{{examples}}

* Although it's only mentioned in a throwaway joke, Shiho of ''[[Zettai Karen Children]]'', who's a [[Psychic Powers|psychometer who can read the memories and feelings of objects she touches]], mentions that she finds the fear and suffering of whatever meat she's eating to be the best spice.

* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[Dragonball Z Abridged]]'', where Princess Snake, voiced like [[Metal Gear Solid|that other Snake]], comments how she loves her fur coat, especially since she killed all the animals for it herself. With her bare hands of course.

 

== Comic Books ==

 

== Film ==

* The 1995 film ''The Last Supper'' was about a group of liberal college students inviting over [[Strawman Political|conservative classmates]] to gradually murder them. One of those was Jason Alexander, credited as "The Anti-Environmentalist."

== Literature ==

* Named for Cruella de Vil, the villain of ''[[The Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'' (the basis for the Disney movie ''[[101 Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]''). In the book, she drowns any kittens her cat bears, and she only keeps her cat alive for the money the cat is worth (pedigree, but the kittens are fathered by alley cats).

* Esme Squalor, a [[Fashion Victim Villain]] from ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'', has a fur coat specified to be made from animals killed in particularly nasty ways (although she probably didn't create it herself).

* The [[Neil Gaiman]] short story "Sunbird" follows a society of epicureans that pursues only the rarest meals. They don't seem to delight in suffering, but do take pride in the fact that they may be eating something right off the face of the earth. {{spoiler|Trying to sample phoenix doesn't go as they expect...}}

 

* The two stars of ''[[Absolutely Fabulous]]'' did a video where they portrayed women who wear fur as outright bloodthirsty.

* Mimi from ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' probably doesn't like animal suffering per se, but in one episode she insists that any cosmetic product she uses has to be "strong enough to blind a rabbit" when somebody challenges the use of an animal-testing brand.

 

== Music ==

* [[Barenaked Ladies]] avterted this in "If I Had $1000000", where they sing about how if they had a million dollars, they'd buy a fur coat—but not a ''real'' fur coat, that's cruel. Of course, they also say they would also buy a green dress, but wouldn't buy a ''real'' green dress because [[Running Gag|that's cruel]].

 

== Tabletop Games ==

* Caym, demon prince of animals, and his servants in ''[[In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas|In Nomine Satanis Magna Veritas]]''. He's absent from the American version ''[[In Nomine]]''.

 

== Web Comics ==

* Alexa from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20180114204936/http://shapequest.net/ Shape Quest]'', who is a scientist for the military.

* Inverted in ''[[Bob the Angry Flower]]'', somewhat inevitably when a story focuses on an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] sentient plant. In his more moderate days Bob has discovered Vegans to be psychotic haters of all plantkind.

 

== Western Animation ==

* Gotcha Grabmore, a recurring villain on ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''. For some reason she talked like Zsa Zsa Gabor.

* ''[[Captain Planet]]'' should be all over this trope like a [[Hurricane of Puns]], but it only rarely covers this. Looten Plunder had a couple episodes, like poaching elephants.
