I just HATE it when people kill animals to make there stupid fur coats!!!I think it's so cruel to animals!!!! Ah!!!! I just want to kill them!!! It's like me killing them and using them as part of me. Who here agrees with me,Fur Coats Are Wrong!!!!!

Animals Are Not Ours To Wear

i have nothing against using, say, deer or elk as long as the "hunter" uses all of the animal he hunts (i have nothing against hunting as it helps to keep the animals from getting over populated and starving, since we have pretty much screwed up the natural order of things) but to raise mink or anything for the sole purpose of making fur anything i think is wrong......an i won't wear any of that stuff myself (altho a friends dad had made me some rabbit fur lined gloves yrs ago; they raised rabbits for meat and he used/sold the furs, but that's along the same lines as the hunter)

What is the difference in raising a chinchilla for fur, and raising a cow for leather?

I would never wear fur, myself. However, food, shelter, and clothing are necessities of the human condition.

We need food and shelter of course but, I just don't like to see people wear fur.

when you use the cow hide and eat the meat you are utilizing the majority of the animal......but how many people eat the chinchilla/mink/stoat/whatever?....all that gets used is the fur.....as i said in my previous post...i have no problem w/ using furs/hides if the rest of the animal is used as well....as much as possible, that is....even our ancestors didn't waste the animal.....

I don't wear fur either nor would I NEVER but, If you have forgotten we are species to. Just like species they live off other species. I personally will never wear fur and I agree with you .

Why can't everyone be a vegetarian?

"As He made the earth to satisfy the hunger of the animal, He made the animal to satisfy the hunger of all those made in his image."

Animals are made to satisfy the human food-wise so we would not go hungry. But that doesn't mean that animals are here to skin just for their fur. It is cruel just to use them as coats, but it isn't cruel to use them as food nessessarily.

because man, just like canines, felines, and all the other carnivores out there are meant to be omnivores and it's not healthy to eat just veggies......just as it's not healthy to eat just meat......the body doesn't get the nutrients it needs eating just one or the other....

and, ilovemychihuahua, i believe it's just as cruel to kill and eat only the meat as it is to kill and use only the fur.....the whole animal should be utilized as much as possible.....

Thank God it's fake! I'd never wear real fur. I don't know why people have to when there are great synthetics out there.

Good piont. To the people in the world who love fur coats like Cruela DeVille: pick out the fakes! They are probably more stable than real ones anyway.

JFI...the leather used in shoes, boots, etc is usually from the cattle slaughtered for consumption.....w/ the exception, of course, those made from more expensive (sometimes illegal) leathers.....this is where the WHOLE animal is being used.....most slaughter houses even have people that use the bone, hooves, etc....

Snowshoe, i agree that there are more, shall we say, important cruelty issues that should be addressed.....not only amongst our animals, both domestic and wild, but w/ our people, too.....if man doesn't change his ways we will be our own undoing and things will cease to be......
