I think if you just kill the animal for its fur its abuse. But lets say you use the eat the meat. Then I donut know I think its ok then. But then can you say the burgers we eat. Is that abuse? When is it ok and not ok to kill an animal?

Killing an animal for its fur is abuse, I say, because it's not necessary. We're just looking for 'luxury'.

When it comes to food, killing an endangered animal is just, wrong. It isn't 'abuse' per se, it's more of morals. Ultimately, why do we eat? For nutrients. If we can get nutrients from un-endangered animals, why kill endangered animals (e.g. sharks)?

Some may counter by saying that it's wrong to eat animals altogether, and everyone should go vegetarian. But some nutrients only come in the form of meat, so theoretically that's not feasible.

I dont think its ok if your just trying to make a fashion statement, but everyone has to eat.

i would never wear a fur but the other day i was in class and saw a drum made out of cow skin and fur and at first i was really upset and thor it was wrong but then i throurt about it and throut why waste all the skin and bones of an animal you will already of killed to get meat to get the full use of the poor animal, but i just wish that the animals good be kept in better conditions is lots of people are going to eat meat

I cant imagine wearing an animals skin... it makes my skin crawl, poor animals... however, isn't there laws about using it in fashion? I am really uneducated in this sort of thing, but I imagine designers who are known to use real fur get protesters and boycotters.

I think both, if they're illing an animal for its fur then they should be skinned to but if they make something from fur thats from an animal the died naturally then no prob. Of course, I know it doesn't work like that so, I say leave the animals be!!

I think that the fur industry is a terrible thing. However, I happen to have a fur coat that was a gift from my father from some people he worked with in Afghanistan. I am told that it was hand made. I can't really look at the coat, but when the weather is cold enough in Colorado, I do wear it. So I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite. Oh well.
