Lay off the cooking sherry, Nigella!

What was British celebrity chef, Nigella Lawson, thinking when she said she would proudly wear fur if she killed it herself?

In a live interview on BBC’s The One Show, Nigella actually admitted that she would very happily wear bear fur, if she could kill the beast herself.

And not only that, but she would in fact, wear it proudly as a trophy.

It disgusts me to think people in the public-eye can make such callous remarks and not be reprimanded for it.

Undoubtedly, she has received loads of negative media coverage in the past week.

However, the fact of the matter is, it is still media coverage even if it is bad.

Could it have been a publicity stunt? I honestly don’t know.

Fur trade=Inhumane

Some will criticise her, I suppose.

On the other hand though, others may condone her comments and think that atleast she is honest enough to admit how she really feels about wearing fur.

Watching videos on how fur is made is just heart-wrenching.

To see the cruel conditions in which fox’s, bears and other fur-bearing animals are trapped and the way they are treated by fur-farmers is unthinkable.

How people can even consider wearing fur is beyond me. It is not a fashion statement. Heartless and cruel is what it is, not to mention inhumane.

The fur trade needs to end. Using the skin of innocent, defenceless animals is not something to be proud of. People who glorify the use of fur, serioulsy need to get their heads examined.
