My first boycott was against Burlington coat factory after 20/20 did a whole hidden cam from China animal cruelty to here in the states walking into stores and testing the fur to see if it was really rabbit (it was canine).
I'm not watching the video. I came to the conclusion already I try as much as realistically possible to avoid items from China. We spend more, but feel moe fulfilled and have less waste for the most part. I don't like plastic junk anyways or lead based paint etc furthermore I believe in sustaining local economy and in the least the American economy.
We falter at animal treatment as well I can no longer fully support PETA because of their extremest vegan, pro- petroleum based good vs sustainable natural materials from animals: but I ill enjoy my cage free organic non genetically altered grain fed antibiotic free local farm fresh chicken from the co-op etc. I may pay more vs foster farms but hey I sleep better at night (okay not really note the time on this posting).
Any who I hope someday we'll all be responsible care takers of the planet and all living creatures, I eat meat I see no need to be cruel in my carnivorous nature though, I wear leather not fur-if you do please wear the coat of an animal you eat and let's use it all wasting not. Maybe someday the local buy everything big box will practice these ideas with shelves of made to last America manufactured goods...if we don't buy it they won't sell it...off my goat soap box and off to sleep. |
