2009 and they still continue to sell Dennis "Butcher" Basso stuff.

Much as I agree with you Graham, he is an odious creep etc. I am wondering whether we are actually heightening his profile by discussing him and it maybe more effective if we ignored him. I'd love him to go out of business but I think hell is more likely to freeze over, particularly as furs are be coming a fashion statement again (for shallow brainless wearers IMHO).
His coats etc still sell in the outlet shops, as well as on the shows, people happily buy them, therefore the message isn't getting through to everybody. Do the people buying them know of his activities or care, or do they satisfy their conscience (Sp?) by thinking they aren't buying real fur. You never know though, it could well be that when Basso's contract comes to an end, with the current recession, it may not be renewed.
Thousands of people don't have a comp or are not on a forum like this one so they won't know.
I know, but that is the only medium available to us, bar phoning/writing/emailing/demonstrating outide QVC. So imo we should make the most of being able to reach the people we can.
I doubt the presenters would do that though. QVC would just get more presenters to replace them.
I don't have any real fur. However I am a meat eater, leather wearer, and I have a lambs leather jacket from QVC.
I have Basso faux fur.
It doesn't make me a supporter of his other trade.
I just think we should be careful of alienating those members who enjoy his faux fur by making them feel guilty by association.
I eat some meat and I wear leather too. Personally I don't want to alienate anyone or make them feel guilty - just want people to be aware of the facts so that they can make their own decision.
