Those killed for their fur typically first endure a bleak life inside a tiny, filthy wire cage before being electrocuted, drowned, or even skinned alive. Or they may be out minding their business and get caught in horrific bone-crushing steel-jaw traps often languishing for days before eventually dying of hunger, thirst, or blood loss. And while we appreciate that these are fictional characters, draping them in what looks to be a replica of a dead animal sends the message that wearing fur is acceptable when, in fact, it has no more place in 2017 than it would in the year 40,000 Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you Yours faithfully, PEORE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS (PETA OUNDATION-achatble company ed by garon home Tailor 25 London Wall, London EC2ZY SAS Registered in England and Wale as choity number 1056453 ompany mber 3135903 Yvonne Taylor Senior Manager of Corporate Projects PETA Foundation Aliates: PETA Asia PETA India PETA Fronce PETA Australia PETA Germany PETA Netherlands

ATTENTION CITIZEN:
Multiple third-party individuals have reported one or more of your recent actions as being inappropriate. Once a citizen is notified in such a manner, said citizen is reviewed by members of the Adeptus Arbites in accordance to the Book of Judgement. Upon review, we have determined that the following actions are in violation of the Book of Judgement:
1.) Insulting the Adeptus Astartes.
2.) Being an uppity asshole.

Your imperial right of existence has received one judgement, which will expire upon your deathbed. Additional violation may result in disabling of your legs or the permanent termination of your life. Please note that killing yourself will not resolve the judgement on your existence, as you will be reassembled as a semi-sentient servitor until your tithe has been paid to the Imperium. If you wish to form an appeal to the Adeptus Arbites as to counter-act your judgement, please inform us as to why you believe the judgement to be wrongful in 20 words or less. We appreciate your understand.
