PETA being stupid as usual

[LordNagetiere]

It seems PETA sent a letter to anthrocon (an email actually, they care, but don't care enough for the cost of a stamp) asking Anthrocon to ensure no real fur is used in the process of making any of the fursuits there... as if they were all owned by the convention.

Kage's response is short, and fairly good at diffusing the non-problem, and garners a lot of cocksucking from the FA forumites.

I mean, we all realize that virtually no fursuits can incorporate real fur, yet alone do. I'm kind of wondering what, if anything prompted this in the firstplace other than the use of the word 'fur' in the word 'fursuit'. Still I think the idea of the PETA idiots showing up at the convention hotel like they do at Barnum and Bailey would be just such a welcome touch.

Did they honestly expect someone to phone up each and every fursuiter to ensure none are wearing anything except faux fur?

This is PETA we're talking about here -- it's not hard to make them look like a bunch of fucking idiots.

I do hope they show up to AnthroCon, though.  Between the Alan Panda drama (and the paranoia of people looking over their shoulders for the cops) and the Taryn AIDS Party, it's just be icing on the dramacake.

It's funny cuz PETA is scraping the bottom of the barrel.  They earn their attention and money by releasing crazy public statements against large public institutions.  You know, KFC, Ben & Jerry's, whoever.  Why would they bother AC, has everyone else blocked their email?

Edit: Particularly when they're doing THIS

They mailed him a humane fly trap?!

I'd mail them back the fly.
