbit fur coat from? I don't understand this nonsense.. I don't get it. Even if they REALLY do need the fur, they couldn't just put them to sleep, or something less harmful? Does it pleasure them treating the animals like that? I could never, ever, EVER hurt an animal in the ways I have seen in these videos. Its almost unrealistic.. I just don't want to believe it. All I have to ask is.. Why?

I love every animal on the planet earth. animals were here way before we were even here they should not be treated this way! Its humane. what if we all treated them just like they treated the beautiful animals the kill. God does not like what they are doing to his children. yas they are his children! I feel like putting them in cages with no water and no proper shelter. I want to teach them a lesson. Its just not right god will pay them back. Those animals did nothing to deserve this!!!! NOTHING!!!!!! We should put them into the animals situation. they wouldnt like stuff being put up their butts would they no. I have a precious puppy and she is my everything. She recently had beautiful puppies. I treat her with the uttermost respact i give her all my love. I just want to take those suffering animals and love them care for them feed them water them and to just be there for them.I want to. put the humans who is doing this to them in cages so they can see what it is like to be in their situation. Am I right or am Iwrong
