Fur in Fashion: Is it Beauty or Cruelty?

Or is it cruel and heartless to take a helpless animal's skin just so we can look good?
With a growing awareness surrounding the disgusting conditions and methods used on so many fur farms around the world, what is the future of the fur industry?

Not all the time with Ostrich their bred for their hide and feathers the meat accounts for 20% of the final product and the meat from a lot of animals that are bred for Leather would be inedible and those lovely soft leather shoes thats from Veal Calves. Still feel self rightous about Fur? Side: Fashionable Fur

I can understand the need to use animals in medicine testing (usually), but to use them as outfits? I absolutely hate that. It's unnecessary. Why do we need to kill all these animals just so we can throw on some superficial outfit for a day? It's just wrong... I generally don't get the whole deal with "fashion", but I believe this is one line that fashion industries cross. Side: Morally Wrong

I would wear fur simply because PETA are a bunch of hypocritical lunatics. They euthanize more animals then... normal euthanasia centers! Also, there's nothing cruel about killing unintelligent animals as long as you A. Don't decimate their populations, and B. Don't make their deaths long and painful (you sick fuck).

Imagine if it was your own pet? Your dog or cat. Most people agree that pets do have personalities and feel emotional attachment to these animals because of this. Is it any different to kill a fox for a coat than to kill your dog because somebody likes it fur and wants to wear it? Side: Morally Wrong
There are videos showing the slaughter of animals in china purely for fur, with them then burning the bodies. How is this right. on one video an animal is alive for almost two minutes after the skinning of their fur, we have evolved from monkeys, it's impossible to say they have no feelings. Just because they don't communicate like us does not mean they are not feeling pain. This is disgusting and it should be banned throughout the world. Side: Morally Wrong

its deffinatly wrong, i mean its just like killing us for our skin, would you still agree with it? i mean they encage the animals and then once they are weak enough, they do the process of toturing them to take there fur of, and then they feed the bodies to the other animals who are encaged and are next!!! i mean with chickens..it may sound horrible but they smash there beaks against the floor and with monkeys, they drill into there heads while they are concoius, so cruel!! I MEAN...for me, having the thought of wearing a fox or a monkey or any animal fur on me, is really disturbing and disgusting...i couldnt stand it!!!! Side: Morally Wrong
