Why are fashion houses buying up crocodile farms? BBC News
Australia is synonymous with crocodiles, and crocodile farms are big business. Increasingly though, Australian farms are being bought up by high end fashion chains such as Louis Vuitton and Hermes who treasure the prized skins. In particular they are used to produce handbags, some of which can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Jon Donnison reports from Queensland.

The fashion houses really want a discreet way to dispose of the dead anorexic models.....

if it can preserve the crocodiles in the wild, i think it's okay, and if you really think about it, it's not that different from whats done to cattle, and where there is a demand there will always be a supplier, so rather this than poaching.

$40,000 - 2X$1,000 = $38,000 - expense (ballpark $5000) = $33,000 - other expense ($3000) = $30,000 profit for Louis Vuitton and Hermes and other the manufacturer... expert strategy right... and dumb pussies who buy these bags and dick head husbands who give money to buy these products.... shameful...
