Johnny Weir Comes Out–In Fur. Welcome To His Cruel World.
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 6th, 2011 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Fur.
Johnny Weir‘s book, Welcome To My World, is set for release next week. People Magazine has published an excerpt along with photographs of the Olympic figure skater.
The book represents his official coming out but if gay vegetarian and animal rights activists see the People photo shoot, they might suggest he go back in–at least for a wardrobe change.
Weir’s love of fur, which includes wearing a rabbit-trimmed collar costume at the Olympics, is what landed him on the naughty list for 2010.
One reader at Queerty put it bluntly:
“This guy gives gays a bad name. His over the top, attention seeking antics put him up there with Snooki. On top of it all his shameless use of fur, is downright disgusting. We all know how animals are either anally electrocuted or drowned to get their fur. He is so heartless.”
You may have heard of anal electrocution to kill animals for fur, which is a common method for killing foxes. Drowning is no swimming party, as the traps designed to kill wild animals likes minks, popular for furs, may take up to 20 minutes to kill the animal while it’s being held under water.

today you want to ban furs and meat
tomorrow you will try to ban different opinion
