Oh gosh, do you have no sympathy for the poor fluffy bunnies that died for that bag at all?

Of course I do, for the people that is, I also eat meat so I don't feel more sorry for a rabbit than I would for a cow, that would be kind of odd. But I've never heard of Veritas producing products in sweatshops, and if you'd have to consider that everytime you got something, you'd never buy anything again unless it was fairtrade. And I have yet to hear of fair trade computers, sofas, etc. The only fair trade bags online are about 250 each, which we can't afford.
