How do you feel about real fur?

[alexia18]

If money was not the deciding factor which would you rather? Also if you have deal fur feel free to say which type Very curious to see people's perception on it.

I like real fur

I like fake fur

[Anonymous]

You know what, Im going to go the other way with it just because i can.

So obviously, at least where i live in the uk, but i believe in at least the majority of the western world it was decided and awfully long time ago now, long before you were born that 'fur is murder' and thats its totally not cool to wear fur.

However, the idea i am going to pitch to you is that aslong as you eat the animal and you dont cause unecessary suffering when you kill it, wearing fur is just fine, why? because leather, thats why.

Furthermore if wearing fur is not ok, why would it be ok to pretend to be wearing it? Why would you want to socially signal that you have murdered a poor defenceless fluffy little bambi when you havent?
It would be like wearing a tshirt that boasts about being listed on the sex offenders register.

One thing is certain, people are very very confused.

I make my own hides from the animals I butcher for meat. And I sell the fur pelts for money. Nothing is not being wasted Not even the bones. I sell the bones to a Gelatin maker. So I like fur

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

The only time i would wear real fur is if it had to do with survival. However I've seen videos of how people get these furs for fashion, and its pretty damn horrific. I saw animals getting hanged by their feet and their skin being literally ripped off while they are alive. So yeah im seriously not gonna be wearing real furs for fashion.

[ChgzDaniel]

I like fur, I'm not against fur, it's probably better for the environment... however I am strongly against the torture of all animals and fur farms disgust me. If we were to only make fur out of animals we kill to eat then there would be no problem whatsoever.

[emmily2396]

If we have fake fur why kill an innocent being? that is unncessary and cruel

[Skali9119Liska]

Fake fur looks and feels cheap and ugly

[emmily2396]

That is the most stuipid thing i heard today. Lets take your skin instead because fake leather looks cheap.

[Skali9119Liska]

Human skin isn’t the most adequate material to make a leather jacket or a leather sofa lol

[Skali9119Liska]

Are you vegan?

[emmily2396]

No, i am not vegan. But saying someone's life is les worthy than having a nice looking jacket or purse is absurd. Empathy is a trait of interpersonal intelligence, so acting it like you lack it is not something you should want

[Skali9119Liska]

Do you eat meat?

[emmily2396]

I don't

[Skali9119Liska]

Do you spit or swallow?

[emmily2396]

@Skali9119Liska are you retarded?

[Skali9119Liska]

Why are you so rude it’s just a question

[humanearth]

What if you use all of the animal? Like me I eat the meat

[InTimoreDei]

I've had both real fur and fake fur. I prefer real fur; it's warmer, nicer, and feels good. Fake fur doesn't even keep you warm very well. Real fur has certain properties that helps keep heat (obviously because it is from an animal).

I have a Reindeer fur hat from Russia. This psycho Vegan came up to me when I was wearing and yelled in my ear saying "nice hat... you piece of shit... hope you enjoy having a poor animal on you"

Hahahahhahahahahahaa.

As long as the entire animal is utilized and it wasn't wasted then I think it is fine.

[mrbobz]

It seems an unnecessary thing. I used to not care about animals when I was younger but being older has made me realise these lives are used up and spat out by our need for things we don't actually need in today's world. These animals just want to live, like you. They never asked to be born and butchered

[Bishop-Brennan]

OK so I'm not mad about fur but the way I see it is if your going to kill something fotmr food you bloody better use everything. Nobody bitches about leather because we're liking them all for the meat anyway. To kill something exclusively for the fur for the sake of fashion (not if your somewhere you need the warmth) that's where it gets sketchy.

[curiousnorway]

I think real fur has a nicer quality, but I'm fine with fake fur too. The fur industry's methods seems unprofessional if you ask me. The meat industry gives the animals a bullet in their head and may even give them a form of anesthesia, so it's a more comfortable journey for everyone. The fur industry fails to do it.

I'm not political correct though since I eats meat and would still enjoy my chicken meal.

[Kurαȷ]

I like fur.
I have nothing against fur from farmed animals such as sheep, rabbits and goats, and myself own three fur throws, one of which is clearly from a very young animal.

I'm a lot less accepting of something like Chinese fox farming practices, but then again, I believe in personal responsibility, and I don't see the end-users as responsible for anything involved in the process.

[MrKinktastic]

I do care a bit about how it’s harvested but I don’t really have anything against trapping if done properly as selectively.

[constant_freeflow]

I don’t wear fur but if I had a coat that had fur in the inside I would I prefer fake fur. Don’t like seeing animals get hurt when there are alternatives. Maybe back then it was necessary but definitely not in this age and definitely not in my country.

[franziska]

I don't care about people's perception or their opinions on my fur, I like to wear fur and have enough fur, not just as a coat.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Don't know much about either, but I did watch a video saying fake fur is better, due to multiple reasons, I'll see if I can find it, so I'd probably go with that, if needed, because it's cheaper and easier access, I'd imagine.

[Agape93]

I like it. It has a natural scent to it and it’s warmer.

[lightbulb27]

I feel for th animals stuck in cages in china turned into real fur. so I don't like it, but honestly doubt I'd know the diff other than cost.

[NicolaD]

Real fur was de rigueur in the UK up until the seventies but then they disappeared from the high street and specialist stores closed so it’s not as easy to find these days. Which do I prefer? Neither.

[MatinBrumeux]

For the average person real fur is unnecessary. Someone gifted me rabbit fur arm warmers a few years ago. I still have them, but I would never willingly purchase fur.

[MatinBrumeux]

knowingly*

[LaBrownEyes]

Would appreciate some real fur. Already kill animals for meat why not fur? I get some people's dislike agaisnt real fur but yeah I don't have that emotional struggle with it.

[Factshurt90]

Use the ENTIRE animal. Please don’t just kill the animal for fashion. Since I don’t know if the animal was actually used properly I detest real fur.

[MlleCake]

Oh, I *like* real fur. It's so soft and interesting to touch. But I would never buy any except vintage, and inexpensive.

[Tinnamar]

Soooo unnecessary. In a world full of fake yet so realistic fur and leather materials, why tf would you wear a real one?

[Armourdillo]

Fake fur can be made from plastic as well. We have so much of it polluting the world and it's usable material for building, clothing, appliances etc.
I agree why kill animals for things we can create for sustainably?

But ultimately it's all money. If people are willing to pay it'll be available.

[Tinnamar]

Well.. Real fur is luxurious and God know people love to feel that way. But in my opinion luxury is not wearing a dead animal on my back

[Armourdillo]

Agreed

[aspiringasparagus]

I find the idea of wearing a dead animal very morbid.

[crazy8000]

If I have killed and eaten the animal. sure, it's a great protection from the elements.
Since don't need do that for survival. why should I do something meaningless like that 🤨

[A-man-22]

If you are going to use the rest of the animal and it's not indangered sure. E. g cows for leather and beef.

Animals hunted just for fur or are indangered shouldn't be allowed.
