I might loose 1000 points for this,but to wear furs from dead animals for the pure image of it is truly sick and distorted.

I've never had fur, so i couldnt tell you. I'll ask my cat later for you if she's around.

IMO, if they are raised for the purpose of becoming a coat, yes. If the coat were to be made from animals who have died natural deaths, then no. Of course we all know that those chichillas did not die of old age in a cozy habitat.

No it isn't. Although I don't wear fur, and I don't think fur should be worn for the sake of fashion, but calling it murder is getting things out of proportion. Only human beings are murdered. By other human beings. It is something I worry about, because much as I hate unecessary cruelty to animals the elevation of animals to near-human status is responsible for some horrific crimes by extreme animal rights groups who seem to value animal rights above human rights. So you can argue that it's wrong - but it is definetly not murder. (Logically one would have to argue that if fur is murder, then a snake who bites a human and kills them is also a murderer, and should be put on trial - which is clearly ridiculous.)

No, not murder, put perhaps senseless and unnecessary. With so many animal species threatened, really is it wise to keep using fur at such a rate? I understand in the developing nations in tribal areas, this may still be necessary, and certainly fur has served mankind for thousands of years. Perhaps, now we can move on to man made fabrics instead do to environmental challenges and a growing world population.

I don't understand the desire to wear fur. There is fake fur that looks the same, and frankly, I don't think fur coats look good. But that's just my opinion. I think to broadly say that wearing fur is wrong is a mistake, because there are cultures where it has a great deal of significance (besides fashion). And I think if fur is murder, so is meat. But I think the wearing of fur is wasteful and unnecessary. I am not charmed by the idea of wearing a corpse. Yes, I know leather is the same thing, but it doesn't LOOK like the animal to me, so it doesn't disturb me the same way. I don't like dead animals to look like dead animals (which is the same reason that I won't eat food with the head on it).

Raising animals for the express intent to contribute to the vanity of some fool is murder pure and simple.

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Nobody would go around wearing the skins of dead babies, would they? It's the same thing. Poor lives lost for rich bitches!!! It's just wrong. x

Yes.

Not unless it is really hot and the creature with fur overheats.

Fur isn't murder. Yes some furs are harvested inhumanely even in a torturous manner. But people need to wake up and grow up. Children in Africa are dying daily because they don't have clean drinking water, atrocities are commited daily to innocent lives as a result of war (that is murder)and there are children working in factories sewing shoes for 5 cents a day - these issues are INHUMANE. Animals should definitely not be hurt or treated badly, but the reality is they are not humans and should not be elevated to human status. What is to stop a Cat from becoming the next President of the United States? its ridiculous! Some climates are so cold people need to wear fur, others wear fur for spirtual reasons. And if you can afford to wear fur thats ur choice - wear it. Otherwise why don't we just go around throwing paint at people in mcdonalds for eating a big mac? im sure many are aware that a cow is a sacred and worshipped animal in some religions? all these models posing naked screaming for is murder for PETA should calm down and stop glamorizing this bullsh*t. they seem to have no problem walking down a catwalk in leather shoes or endorsing/modelling products sewn up my innocent children in a tiawanese factory somewhere where slave labor is standard practise.
