PETA demands toy figurines stop wearing fur

%^&* ME!

These people really are so utterly useless and stupid they can find literally nothing else to do but complain about things.

PETA mocked online for demanding Games Worskshop remove plastic ‘fur pelts’ from tiny Warhammer figures

ANIMAL rights group Peta was ridiculed online today after demanding Games Workshop remove “fur pelts” from its miniature plastic Warhammer figures.

It claimed clothing the futuristic warriors in animals skins “sends the message that fur is acceptable”.

But fans told the campaign group to “get a grip”, adding: “It’s only plastic”.

Peta wrote to Games Workshop boss Kevin Rountree asking him to ban the “fur garments” on the figures – used for fantasy games involving bone-crushing, bloodthirsty killers waging battle 37,983 years in the future.

Mimi Bekhechi, the group’s director of international programmes, said: “Even though Warhammer characters are fictional, draping them in what looks like a replica of a dead animal sends the message that wearing fur is acceptable – when, in fact, it has no more place in 2017 than it would in the year 40,000.”

This is the "fur" we're talking about...

Somewhere out there someone actually takes PETA seriously
They must live a sad and lonely existence.

Someone should ask Peta why is leather ok if fur is bad.

Sitting on their leather chairs with leather skirts-gstrings-purses-dresses-pants and handbags pontificating on the evils of fur, what a bunch of hypocrites.

Because they 'make' leather at the shoe store, right?

Just like they 'make' meat at the supermarket where no animals are killed :lol:

Most of the nufties wouldn't know what a single thing they own is made out of and how much of it is animal.
