Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you put to make such a excellent informative website. I have read several good stuff here.

Animal lovers are not all against eating meat. We simply wish for the animals to be treated humanely and, if they have to be killed, then killed quickly and painlessly. I love Big N Rich, but seeing John wearing that full-length fur coat was not only a shock to my sensibilities (and I know I'll get slammed for that), but also seems embarrassingly snobbish of him. I am not a member of PETA, nor do I agree with their tactics of violence and spouting off. But I have loved animals all my life and if I had the money to buy a full-length fur coat, I would surely find better uses for it.

How about the Inuit? Are they to stop making their clothes and coats and boots and mitts from caribou? Do you know that Caribou is the warmest hide? They kill the animal, eat it and use their hide for shelter.....what's wrong with that? Next thing you won't let me cut a tree down to build my home???

Whether its Rich's view on fur or homosexuality, Trace Adkins thoughts on domestic policy, or Dixie Chix opinion on George W. Can singers/celebreties come across as dumb much of the time? YES. Can they come across as educated and knowledgeable at times? YES. I care what people I know and care for have to say on many matters, but they are a part of my environment and of course we are all influenced by those around us in one way or another, but that isn't the case here. I know that society in general has decided that if one is famous, then that person's opinion will usually be heard on a larger scale and in turn become more valuable than the average joe, but that doesn't make it relevant I just do not get why anyone cares what these folks have to say about non-music/industry issues?

They're delicious!" Personally, I've never had a problem with hunting. I'm not a vegetarian, so it would be hypocritical of me to be against hunting. I came very close to doing it myself with my cousins in Alabama, until we got to the part where they said I had to spray myself with deer pee. "I'm out" was my immediate response to that. Fur coats have always seemed gratuitous to me, but I'm not a flashy person as it is. I put very little value on materialism. I wait until thirty dollar shoes are on sale for fifteen bucks and wear that one pair the entire year. When I see a fur coat, I don't think "How horrible!" so much as "Wow, think of what all that money could have been used for!" I’ve always preferred “I’m an animal lover. They’re delicious!”

Who even knows if Rich's fur coat came from China, though. It could just be a stunt by PETA to get more press.
