It's only the CUTE animals!

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 14, 2009, 8:45 PM
:iconrurouna: :heart: :iconlonemoon89:

A little quote from a comedian who did a segment on Animal Rights. And I have to say, as of late, things have been getting under my skin.

Yes, I am into Taxidermy and working in my own way to learn the process (as of now I am broke and can not afford to buy the supplies). Yes I own pelts, of many different varieties. Yes I own a soft mounted fox. YES I LOVE ANIMALS!

Here's a little bit about me so you all know ~

I was born and raised a dog trainer, and have grown up with animals bigger then myself for my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals and my heart aches when I see an animal in pain or mistreated. I will fight for everything I can to help an animal in need, one time being actually pulling over on the side of the road and nearly taking home a deer that had been dazed from being hit by a car. I have taken snapping turtles off the road and set them aside so they wouldn't get hit, I have put myself in harms way for animals, and they ARE Thankful.

But what I hate are people. People are cruel, insensitive, and so uncaring. As of late a lot of my friends who do own pelts, hides, furs, ect... have been getting bashed/reported/ and numerous other things. But what really gets to me, is it's only the CUTE animals that people care about. IE Foxes, coyotes, wolves and other fluffies. However, if it's a snake, or a possum, or a bird. "Oh wow that's pretty" . Now I saw an image earlier (I am not featuring, nor naming the artist) whom had taken a photograph with at least five dead birds hanging from a tree branch by thread. It was a very beautiful image, but still... they are dead birds. No one had a problem, and one person even commented that since there are so many birds in the world, that they didn't feel bad. Yet, if it is an animal that the person really doesn't care about, then it's just hunkydory! So... People are SO hypocritical.

That AND Taxidermy is so frowned upon, even if it's something thats retaining the animals natural form and not just for sheer pleasure of killing something, yet Pornography and Graphic and Gory 'art' is accepted here. I don't know how Porn is accepted more over Taxidermy... is it that it makes the person feel more satisfied? Ugh it's disgusting...

I don't want to rant, and I don't want to rave, but this is just... building up inside of me and I gotta let it out before I explode. I AM going to be posting more pictures of my pelts. I AM going to get more Taxidermy done, and I AM going to learn. I also am going in for a major of Zoology, and going to be working with animals... So if you say that I must hate animals since I have pelts... F-You!

:3 Sorry for being rude, but I'm sick of it. And I'm sure others are too.

Thank you very much for the fav, I appreciate it! ^_^

And I'm happy to see someone else who loves fur! For a long time I thought everyone else hated them. I've always wanted to get my own, but I'm afraid some crazy PETA fanatic would come along and throw red paint on the fur.
