Would you wear fur products?

I will, and do wear fur. I figure as long as I'm eating meat, why should i care about animals that are killed for fur. Meat is tasty, and fur is warm and soft.

I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing fur products, so long as you are willing to kill the animal and take it's fur with your own hands. Anyone can buy something made from animal fur, but how can you wear it with any sense of pride unless you killed and skinned the animal yourself?

But then we'd only have cat and dog coats with a terrible texture. ur duhmb.

On a more serious opinion, I don't care about the animals, and our predecessors used fur and leather for clothing, so why should we bitch about it now?

That is kinda like asking how can you eat any type of meat with any sense of pride unless you killed and gutted the animal yourself.

In the real and modern world, i dont think it is a matter of pride that you wear a fur coat for example, and even if you do get a sense of pride from it, most likely it comes from the price tag and not the actual coat.

Well up in Canada, it's cold as balls in the winter. The majority of us students own Parajumpers, Moose Knuckles, and Canada Goose Parkas. An abundance of fox pelts in that, along with Goose down.

Neutral mostly I'll care for animals but I won't condemn people for working and trying to make ends meet. Animal are great but they can kill as well. Circle of life and all that. Now if an animal is in danger of going instinct I'd rather them not kill the species.

[size=10][color=red]I personally don't like the smell of fur unless its synthetic because people like my mom and dad didn't take care of said items. Apparently there's a way to treat fur so it doesn't smell like must after it's rained on...
But if it meant for survival, sure. I just wouldn't buy a coat or anything with real fur in it for fashion purposes[/color][/h]

Better question is, where can I find them. I paid 200 dollars for faux fur or whatever it is called. Screw that! But I can see why people are against unnecessary killing.

I hope the animals died of natural causes first (or were at least Shaved and not killed) and we're not simply hunted down for the sake of making a quick buck off their fur. I know that's exactly what the fur traders of old did

I guess I'd be okay wearing fur... Not pelts though. Fur grows back and can simply be woven into the clothing like any other thread... You have to kill the animal for the pelt, and I don't want to wear a dead animal.

Because it's sorta related, Im also not too fond of hunting deer , and I don't like Duck Dynasty very much because I don't really get why they hunt ducks or how you'd even make a living off doing that.

I probably wouldn't do that seeing as how I get around on a bike most of the time and it can get really sweaty if I wear anything too warm.

I don't really think there's anything wrong with fur products as most of the animals are just given a shave and so it grows back. Pelts or skins on the other hand are kind of stretching it; the idea of having a 'dead animal on you' just sounds wrong.



In this clip it's played out for laughs obviously but when I first heard that line I still felt kinda uncomfortable. One of my biggest problems with animal pelts are that a lot of them come from endangered animals and if the hunting goes on we might kill yet another species of animal into extinction.

That is exactly what the fur traders of today do, but mostly instead of hunting them, they farm them, same way we farm (or ranch) cows and pigs.




The kind of fur coats you see people wear cannot be made if the fur was shaven off, you have to have the pelts in order to make the type of fur coats you see in fashion.




They make (or made, idk) a living off the wooden duck calls they made before the show, after their show became famous they can just plaster they faces and names on anything and weird people buy it.




Most animals actually are not shaven, but killed and made into pelts. :)

I have fur on the hood of my winter coat. I wear the coat, so yes I would wear fur.

conflited about this. i would wear fur cloths if they were older, because i no longer condone fur, but i have no problem wearing them, or other people wearing them

Odd opinion, there is a sense of pride when it comes to making something yourself, but for a long time, wearing fur was a luxury, not a trophy. It's not like a hunter would proudly wear his chinchilla coat bragging about the hunt. Wearing fur can have many reasons such as showing off, you like the feel or look, and or its very warm. Not many wear wolf, boar or bear skins anymore to show off the ability to kill such. Personally, unless they killed it with a hand made bow, or a knife, I am really not impressed.

To reply to the topic, if you refuse to wear fur, better avoid every single animal product. Naturally being a responsible consumer when it comes to fur is the way to go. You don't need to contribute to the extinction of an animal, or support an industry that might have more than the standard terrible conditions for animal and or employee. But to avoid fur, feathers, leather, meat, medicine and a multitude of other products, is silly and to just avoid fur is hypocritical.

I'm a guy.

Furs kinda make you look gay.

Au'contraire dear sir, furs can make you look very manly



Now THIS, is how you dress to look gay (no offense to homosexuals):

Yeah- see- there's a bit of a flaw in your argument.


Nobody has dressed like your man there in the past 200 years.


So- to reiterate-

MODERN fur fashion makes you look kinda gay.

I know what you mean by "modern fur fashion" looking gay, but if you think stuff like this looks gay, then im dissapoint:



^^^^ this is what my fur coat resembles. It has the fur turned inside for warmth, not for fasion, and looks like the regular bomber jacket shown above, but with buttons instead of a zipper (because i suck at sewing zippers into clothes without fucking them up).

Yeah. That's a leather jacket.

As in the focus/what we see is the leather.

If somebody says "fur coat"- that is not what comes to mind.

I see. Well, in any case, my coat/jacket/whatever you want to call it is a good choice for a cold winter day, without looking gay, real orientation notwithstanding. Along with my fur bomber hat, and fur mittens.
