Pretty in Mink

I'm not the sort of person that often points out calendars full of pictures of young ladies, but this rather provocative one is really going to irritate vegetarians and that has to be a good thing.

I've never seen the real fuss about fur. Yes, it's probably not the nicest way to treat an animal, and it's not necessary, but as is true of almost all activities relating to animals, I fail to see why it makes it to the top of the canon of sins above, say, battery farming (the same applies to hunting of course, which is at least old-fashioned class warfare masquerading as conscience). So good on this lot - it's only a shame we couldn't do one in Britain.

As far as I can see, the institute that does it is largely mad, but the point remains sound.

Is it just a coincidence that under the last photo there is an advert with the header "BigLots", which is all-too-easily misread as "bigots"?

Thought not.

I do hope, for your sake, that you're not seeking inspiration for Mrs Garrood's Christmas present from this site.
