Rupert wrong on fur trade

I BELIEVE Rupert Smythe should go back to living in primal times if he still thinks the same way our ancestors did.

Surely we are educated enough to realise killing animals for their pelts is wrong.

We now have fake fur, which is just as warm. Celebrities should be setting a good example, not spending their wealth on the slaughter of innocent animals just so they can make themselves look good.

I believe Rachel Bradman is quite correct when she says people seem to have very short memories.

There should be adverts on the television reminding people of the important aspects of life and help them to keep a grip on reality.

Fashion should not equal death. It is grotesque and unfeeling of us as human beings.

We are supposed to be the ones who can think and feel so why don't we?
