She IS a hypocrite. So what i’m only 15 and have been a vegetarian for 4 years now. When you consider yourself an animal lover and go dancing around trying to show off your “love” for animals in Japan and then show the whole world that you really care, STICK WITH IT!!!!! Be an animal lover requires commitment and just coz she wants to be fashionable is no exception! Even i would love to design handbags and fancy dresses….but i don’t because- face it when you join the fashion industry, you’re going to be involved in animal slaughtering- it’s hard to avoid…..And she’s 19- if i am 15 and have a BRAIN to realise that leather is made of cow hides i am sure she can too!
I don’t wear leather belts, shoes( i quit last year), or handbags(i hate fashion). Don’t you see that she’s doing it to grab attention and more fans???
I’ve saved abandoned animals but i don’t go telling everyone about it just to make people like me!

So one word to you miss “iloveanimals just to show off and for the publicity”—–HYPOCRITE

I’m glad to see the issue being discussed intelligently from several angles. It’s only realistic to consider that there may be a variety of reasons for her actions, or that in this instance she simply was shortsighted and made a mistake…

and…

She’s only 19

We all make mistakes. Let’s give her a chance to learn from hers. And if it turns out she cares more about sea mammals than the ones on land, so be it.

@fbr – Animals raised humanely and allowed to die naturally are a different issue than “strict legislation” and “carefully controlled” environments. Go to a battery farm or an intensive farm (factory farm) and then tell me that we don’t torture animals.

Jacque, ever seen the aftermath of wolves having gotten into a sheep pen? I have. The two wolves had killed or seriously maimed every single animal in there. Not for food, but for fun. That is true torture – unlike raising animals for human consumption in a carefully controlled and strictly legislated environment.

According to Jacque:

1.”the calves were probably mistreated”
2. “I HIGHLY doubt she can say that each and every baby calf…lived a cruelty free life”
3. “REAL MEN AND WOMEN RESEARCH BEFORE THEY TYPE”

Jacque, follow your own advice.

1. “I’m not going to say that eating meat is wrong, because, well that is life.”
2. “What is wrong, is the fact that humans TORTURE their prey”
3. “when tigers and crocodiles kill their prey, its quick and relatively painless.” (Really?)

Torture, death, quick or not, that’s life. I think the real issue, as jim stated, is “whetther it is moral to cause suffering.” Do crocodiles and tigers ponder the morality of the suffering they cause? NO, because they are very, VERY hungry–starving in fact. Is there a difference between humans, tigers and crocodiles? YES. Many humans (especially those lucky enough to CHOOSE vegetarianism VS meat)aren’t starving. Oh, and humans are BRILLIANT(comparatively).

So here’s my point…

Every animal on this planet tortures and kills; directly or indirectly. As the most brilliant species on the planet,(except whales, Star Trek IV) it’s far more important to worry about the continued existence of life, death, and torture then it is to worry about the subjective morality enabled by our species gluttonous success. You want to attack Ms. Panettiere for slapping her name on a high end calf-skin bag that very few people will ever purchase? Maybe we should worry about the fact that leather bags are being sold across the world in big box stores at a fraction of their environmental cost. At least she’s spent some time trying to save some whales.

I forgot to add that ‘ Animals are here on Earth for our consumption’ is quoted from another poster.

And I didn’t mention that when tigers and crocodiles kill their prey, its quick and relatively painless.

The thing is she has called herself an Animal Rights Actvist, thats the hypocritical thing about it. I HIGHLY doubt she can say that each and every baby calf that was killed for the purpose of a stupid material possession lived a cruelty free life. As in, not in a small, cramped, smelly place. As in, the calf actually has walked on grass and been in the great outdoors. I respect her work, but she has said that she doesn’t eat meat because of her love for animals, and then to promote a leather bag where the calves were probably mistreated, that is hypocritical. I know vegetarians who do it for the health purposes, and I respect that, but, from the articles I have read about her, that has never been the reason why.
I’m not going to say that eating meat is wrong, because, well that is life. Just like its life when a tiger eats a human, or a crocodile makes a snack of a person. Food chain comming back up to bite us. What is wrong is the fact that humans TORTURE their prey. With Tigers and Crocodiles, their prey lives a free and relatively good life, ours, are hung to death, bleed to death, beaten to death, starved to death, never see the sun, never leave their cage, hung by their feet live, crammed in tiny cages with ten other animals, and many, many worse things. I dare one person to say to me that there is nothing wrong with that? To torture a living creature that feels everything we do.
‘ Animals are here on Earth for our consumption’ Animals have many purposes. Dogs, cats, and many, many other animals have done Countless things that benefited our lives and even saved our lives on many occasions. Life without them would be meaningless for me, as I would risk my own life for an animal. Look up some stuff. Real men and women research before they type.
And on a final note, as someone mentioned before, the idea of baby skin products intrigues me. I may have to market that.
