To not see the big deal with wearing fur

[Itsgonnabeacoldone]

If it's vintage then you aren't really supporting an industry or creating demand for new fur garments.

Some of the comments against Alexandra have been pretty vile. I have an old piano that has ivory, but it's second hand and surely it's better that it's used after being made than just thrown away?

" I've seen the wide eyed fear in a trapped tethered cow who had its neck cut (no stun gun used)".

Isn't this how most meat animals are killed in order to satisfy Halal requirements??

Downtheroad - the clip of the cow was from a non-Halal UK slaughterhouse. I was shocked as I'd always believed our slaughterhouses would use a stun gun first.

Increased standards in slaughterhouses are one thing well worth campaigning for. Non stun methods should not be allowed - another example of where religious ‘needs’ impinge on rights imho.
There is work done on more humane slaughter methods - how animals are channelled through (seeing and smelling as little as possible) is important, to reduce fear for example.

I think people don’t like to think about where their meat come from. I have a couple of friends here who hunt, for example, and have got a bit of abuse for it. Is it really worse to shoot dead a moose that’s had a nice life in a Finnish forest than it is to eat danish pork raised via stall and tether? I don’t think so.

For those who believe that fur is wrong and sick under absolutely any circumstances, no exceptions, I wonder if you’d be so kind as to pop up to Canada/Alaska and tell all the First Nation Peoples that they should stop immediately?

I don’t believe fur is a necessity in our climate, nor do I believe fur farms should be allowed to continue. But ethically sourced, appropriately hunted fur? I can’t see why not. Seems like a waste to kill something to eat and throw the hide away.
