It's ridiculous that people who wear fur have red paint thrown at them, fox hunting is illegal in the UK but it is ok to go into any designer shop and buy reptilian skin bags. I just don't get it. I am not overboard about animal rights but have long felt that unless the creature is cute and fluffy, people just don't care. Lobsters, for example are highly intelligent and it has been proved that they have the capacity to fall in love and have memories not only of events but feelings. They do NOT die quickly when you drop them in the boiling water and for every one you catch, it's mate will die without it. Carrefour wouldn't be allowed to keep sheep or chickens tied up on display but it's ok for lobsters. One day I will buy them and release them back. If animals are being bred to benefit humanity in some way thats one thing, but for handbags? They should be ashamed.
