What do you think about fur?

In other words, rob people of their civil liberties?

Better than cruely robbing animals of their own skin

Animals are killed for food anyway (with good reason), so what would be the point in not using their fur too? It's called practicality.

The majority of animals used for fur are killed for nothing but their fur. Plus the fur industry isn't as regulated as the meat industry; there are a lot more cruel practices and methods involved

I think animals that are killed for food already, sure.

But to kill an animal simply for it's fur is morally wrong. In my mind anyway.

What's the point in killing it if you can just wear fake fur that looks no different?

Because faux fur is inferior insulation. It also freezes whereas real fur does not. The last thing I want when it is -25C is an inferior product.

They don't need it when they are dead.

When you're having to deal with -25C weather, sure if there's no alternative to wrapping yourself in furs like a neanderthal, then use furs that are responsibly sourced. I'm talking about fur as more of a fashion statement, which usually consists of exotic or uncommon animals.

Diddy does raise a good point. I'm vegan so I obviously don't support fur wearing but if you are eating meat you can't be all holier than thou because you are being hypocritical. Why don't you extend the kindness a step further and go vegan?

Even then, you could still argue that you're more important than the exotic, uncommon animal whose fur you're wearing on your back, because you're more endangered than they are, as there's only one of you.

You can still love animals even if you consciously make the decision to wear real, genuine animal fur as fashionable clothing, but it's just a question of whether or not you love yourself more.

This is true. Just look at how Humans love domesticated animals to the point of worship in some cultures yet are happy to scoff other animals in huge quanitties every year. Hypocrites every one of them.

The problem with fur breeding, is that the animals that are left after they have taken the fur, are thrown away - in other words, not used for food at least - the animals are purely killed for the purpose of the fur. In todays world we have other options, fur is only used for purposes as status, looks, ect., not because we need the fur to stay warm. And not to mention the horrible living conditions. The animals live in small cages, animals that are normally ment to live in nature and be able to run around, they are often abused and are in a lot of pain.

PS. if you don't support, fur, you shouldn't support eating meat either - the animals in the meat industry don't have any better living conditions than in the fur industry.

Also, I like to think of wearing an animal's fur as fashionable clothing as a celebratory tribute to that animal's life, instead of a symbol of human dominance over animals. I would've thought it a much better idea to show off the beauty of an animal and its fur by letting everyone see it on prominent display, rather than just let an animal die naturally without using its fur for this purpose so that nobody can see it, right?

People seem to view the conscious wearing of animal fur in such a negative light, and I really don't understand this.

Nope you're filth. I wasn't condoning your groteqsque desire to robe yourself in the skin of another animal as a means of self-expression. You're scum.
