My clever response.

A girl on the-n.com’s message boards was on a rant on how pre-teens have been calling themselves hippies. I thought  I share my response:

Well I've never heard anyone call themselves a hippie. You really can't be a hippie. You can dress like one but you can't make sighs to "stop the war" because the war was over 30 years ago. The style really is tailored hippie pre-teens who haven't learned what hippies really are don't understand that hippies were a movement against their friends dying in in the war, being drafted, losing your identity. Hippies weren't trying to be cool they were trying to make a statement. So in summary in 2009 you can't be a hippie.

End of the Canadian Seal Slaughter 09

Email from Peta:
The 2009 Canadian seal slaughter has officially ended, and we're happy to tell you that this year, about three-fourths of the seals who were scheduled to be bludgeoned or shot to death during the annual war on seals were spared. More than 300,000 of these gentle creatures were scheduled to die during the blood bath on the ice, but more than 200,000 seals did not suffer the cruel fate that Canada had intended for them. They did not have to feel the pain of having their skull bashed in or feel what it's like to have a hook stuck through their eye, cheek, or mouth—just so that their fur could be stolen for "fashion."

This dramatic decline in the number of seals who were killed during the slaughter is largely because the price of seal fur has fallen over the years as the disgust over the slaughter increases. The European Union and the U.S. have banned seal products, and world leaders have spoken out against the massacre. Demonstrations from London to Hamburg and Los Angeles to Toronto have made the headlines, and kind people like you all over the world have sent a strong, united message that the seal bloodbath must end.

We will be fighting on for these defenseless babies until the Canadian government backs down and bans the slaughter, and we need your help.

We've just launched an awesome new site, OlympicShame2010.com, which is a spoof of the Vancouver Olympic site, to increase global pressure on the Canadian government to end the bloody seal slaughter once and for all. Be sure to check out our Canadian maple syrup boycott (read more here) as well as photos of demonstrations from around the world, a video, and lots of ways to help end the slaughter. Seriously, you'll love the site!

Keep fighting with us, and let's win this battle for the mothers and babies on the ice!

So how DO we get wool? Ugg's use sheep...

"Sheep used for their wool have their tails cut off and are castrated when they are just babies (without any painkillers). People who shear the wool are paid by volume, not by the hour, which means that they work roughly and fast. This often leaves the sheep with open gashes that can become infected.

In Australia—where a lot of the world’s wool originates—farmers use gardening shears to cut huge chunks of skin and flesh from lambs’ backsides (also without any painkillers) in a cruel practice called “mulesing.” And after all that, when the sheep are no longer producing enough wool, they are crammed onto export ships to be sent to the Middle East, where they are cruelly slaughtered."

I am going to (try) stop wearing my tan uggs.  The knitted one's aren't cruelty realted ( as far as I've checked). I defintley will not buy anything from Ugg anymore. If your reading this and intend buying anything from Uggs I'm not gonna stop you I think that's the job of the dead sheeps souls.
