Fur.

a little haphazard
As most of you who are educated enough to know, some methods of obtaining fur are far from humane, especially in certain areas of China. The animals are beaten or thrown to the floor, then as they regain consciousness are skinned alive in agony. They remain alive for anything from 10 minutes to an hour afterwards. These animals include cats, dogs, raccoon dogs, rabbits, and foxes. I don't recommend anyone watches the videos scattered around online since most of you are probably under 18.

But what I want to know is if you would you wear fur? Does fur represent too much cruelty for you to ever wear it? Would you judge someone who wears fur? Is it much different from having a leather couch? You don't know the source of that leather.

I'm interested in your opinions. My friend for example is not bothered by the source as long as it looks good and 'keeps her warm'.
 
Your friend is a bad nut, it seems.

I can't understand why anyone would be attracted to the concept of wearing another animal's skin. I'm not just repulsed on moral and ethical grounds, but for the fact that fur itself (as a part of clothing) just looks awful on most things. I wouldn't really judge people for wearing fur (since, for the most part, it's probably faux), but I'd be hatin' on anyone who wears real fur.

Oh, and I understand that the fur industry is a vital source of income for people in certain countries, but I could never accept it based on the inhumanity of it all.
 
Nope I would never wear fur. I hate the fact that it has been taken off an animal that hasn't done anything wrong. That's like taking the skin off us and putting it on animals to keep them warm.
 
No. I've always hated how people still wears fur like that.

And after i saw how people actually DO when skinning Raccoon Dogs, i'm extremely disgusted by the very thought. I saw a video of it once. It was probably the worst thing i've ever seen..
 
Apparently there are two types of winter coats: One made with thin, uncomfortable material that's unpleasant to touch, and coats made out of fur. And believe me when I say this: unless it's synthetic, I would never wear cat/dog/tanuki/rabbit/fox/etc. fur on my body, and I'd rather wear the uncomfortable material than a dead animal.
 
I personally hate fur on human whear, myself i can say canada and alaska are hunting for wolves because they blame us for the lack and exctinction of the Caribou, it is in our instincts to hunt for food, not to hunt for fun and fur.When we the wolves are extinct they will finally realize what they have done when it already is too late.

Wait a minute

is this a fakepost

please, for the love of god, tell me this is a fakepost
 
I don't really agree with wearing of fur because we now have better materials for making clothes out of, it's no longer a necessity to kill/debilitate the animals.
 
I don't wear fur, but not out of some kind of morality against animal cruelty.

Shiz just don't look good on me.
 
To be honest, I'm not sure why you actually have to kill an animal for fur. Can't you just shave it off? ...Then again, I guess a shaved animal would freeze to death without its fur.

Bibarel worshiping furry does not approve of this post!
 
I would never wear fur, even if the animal who had it died in a peacefull way, still Nope,
I hate it if people kill animals just for the fur, thats why i also hate the people who kill the seals
 
Never. I would never wear animal fur. That is so cruel, to kill animals for clothing.

I don't even like faux fur. It reminds me of real fur.
 
Keeping warm in winter is very easy(much easier than keeping cool in summer), so their is no real justification for wearing fur.

Aside form that it really doesn't look good at all, anyone who wears it I assume to be a trophy wife/gold digger. Or a pimp O.o
 
I'm not a fan of skinning animals for fur, especially when faux fur does just as much of a good job now. It's saddening to know that people deliberately harm innocent animals just so a few can prance around in some coat. Especially considering most of this would be done in inhumane ways. Saying that, I'm not bothered at all if others wear it, after all it's their choice. It does, however, make you think less of them.
 
Unless my very life depends on it (which it probably never will), you can count me out on wearing animal fur obtained black market style.
 
I find fur inhumane, and I defiantly refuse to wear it. I absolutely love animals, and I have three dogs of my own, who I love very, very much. The fact that some people still wear fur absolutely disgusts me. We have better ways of making clothes now, and fur isn't attractive either. I'm seriously unable to stand someone wearing it; if I see someone wearing it, I have to leave the room and can't return until I don't see the fur anymore.
