Are you fur real, Emma Watson???

I won’t deny I’m upset by the news that Emma Watson endorses the wearing of fur. As some of my friends know, I’m determined to have Enharmonic adapted for screen once it's ready for the book press, and by way of ‘fantasy casting’, Emma has always been my first choice to play the role of CJ.

She’s a wonderful actress, a lady, and someone I mistakenly deemed as compassionate; particularly given that she was designing a line of ‘ethical’ clothing. I’m gobsmacked as to how on earth she can devote her time to such a viable human cause, yet be so bloody ignorant when it comes to the senseless brutality involved in the fur trade.

Perhaps someone should sit her down and show her ‘Earthlings’ – a documentary exposing every aspect of animal abuse within the food, scientific, and, of course, the fashion sector.

Trust me when I tell you that once you’ve seen an animal skinned alive – the poor, defenceless creature bloodied, breathing, aware, and in agonising pain with nothing but sinew exposed – wearing or even thinking about wearing fur would repulse you. In saying that, I’ve never understood the trend anyway. Why not skin your cat and wear that, or perhaps the family dog?

It’s sickening, and in effect, my respect for Emma has fallen to the point of non-existent. So much so that I think I’ll pen a letter to her to mark my disgust. That is all – for now.

In the meantime, for those interested in seeing what really goes on behind closed doors, you can watch Earthlings right here, or head to the website to view it by clicking the link below the video.

Please be advised it’s not for the faint-hearted. It’s extremely upsetting, but it's reality, folks.

Ignorance is Bliss, so the saying goes, but I’d rather be in the know...
