...and those stats are almost always misunderstood.
a murderer is more likely to have tortured an animal, than hasn't tortured an animal.
people who have tortured an animal aren't suddenly liable to become murderers - all this stat means is that murderers are more likely to have tortured an animal than haven't. It's a standalone statistic.
It's like that dumb child abuse stat, where most child abusers were abused as a child. This then gets misinterpreted that most victims of child abuse are likely to become child abusers, when that's far from the case. Most likely leads to a fair few child abuse victims never coming forward, for fear that this widely misinterpreted 'fact' will be cast over them.
Anyway... that woman is probably very tall, and a normal fur coat just won't cut it. Not to mention what's already been said... her $xx,xxx contributes to healthy giraffes being preserved.
