how many people think its wrong to wear fur?
dont get me wrong i love animals but i got in trouble recently with a peta lady because i have a doe hide coat, it took me along time to get the money i needed and a few years hunting doe to get this coat (it was an obsession for 4 years because i was poor but wanted one) for the rest of the day i had this lady following me telling me how heartless i was adn that i deserved to be skined and wore as a coat too. i told her that if she didnt leave me alone i was gonna have a new human pelt of my very own and i got arrested for a threat, blah blah blah, anyway why cant i wear my coat without being harrassed by people
i agree bambi is tastie, sorry you dont like meat or hide, and i do understand that not all peta members are psycho. sorry if it came across like that
i have 4 fur coats all of them were from animals i hunted and ate (2 rabbit 1 doe and ones actualy a pair of gloves)

While I agree that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and they are allowed to voice it to others, it really irks me the way animal rights groups seem to preach and harass others. If you want wear something, you have right to wear it and not be harassed for your choice.
From a personal stand point I do agree most anti fur people have limited understanding / knowledge about animals, are often ignorant to the real facts. Most animal rights groups seem to use bad examples (i.e. most of the footage is from China), or are staged; thus not representing how the fur industry works.
What so many people forget is that most fur bearing animals need to be kept in much better conditions than any meat/dairy animal in order to produce a quality coat because the fur is a good reflection of the animal's overall wellbeing. Likewise people forget that it's in the farmers interest to make use of the remaining by-products, such as use meat for pet food, oils / fats for cosmetics products such as lipstick etc. As a result waste is minimized and I can't see how fur is any different from leather really, except in this case the meat is the by product and the skin is the main product. As long as animals are well looked after I don't have an issue.
I did a lot of research before I brought my first furs (I now have a nice collection of men's furs, mostly leather coats with fur linings, and a couple of blankets) because I wanted to ensure that I was buying something reputable. I just ignore people on the very rare occasions I have stupid comments. I'm sorry that you are not in the same position to.
People also forget that faux fur is in fact very bad compared to the real thing. It's made from oil / plastic based materials, doesn't recycle very well, and when it finally breaks down it will degrade many harmful toxins. Many are unaware of the huge problem this has created with marine life (See: http://www.bestlifeonline.com/cms/publish/health-fitness/Our_oceans_are_turning_into_plastic_are_we_2_printer.shtml). Real fur is renewable and does not have these issues, provided the animals are utilized in humane and resourceful way that
People who eat meat or wear leather who disagree with wearing fur in my eyes are very hypocritical, given that most meat is raised in far worst conditions. However if one makes the choice not to wear fur and is a vegan that I fully respect their opinion and dedication. But at the end of the day whichever stance you take on the topic, there is no right or wrong answer and everyone has the right to make their own opinion, and voice it provided it's done in a constructive, well-reasoned manner.
