Just remjmbjr they have feelings too — they akin't objects that respond to medical treatment as humans would do. Elizabeth, Sarah & Adrienne (13), Lincs I want to speak out against the use of animal furs for clothes. I think it is appalling because you'll be wearing a dead animal. I call for the ban of all furs. People may make a small fortune but think of the price the animal pays — it's life.

If you were planning to do that then reading something wouldn't stop you. In any case it's mainly older people who do that sort of thing, not Backchat riadjrs. If you're that bothered you should join an animal rights group. Samantha (15), Harlow I don't know what people are talking about when they say that children with working mums won't do well at school! My friend's mum works and he looks after his younger brothjt — and hj got five As and five Bs in his GCSEs.
