They want us naked, shivering in the dark, and gnawing on synthetic locusts.

PETA wins round one: Canada Goose succumbs to the Wokes, and will stop using coyote fur trim.
In a Thursday statement, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said it will suspend its international campaigns against Canada Goose over its use of fur — but signaled it isn’t through with the company yet.
“After years of eye-catching protests, hard-hitting exposés, celebrity actions, and legal battles, as the company has finally conceded and will stop using fur – sparing sensitive, intelligent, coyotes from being caught and killed in barbaric steel traps,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement.
“PETA will now re-engage the company to push for an end to its use of feathers, which geese and ducks continue to suffer for,” she added.
PETA and its sheeple are also against wool, leather and silk, and is succeeding in pressuring companies to stop selling them.
It also wants to ban meat, egg, and dairy products, which is where those synthetic — don’ wanna hurt no real bugs — locusts come in.
Okay, no feathers, no wool, no fur, what can we use to protect us from nature’s insults? Not petroleum products, according to the mother of all green outdoor clothing retailers, Patagonia, though even it admits that — ahem — they’re still working on finding something to replace it.
It is remarkably hard to reduce the environmental impact associated with our technical gear, especially our shells. Unlike other products we make, a shell is a lifesaving piece of equipment that absolutely must perform in the world’s worst weather. Unfortunately, to meet that standard of functionality we rely on fossil fuels. While Patagonia continually searches for alternative materials and processes, our environmental ambitions still outstrip current shell technology.
Not to be outdone, that urban fashion house that masquerades as an outdoor company, North Face, is pushing to end the fossil fuel industry while peddling a product line that’s entirely dependent on the same stuff. It even won an award for its consumption!
Do these horrible misanthropes really want us all shivering in the dark? We report, you decide. There’s a national movement afoot to ban the use of natural gas for heating homes and businesses. Bans have already been enacted in WA, CA, and NYC, and the Green New Eel folx have bills pending in Congress to impose that ban nationwide. No natural gas, no propane, no heating oil, no coal, no wood. Fortunately, we’ll still have plenty of hot air and unicorn farts to sustain us.
