When was the last time you ate something that was skinned alive? I think there is something to be said for using the meat of animals for sustenance vs. their fur for fashion.Originally posted by spiralWell..we eat animals, so whats wrong with wearing there fur?
I'm sure you're just commenting based on what you think is 'people who have their nose in other people's business'. I bet you personally don't own anything with fur in it, so why comment? As for 'animal rights, ugh!' I don't understand your problem with it. There is a difference between wanting to cause as little pain as possible and promoting the idea that certain things, like ripping off the skin of an animal to wear it on your shoulders, are unnecessary. This is different than being a freaking animal rights activist fanatic who will go out and bomb some kind of fur factory and kill the workers there in the name of 'animal rights'. Of course they are probably all one and the same to you.Originally posted by AnonymousePeople who like to get their nose in other peoples business like to think there's something wrong.Last edited by ckBejug; 04-12-2005, 09:08 AM.The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F.

So it wouldn’t be a problem if they were skinned after being put to death in a manner which would not inflict much pain or torture onto them?Originally posted by ckBejugWhen was the last time you ate something that was skinned alive?

What is the main issue, that they are skinning the animals, or that they are skinning them alive? It would be o.k if they’re dead before being skinned?
Or what if the animal is already killed, for food, and they make use of its fur also? What’s wrong with that?

Not for fur! The problem is that wearing animal skin is a fashion statement. Oh, I'm rich and I can afford to wear something that has no purpose but to show how much money I have. The problem is that it is not necessary to kill these animals for food. Do you eat fox or mink or chinchilla? Even if they completely eliminated the pain factor, I don't see a reason an animal has to be killed in order for someone to wear a stupid fashion statement on their shoulders. You heard that clip, did you know that more than a hundred animals have to be killed just for one coat?? I know that certain places use the cows for more than just meat, they also use the cow, after the meat part it taken care of, to make leather and suede, and it's hooves to make gelatin. Ok, optimizing the use of a cow for all those purposes, that's ok. Not that I'd go out of my way to wear leather or suede, it's ok because the meat is taken for food, etc. But why use traps and all other sorts of really inhumane methods to trap wild fox and other animals for their fur?Originally posted by spiralSo it wouldn’t be a problem if they were skinned after being put to death in a manner which would not inflict much pain or torture onto them?

I don't like the idea of using animal skin for clothing period, but if they have to, then at least don't do it while the animals are still alive, darn it!!!
You guys actually listen to J-Lo? J-Lo sucks! Her music sucks! ! Her butt is ugly! So is her face! She changes men too often! And she can't function without a man in her life! Some people don't deserve to be rich and famous, and she's one of 'em. She can use the fame to do something so positive, instead she peels off animals.
