Dead Animals as pets?

More like carpets on their backs. Seems like the status of a fur has trickled its way down to the glamored up wanna-Be's. I wished I had a bucket of pigs blood to stain their fake furs with. Fur once stood for wealth, now with faux-fur, and fur being made out of the same materials used for some carpets; it's no wonder the essence of owning a fur has become derogatory. The manner by which I've seen fur being handled and referred to as, is hilarious to me. For this season faux-fur has blessed many runways, and has found it's way into Urban Outfitters and H&M. Not only is faux being sold in companies suh as UO and H&M, but they're in the Givenchy boutiques, Christian Dior's fall 2008's couture line as well as many others.
Are we being environmental friendly, or have we just become more cynical by knowing the price of everything and the value of none? Has society's influence been re-placed on a pedestal for the lost ones to look up to and try to mimic?
