[This has relevance.]

I'm pretty sure that this is a very clever fake :D
I only know U.S. law pretty well, and selling any portion of your body here is insanely illegal. That would include selling human leather products.

I'm not too sure, but considering the degenerate nature of the "occupation," there might also be something like this covered in the Geneva Convention. I know there's a section that covers destruction of body or health. The wording isn't all that specific, but it could also mean even if the "victim" agrees. If it does apply, it's actually considered a war crime, lol.

I hope it is fake. Maybe, but that chakra talk makes them sound crazy legit. Would have been great if it was a PETA site.

I just discovered that the image that site uses is ripped off wikipedia, or vice versa... i'm inclined to think it may be a joke now..
Specifically http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leathertools.jpg off the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather page....

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Guys...

We have a Buffalo Bill Dwarf on our hands. Execute him immediately before another Dwarf become Hannibal!

I really wish it was possible to have more fine-grained control over tasks, like being able to specify general or exact items (most frequent offender: a specific stone type, or of any metal that's available if we don't care).
Items contrary to dwarven ethics (as defined by the raws, not the ethics of df players!) should be possible to order but rarely made when something generic is asked for. If something creepy is made, it should have a chance of giving non-deviant dwarves a negative thought depending on how strongly discouraged this is... and perhaps erase/weaken the taboo for the active civ if it's fantastically made, we're talking about dwarves here.

For shame. Worrying about the skills of a baron. Of a NOBLE. The power of MAGMA compels you destroy this foul, interloping invader.

With a Magma powered Lignite bathroom. And by powered I mean ignited.

I have a Baron obsessed with slabs, to the point of irritation. I've taken to building them all in his room.

My most recent mayor was great, he loved bolts and kept mandating they be made and/or demanding they not be traded.. Seeing as I keep regularly creating bolts for restocking my military (I usually run my basic military with two melee units and one ranged unit) these were easy as pie to take care of.

Is it wrong that reading through this I can only thing of the Baron as either Urist McHannibal or Urist McMarquis de Sade?

So glad my baron keeps banning the export of catapult parts or demanding I make them.  Shame catapults still suck.

My duke tends to mandate rock coffers. Power to him. Mayor on the other hand. Well, let's hope he doesn't get re-elected or else I might be using some more exquisite leather myself.
