The Cult of the Mukluk

MuklukMuch to our distress, big fugly boots seem to be taking over the world. Now that every chav is wearing Uggs, it‘s time for the celebs to go one up on them. These are Mukluks, or as we like to call them, ‘bunny cull boots‘. They’re made with real rabbit fur, you see. Mopsy, Flopsy and Cottontail all died so Kate Moss could spend $395 on looking ridiculous. We’re currently taking bets on how long it will be before someone wears them with a bikini in LA. Paris Hilton, come on down…

Mukluks are sold out in the US, but Glamour Magazine has found out where to buy them in the UK. Be prepared to join a waiting list.

Lol, Google Ads have come up with things about Peter Rabbit!

Real fur is horrible. Ew.

What is wrong with everyone? The poor animals! Note to celebs: It suits the rabbits better, stop being cruel!

Posted by: Abbey | December 18, 2004 6:35 PM

It doesn't suit the rabbits better! If you don't like them, don't wear them and don't buy them. But leave the rest of us alone. Kate Moss: they look great on you! And PS: the ones she is wearing are from rabbits that were cloned. What's your stand on that issue?!

where can i buy these mukluk boots any websits that sell?

Posted by: janice | December 28, 2004 8:54 PM

These boots have been made by the Native Canadians so that they could survive the cold winters here. They originally were given as presents that were a gift of love because of the extremely long time that they take to make.

The Native Canadians use every aspect of the animal including meat bones and fur (they are not wasteful unlike everything else in our society)

So in response to the synical comments about mukluks I would say the trend is supporting native canadians (which I entirely approve of), however, if you are worried about buyign into a wasteful culture please do not buy mukluks that are mass produced by names such as chip and pepper that are creating factories in the US.


For more info e-mail me at shekata@hotmail.com (I have access to native canadian mukluk makers in my area)

Maybe if the girls who had such strong opinions on the killing of rabbits,spent a bit more of that energy on researching the native canadian way of life,you will see that Tara is right.It supports the people who make them and there families.Most of what they make dreamcaters ,mukluks,clothing,bedding ect is made from animals.And as Tara said they dont waste anything.They are one with nature and very spiritual people.

That is all well and good for the native canadians but do you really think that they are using every aspect of the Rabbit to make these mass produced monstrocities? I highly doubt they give a crap about what happens to the Rabbit - just all the cash that lands in their pockets. I also doubt that many of the wearers are aware of where the idea comes from. So if you'll excuse me, Ill carry on disliking them with a passion and leave them to the Native Canadians , to whom they apparently belong.

Why leave fur wearers alone? Well b/c its not right. If you knew half of the things what happens to fur bearing animals you probably wouldn't think that way. As far as Canada they're standard for killing foxes for fur is to anally electrocute foxes which can take up to several minutes to die. They kindly passed there tradition on to america. So yeah celebrites are really stylish wearing their fur SMOKESCREEN promoting death which promotes money. Don't believe me? Check it out for urself at furisdead.com

confession: i donate to PETA, but i just bought some mukluks.

Posted by: char | April 7, 2006 12:42 AM

Bunnies arent killed for mucks, they are raised for food in south america and the skins are just surplus imported to make the mucks. Bet they taste good....yum!

Posted by: John McLuck | August 14, 2006 3:29 PM

I agree with Kayle.
You nasty arseholes that buy this type of shit, wouldn't you want the REST of the animal?
Fuck off and burn in hell

Posted by: O | September 25, 2006 12:49 AM

Muklucks are fantastic! the most comfortable thing I have ever worn. Bunnies are killed for food - the fur is a by product, just like the leather shoes you all probably wear!

I live in California and grew up wearing mukluks. Got a pair every christmas. Wore them out every year from wearing them so much. The majority of the places that make muks use rabbits raised for food. I think it would be very interesting if "killer" decided to bash in someones skull only to find they were imitation fur (they make good imo now). Spend the rest of your days in prison as a GF to some guy named Bubba. LOL I buy mine online and usually from Canada, however, not all Canadians are living off the land and overly spiritual. I get mine from an old native canadian lady and the family hunts and use everything from that source. So the story goes anyway. Mine are definitely handmade. You can tell, that[s for sure. All my stitching and beadwork is clearly hand done. They are beautiful thing to look at and great to wear. Toasty warm. Shortys or talls. Love da muks.

Hi, I just bought not one, but 3 pairs of mukluks. I have a friend from Canada, and the natives of Canada make these boots as a profession, and for themselves to keep warm because it snows SO MUCH in Canada. I proudly support these Aboriginals and Native Canadians. Not only are rabbits FAR from becoming extinct, but they are almost overpopulated. I don't know how many people that are against mukluks or fur have taken history, but native american indians used animals for food, clothing, and shelter. It has been going on for centuries, thats what people do. So if you are against it, just don't buy them! To those that want to find them for a deal, sheepskinandthings.com sells mukluks and has free shipping!
