Cruella to Animals: Difference between revisions

This trope is not really [[Truth in Television]]. Sadists tend to hurt animals directly, and tend to move on to hurting people. People who wear fur or eat meat are not doing so for sadistic reasons. Most animal rights activists likely don't believe this is true either, as they bank on people's compassion in many of their campaigns -- not that that [[The War On Straw|stops them invoking this trope]] ''in'' said campaigns.

 

 

Compare [[Animal Wrongs Group]] and [[Fur and Loathing]] (a common fictional view on fur coats), [[Enemy to All Living Things]], [[Exotic Entree]].

== Literature ==

 

* 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 Glove of Darth Vader]]'' is all over this. Trioculus takes a break from pursuing our heroes to hunt animals.

* ''[[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.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]''

** Burns in the episode where he makes recycling evil. By using plastic soda rings as fishing nets.

** Even Krusty isn't above this. One episode has him don a coat made from a panda, boots made from its cubs, and mittens made from monkey heads.
