Without her explanation -- which I still have trouble associating with the piece -- I'd have assumed this as an animal rights statement, pointing to the strange ways in which we still use dead animals for fashion and decor. And despite the simplicity in this regard, it seems much more effective as such.

Regardless, I give her credit for doing something creative and passionate to express her frustrations. You know, instead of just trolling message-boards and putting other people down to feel better about herself.

My question is who cares for the dogs and dispenses the money -- particularly in cases like Gunther and Tobey, where the inheritances are passed down through multiple generations of dogs? How does one become the trustee for one of these animals?

Unlike the Expedia gag, I totally bought this. Well played, Think Geek.

I appreciate Expedia having a sense of humor, but isn't the essence of a good April Fool's joke that sliver of plausibility that makes up believe it for a short while? This seems a shoddy joke for the effort.
