OHYEAH! I love fur and leather! If I could afford that stuff I would buy it. For now I'm happy to display my rabbit skin I got a long time ago. Fluffy and soft.. I loves it. My sister is jealous. Very Happy

Just because something is "gross" to you does not make it wrong.

Also, no, we wouldn't wear a hairy person as a coat, because that is a carcass.
People do not wear carcasses; you don't see someone parading around with a
rotting animal around thier shoulders.

People wear the skin. The rest is used either by humans or recyled back into nature.

okay, fur coats i think is bad for the people ONLY kill the animal for the fur but leather shoes r not so bad because the leather used is from cows already killed for eating so your not wasting the animal, but i don't like leather shoes because they are uncomfortable but i have to wear them to school, its part of school uniform

i really am against fur coats AND leather shoes. i think that in the year 2007 we have a much more humane way of making clothes. the very thought of real fur makes my skin crawl. when i do touch it, like in my drama class, i had to wear a fur coat, my hands just FEEL ew.

and i think that more ppl pay attention to fur coats then leather shoes because fur coats are so blatantly there.
people forget about the shoes.

The other parts of animals raised for fur are used too, just like in cows. We might not eat their meat, but other animals do. And even if no one eats the meat, their bodies decompose into nature. It's the circle of life.

Also, no chatspeak on the Discussion Board. Read the rules before posting.

I think its okay to wear leather because it is generally made from cow which we're eating anyway so may as well use that if we use the rest of the cow.

Fur is wrong because the use a ridiculously broad spectrum of animals which we dont use the rest of.

ugh... i hate fur coats and leather
i'm a vegeterian almost vegan so i'm really biest on this subject. i think that we could use other things for clothing. like the stuff made from recycled coke bottles. also if you think about it its kinda depressing and gross. that animal or cow was once alive and it was killed so we could use its fur and have a fashion statement.

ps
if any one doesn't want leather wear converse there's no leather.

I agree with the fact that we shouldn't kill something
just to make a fashion statement...
But really, you can't have anything that doesn't affect some living
organasm in some way...
Just an example, you said about recycled coke bottles, but they're
glass, right?
Glass is made of sand so what if there were sea creatures who lived
in that sand?
Sure, that's a rubbish example, but I can't think of another right now.

But Fur and Leather... Just... generally not a good thing to me.

I don't like fur coats or leather shoes. If I want to wear a coat or jacket, I wear a hoodie. I wear converse on most days and when I have to dress up I wear flat shoes that are not leather. I am not a vegetarian though, neither am I vegan. But I do think it is wrong to wear stuff that kills animals that you can replace with something else.

I am a vegetarian and I think killing a animal for it fur is just plain wrong....

I dont think hunting should be a sport either

fur should only stay on animals.....they should not be a luxury item......

This is what they do for your leather shoes and handbags....click it

I think using something that was once and alive and had feelings just to make you look good is wrong and horrible. And i think its something that should be banned.

Just Like Fox Hunting should be banned. because of the cruelness for no good reason.

I am against the wearing of fur, personally. However, in contrast I like leather. certainly don't condone the killing of animals for their fur, especially endangered animals. But cows are animals, and that's where leather comes from. Where do we draw the line? That's a tough call.

If you like fur and animal skin, fine. Do whatever. But I personally don't like to wear either because I always imagine some animal showing off boots made from my skin and wearing a coat made out of my hair. No thank you.

okay this is my thought about people who wear fur coats..........THEY HAVE NO HEART!



I cant stand people who wear fur coats!!!its disgusting to know that the animal was probably skinned alive and tourtered! Ive seen the viedos of what they do to them. i cry everytime i think about it.I BET IF THE PEOPLE WHO SAW A VIDEO OF WHAT THEY DO TO THE ANIMAL THEY WOULDNT GO NEAR ONE!!i swear everytime i see somebody wear a fur coat or looking at one to buy i could kill that person!!!!and exspecialy seeing how much the coats are $5000 for a mink coat!!i go crazy!!my boyfrined had to pull me out of a store one time because i was looking at how much the coats were and i got soo pissed!!i was crusing soo bad!the woman who was next to me who was looking to buy one walked away lol ooo btw i think its fucked up when people call them selves animal lovers but they wear fur coats and talk about how they love their dog or cat to death. THERE ALL ANIMALS!!NO MATTER WHAT BREED IT IS! so dont call your self and animal lover if u wear fur coat cause your not! well i should probably stop cause i could go on for hours about this topic.

Your violence is disturbing.I respect everyone's opinion, but you're a total hypocrite if you think killing a human is somehow justified for wearing the skin of a dead animal. Violence begets violence. If you feel that strongly, then what do you think of Gerard? He owns/wears many leather jackets, belts and boots.

PETA are terrorists. They support and fund violence, murder, arson and bombing. I'm sure they had good intentions in the beginning, but they are a very corrupt organization that rescues animals from shelters only to euthanize them and bury them in mass graves. They have a "death van" that is stocked with tackle boxes full of syringes and lethal drugs to kill kitties and puppies. Visit this website and see how PETA is admitting under court oath that they do indeed kill animals and dump them in dumpsters or freezers.
