Firstly thanks so much for your help on my last question. This one is similar and while I know I need to make my own choices, I really need guidance from fellow vegie buddies on these issues so thank-you in advance for your help.
My question is this - I like shopping at a certain gothic shop (the only one in my city which sells certain brands of clothing) which also stocks vegan hair dye and make-up which doesn't test on animals (yay!). However, the store has dead bats and spiders on the walls, some taxidermed animals (but also a human foot in a jar and a coffin so it is clear they seem to be fascinated with death, not specific animal crulety). These are only displays, not for sale by the business. I just wanted your opinions on what you would do, as I want to buy the hair dye and some of the clothing but I do feel uncomfortable and sad around the dead animals - were they already dead when stuffed or killed for the purpose?
My second question is related to a movie I saw the other night - Saw 3. I don't know now why I wanted to see it but if anyone else has would know of a scene I found really disturbing with dead pigs on hooks. I turned so I wouldn't see but my friend thought it was over and said I could look and I saw more. I know this is the reality of the cruelty towards animals but I don't know how to get it out of my head. It just has made me really sad and I don't know what to do.
Sorry this is so long and thanks for taking the time to help me. I appreciate it so much
