Vegetarian Star

Animal activist and vegetarian Brigitte Bardot has never been hesitant to express her opinions about the fur industry.

And during a recent interview when she was asked what she thought about women who wore fur, Bardot responded, “The women who carry fur these days are idiots. Wild animals are bred in small cages where they go crazy because they cannot lead any kind of natural lives. They are imprisoned in concentrated breeding farms. Minks are gassed, foxes are electrocuted… this complete industry is cruel, barbaric and absolutely useless.”

Point taken.

If you’re the compassionate and intelligent type, you’re obviously anti real fur and would probably love to know what stores and companies sell the real deal.

When making your next fashion decisions, refer to the Humane Society of the United State’s list of fur free designers and retailers.

Abercrombie & Fitch, for example, stated in an email in 2007 that all of its furs were fake.

And Ed Hardy even went so far as to state, “As someone who cares about animals, I am deeply offended by and opposed to the inherent cruelty of animal fur.”

So guess that means Jon Gosselin‘s favorite clothing line is safe.

Take a look at the list, carry it in your pocket when making your business decisions and never worry about Brigitte calling you an idiot.

First he played the role of dog dumper, now Jon Gosselin‘s been spotted using the controversial horse-carriage attraction to impress his lady friend Hailey Glassman.

After PETA got word of Jon riding the wild horses, they sent him a letter reminding him of the dangers involved with such an industry, not to mention the cruelties of the tourist attraction to the horses.

“Horse-drawn carriages cause countless traffic accidents that injure both horses and people, and veterinarians have shown that the horses contract lung disease from working every day in city traffic with their noses near exhaust-spewing tailpipes. The damage to horses’ lungs is comparable to what heavy smokers experience. Horses are forced to pull carriages in all weather extremes, and many of them go lame from constantly walking on hard pavement (their hooves were designed for grass and dirt). When they grow too old, tired, or ill to continue pulling heavy loads, many worn-out horses are slaughtered and turned into dog food or feed for carnivores in zoos or are shipped overseas for human consumption.”

While we’re on the subject of breed dogs, it breaks our heart to learn that Jon Gosselin is sending his German Shepherd dogs back to the breeder, blaming it on the fact that Kate Gosselin won’t take care of them when he’s not around.

Cause Jon never has time to care for his dogs while partying  it up with bikini girls at the pool.

There are two things wrong with this picture, the obvious being Nala and Shoka came from a breeder to begin with.

But for douchebag, Jon to just shirk his pet owner responsibilities and blame it on the ex?

We’re just not buying it.

What’s worse, Jon made a statement earlier to People.com that indicated the dogs suffered more punishment than having to look at Jon grab his crotch all day long.

“Those kids beat them up, climb on them, pull their tails, bite at them, drag them around and everything you can imagine not to do to an animal, they’ve done.”

Jon later said the statement was taken out of context.

Uh-huh.

Suppose we’ll get a statement later saying it was in the contract for the dogs to return to the breeder.
