Personally, I'm against people who wear fur but I don't go splashing paint on fur coats for two reasons:

1. It won't do any good.

2. The person wearing it may be armed.

Fur coats for dumb animals!

its an old catch phrase but a goody :D

I'm strongly against people who wear fur. IMO, it is one of the dumbest (and cruel) fashion statements I have ever seen - even a dress made of chocolate (it exists!) is better. Ignorant, ignorant people. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

I believe they murder the animals before taking their fur, yes.

I'm against killing animals for fur. Killing animals for food and using their fur as well, I wouldn't mind.

so what about leather then?

I'm not going so far as to call it murder... but it's selfish and irresponsible to have a living creature suffer for the aesthetic benefit of another living creature. This is why I'm against testing makeup and other cosmetics on animals.

i agree that is a bit silly*, however i am all for animal testing of pharmaceuticals. i wear leather and fur but dont go out of my way to buy it, in fact my fur coat was a gift.


*silly=wrong

<font color=pink>Hmm, I see I'm the odd one here who likes fur. I think it's classy looking, and imitation (faux) fur looks pathetic next to the real thing.

If you're against fur but don't mind leather, then you're like a 'vegetarian' who eats fish, IMO [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

But at least standing by some principles with the risk of being called a hypocrite is better than having no principles at all, in my opinion.

But you can be vegetarian for other reasons then kindness to animals. I also think that the methods used for killing clothing animals should be taken into account. If you are giving one set of animals lethal injection that is more kind than sticking electric probes up their hoo ha

Faux fur does look off doesn't it? and it just feels so ick.
