Moral question on fur

Hmmm well yes but if you re-read my post you'l see i was talking about wearing synthetic coats which are incredibly harmful to the environment. Perhaps if we stopped wearing tat from Primark and all wore fur we'd make a difference?

Sorry, if you said before but is it like a vintage type shop/charity shop?

Edit: Typing this on my iPod, so allow the errors in my replies

My posts were about the purchase of real fur products, and nothing to do with the relative environmental damage of synthetic vs real fur. I don't know why you brought it up!

I would feel that I was still contributing to the modern day fur industry. Walking around with it on you are a walking advert; you become part of the fashion, you strengthen the fashion and you then increase the demand for fur. So it's still wrong, IMO.

Additionally you may well get hated on by random activists you walk past. Not that the possible adversity you might face is a moral reason to not wear fur, I mention it just in case you hadn't considered it. Animal rights activists and even show-pony activists react far more strongly to fur than to leather and meat.

Yeah i was asking if you think fur is better or worse then the damage synthetic materials cause the environment?

Is it worse then asking third world children to make me a coat for 13p a day?

well i ahte it when we kill bears and lions ,zebra's , and so many other animals just to get the fur or the skin and make a expensive coat about which we could brag and boost-always go for the price tag.
there are synthetic materials which can used to make coats why animal skin. just hate this idea.

In all seriousness, the amount that many individuals get paid in third world countries may seem like a pittance to you and I, but without that job they'd be a lot, lot worse off.

Real child exploitation is of course no laughing matter, but what is to stop you from purchasing clothes that have been ethically sourced?

Because then surely those people are still out of a job. I'l walk around in my ethically sourced coat and then everyone will want one and then Primark can't afford to buy clothes from these people and they die from starvation.

IMO no, the animal is dead, the coat has been made and presumeably worn.

I happen to think fur looks awful , but that's not a moral objection of course.

Get a furry bra tbh

No, an increase in demand for ethically sourced products will force companies that use sweat shop labour to improve working conditions and raise wages.

£50 is hardly something to brag about?

Yeah, it won't. The world just isn't that awesome.

well a pure leather coat is for 50 quids??
a coat made of deer skin is for 50 quids??

i doubt that
