WINGS

3.3

out of 5
Recently my family and I went to NYC. We saw the hugest fur protest located right outside of the largest Fur Store in the city. If I wasn't with my mom I would of grabbed a sign and joined right along with them. There were huge lines going in and out of that store and people with head to toe fur walked back and forth the protest. I thought that it was sooo wrong! What the nerve of those cruel people. I don't think its up to me how people live their lives I mean they would live that way anyways. And If someone told us how to live our lives we would think the same. Thats kinda what human rights are for. In that situation those people dressed in fur had the RIGHT to dress that way. And those protesters had that SAME right to speak their mind about how they felt. Whichever way you look at it Human Rights kinda go both ways. (The people against it and the people for it.) And the people like me are for Human Rights. Peace! Elyssah(A concerned 14 yr. old)

I don't see how murdering an animal is a right. Murder for fashion...

to my understanding, ur rights end where another person's begins. this means that the fur protesters were allowed to express their opinions as long as they didnt interfear with the rights of the people in the store. this is where sollictitation comes into play. Personally i would like to hear ur full position on whether we should be able to wear fur or not.
