  • Is that made of real python skin? :mad::mad::mad:
    Surely people don't need to enter competitions like this one.
    I'm quite saddened to see that over 300 people seem to have entered it from this site.

    :eek: I have just been on the site to look and yes it is. I couldn't take this into my home, Our poor royal python would never come near me again. :eek: My very ethical daughter wouldn't speak to me either. You choose the bag, then the adornment, then the 'leather' etc.
    The snake skin suits Athena a lot better then the bag.

    If you have a problem with the post, you should report it to [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL]. If they delete it, it's not acceptable to the site, if they don't, then perhaps you need to look at other sites more suitable to your particalr opinion.

    I think it's just the same as every other competition where by we have a choice to enter or not. Just because it doesn't suit my ethics doesn't mean everyone should be banned. I wear leather shoes and eat meat, my DD refuses both but we still respect each others choices. We have a snake (and dogs) I would not buy anything made from either. My choice.

    I'm not the one complaining about it, so why are you quoting me :confused:
    Al Mac, I didn't say you were complaining I was just surprised that you suggested PoppyTia should report it to abuse if she had a problem with it. I was saying (not to you) every competition is valid even if it doesn't agree with our own personal ethics - that doesn't mean it should be reported as abuse.

  • I agree with jeanmd. I wouldn't report it as it's not illegal, just distasteful to me. I was merely saying I was suprised that 300+ people had entered the comp.
