Morphine Prince 106,113 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 It's not like she changed anyway, she deserves red paintIf she was educated in a more civilized manner like another user here suggested as they do in The Netherlands, it would be better. I agree that wearing fur is wrong for ethical reasons but I've found that when you approach people in an aggressive manner they are less likely to want to hear what you have to say. Plus, the real targets for this issue are the industries that actually make these products. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewStevens 5,249 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't support the use of fur in fashion but this is ridiculous and pointless. Do they think KIM KARDASHIAN gives a ****? Obviously not. They are just wasting their time cause it doesn't make any difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uo111 5,265 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I love how Kim doesn't give a **** but I also think that the fur industry is unacceptable in it's current state and I can't imagine a state in which I would support it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Maybe Kim doesn't give a **** but the story got a lot of publicity which could educate consumers How is this going to educate someone? The publicity they got is 'Activists crash Kim K. book signing'. They didn't even make a point, they went straight to call her 'disgusting human being' and that's all. People who use fur are not going to stop using fur because a bunch a activists interrupted Kim K.'s book signing to call her 'disgusting human being'. It is pointless.

HausAlly 799 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't think there is wrong with them doing this just for publicity. They are bringing attention to their cause by using a non-violent activism directed at one of the most famous human beings alive. This incident will grab headlines and bring on discussions about the ethics of wearing fur. Are there more productive ways of creating change? No doubt about it. Is this form of activism completely without value? I don't think so. It's important to shame proponents of fur, in the same way it's important to shame anti-gay legislators. Animal Rights activists throwing red paint on people who wear fur is the equvilant to Gay Rights activists glitter bombing homophobic politicians. I think it's best when any political or social movement is well rounded. For the animal rights movement to be successful I think you need loud aggressive people like this protesting narcissists who wear fur, you need philosophers like Peter Singer approaching animal rights from an intellectual standpoint, and you need legislators taking on the logistics of animal rights from a practical standpoint. There is room for all kinds of people doing what they can to make a difference. Sometimes the people giving a voice to the voiceless have annoying voices, but at least they are silent. i totally agree, its all about doing something, not everyone has the power to influence people or change legislations, but everyone can protest and speak for those that can't, I'm just glad that they didn't throw paint on her, i think that goes a bit to far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKANK 14,288 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 How is this going to educate someone? The publicity they got is 'Activists crash Kim K. book signing'.

People who use fur are not going to stop using fur because a bunch a activists interrupted Kim K.'s book signing to call her 'disgusting human being'. It is pointless. Their intention may not have been to educate, but to shame, and to draw attention to their cause. And I think they successfully did that. Non-violent protests like this are not pointless. They bring attention to issues. No one would suggest that isolated protests like this solve a problem, but they serve to bring attention to an issue. Once the issue has been brought to the forefront more serious discussions can be had.In this case it's the fur trade, but the gay community has been using tactics like this for years. Anita Bryant was pied in the face. Dozens of anti-gay law makers were glitter bombed. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in full nun-drag confronted Pope John Paul II. We are talking about about the ethics of wearing fur when we otherwise would not have been. So, they win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
