look, I will not discuss this with you.
If you think there is no moral problem with using living animals as fashion accessory and let them die slow and painfully for that, ok your opinion, surf along, dont sign the petition.
But don't waste our time here...
The same goes for you; don't waste my time with these pointless petitions about problems that don't matter. We generally have a hierarchy of problems in which we'd like to solve, usually ranging from people problems to everything else. Now, considering the major people problems of today, that being world poverty, hunger, and a plethora of cannibal states that refuse to stop empire building, I ask you why, of all the things we could be devoting our time to, you feel this, this one problem, which has nothing to do with anything that will ever matter to me or you or the people who agree that this is not wrong, supersedes everything else.
Consider this: business A makes living animals in keychains. Group of people B buy these keychains. You would assume, if B really thought this mattered, they would not buy the keychains, and yet they do, which means: they don't care. The business and the people are perfectly content with this product; it is, however, apparently such a big problem, that people who have nothing to do with the purchasers of these items must assert their disliking for these keychains. There is a simple, effective method for ending this, if we truly agree that this is wrong and should not happen: we would not buy them. In other words, the business would not exist if there was a real problem.
It is completely in the burden of you, the person who has presented this petition, to explain why you believe this petition matters. Otherwise, you have no business posting this anywhere; this is hardly anything more than moral laziness: "I don't want to actually be virtuous, so I'll just sign this petition and make myself feel better over not doing anything to help anyone."
If you're really worried about the animals, why don't you go for bigger targets? Are you aware there are bigger targets? Are you aware there are greater problems? Do you care?
I'll ask again, and I expect a fully detailed reasoning as to why you believe this issue matters:
what is the problem? You must certainly accept all other forms of animal abuse if this is the tip-top of your worries.
