The ugly truth behind the wool industry.
This is partly why I CHOOSE to knit and overall craft without using wool or any animal fur/body part. The other part is because I don’t believe animals are products or things to be exploited and put through such misery. They are living beings that deserve the same respect and treatment as I would want. Whether large farm or small, it is exploitation in my eyes. Let’s not get into breeding and the issues with that in all animal farming…
Please choose cruelty-free: plant, recycled, synthetic fibers. For a list of cruelty-free fibers, click here.
You know what’s disgusting that I see alot of now a days?
Homeless mothers begging for money with their children. Like ok, you wanna ask people for money? Cool. But please don’t bring your child, you would never get sympathy from me for that. That’s so degrading, keep that shit away from me, I’m too positive for that.
LOL WAT
Yeah cause what they should do is pay for a baby sitter.
