Should Animals Be Allowed To Be Skinned? Why or Why not?

[Athena374]

I think they should be allowed to be skinned. I mean we are eating them, what’s so different about wearing them?

Yes they should

No they shouldn’t

[Goforit1010]

The one thing everyone needs to realize is that nearly any fur used comes from farmed animals. Extremely few are ever harvested from the wild.

Secondly, once an animal is dead, it has zero need for its fur. We might as well use it. Frankly, what difference does it make if the animal took 3 minutes to die or was killed instantly before you decide if its fur is worth wearing. Humanely killing an animal is a whole different point.

My grandfather used to work on a mink farm where mink was raised - specifically for the fur. He also used to raise chinchillas in his house for the very same reason. He killed them with electricity. When he pelted one out... the absolutely softest thing your hands ever touched!

[TheUniqueOne96]

If we kill them for food, then they're dead anyway and you can use the skin, as it no longer has use for it, which seems to be the most reasonable option.

I don't think we should just skin the animal and let it go, it just seems kind of harsh, unless the animal died itself.

[franziska]

We have always used nature for us, including the wildlife. In order to prepare animals for our needs, we breed animals for our needs, whether as workhorses, pets, animals to eat, animals for our clothes. Of course we can use them, also for furs, today and in the future.

[VIVANT]

The problem is if they are skinned d_ALIVE_

... which I don’t get why this happens. Otherwise If the animal was already dead and wasn’t tortured while it was alive -ok

But industry animals are just treated horrifically , so I’m just not a fan of any of it.

[Athena374]

That’s not what I’m asking about tho, some people don’t think animals should be skinned at all which is why I’m asking this que.

[ciitruskiwi]

Personally I would never wear real fur but it's fine if you are using everything you can use. It's not fine if you are literally just skinning it for a rug or a jacket and leaving the rest.

[Athena374]

👌👌

[Anonymous]

The issue is if they're skinned alive, that's putting them through extreme stress and torturing them for the hell of it.

[Athena374]

Yea but that’s not what I’m asking about. I’m asking if you think it’s ok to skin an animal.

[Opinion Owner]

As long as it’s done when the animal isn’t alive, I don’t see a big problem with it.

[Athena374]

Okay

[Zodiac10]

Better than throwing it away in a trash after eating them. I even find it distrespectful in some ways. You should use every part of the animal.

[Athena374]

Yepp

[name_is_eric]

Of course, like people have done in the past.
But I believe, if you kill an animal you should put it all to use.

[Rexxx]

They should if they're killed humanely, but they sometimes aren't.

[fluffypebbles]

You mean 'Should humans be allowed to skin animals?' or were you asking that 'Should animals be allowed to skin if they want to get skinned?'. What we all can do is to resist the killing of as much animals as possible. The necessity is a different factor.

[Athena374]

Nah they’re going to get killed we need to eat.

[fluffypebbles]

What do you mean?

[Athena374]

I mean what I just said

[fluffypebbles]

Your sentence doesn't make sense.

[Athena374]

If it doesn’t then you don’t know English good.

[dandee55]

How many people do you know that eat beaver, chinchilla, fox, jackal, mink, otter, raccoon, or sable?

[Athena374]

People in the country eat taco on. Everything else people do eat but not in America. N still that doesn’t matter because it’s just fur

[Anonymous]

While they kill them humanly, I have no problem with that.

It is only US likes to get all plastic stuff food and clothes, even sticking some under skin...

[vald9inches]

animals skin humans all the time so why can't we do it to them?

[Athena374]

How?

[vald9inches]

we just dont hear about it because usually its a person camping alone in the wood when the animal get him or her and then they skin them

[Athena374]

💀💀it’s not the same thing n ok

[Athena374]

You’re talking about violent animals

[vald9inches]

humans can be violent too!

[catmandoes]

More people wear animals product than eat them

[Athena374]

I don't know about that

[catmandoes]

Wool and leather are more popular than vegans. Some vegans were leather shoes and few have a problem with wool

[ciitruskiwi]

Sheep have to be sheared or else they overheat so yeah wool isn't that bad. It isn't skinning them.

[Athena374]

You don’t skin for wool, I do think there is more meat eaters then people that actually wear the fur tho.

[catmandoes]

I did say animal products, chickens can't stop laying eggs either but vegans don't eat them. Yes there is more meat eaters than fur wearers but that is not what I said.

[Athena374]

That is exactly what you said.

[catmandoes]

I said more people wear wool and leather etc. than eat meat

[Athena374]

Exactly and that’s not true at all.

[catmandoes]

Do you not own anything wool or leather? In my country that is true

[Athena374]

Well you must be in a country where most people are vegetarians. Otherwise you are incorrect. There’s no country where people are mostly vegetarian.

[catmandoes]

In my country i'd say less than 1% don't own anything made by an animal where as 92% eat meat.

[Athena374]

Yea sure, what country are u in?

[catmandoes]

Ireland, we are one of the biggest wool and leather producers per capita

[Athena374]

Ok now I know you’re lying. There is no place on earth where people wear more stuff made by animals than eating meat. There’s no place.

[catmandoes]

How is that a lie? I don't know anyone that doesn't own leather AND wool, do you have any stats or are you just guessing I am wrong?

[Athena374]

I can get stats and it’s just common sense Lmaoo smh.

[catmandoes]

Get stats so. Check what percentage of Ireland people own a leather or wool item if you can find it being less than 92% I will give you 50 euro. What is common sense about it?

[Bhragu]

Yes they should.

[RIVERTAY888]

nope

[Athena374]

Y not?

[RIVERTAY888]

thats not nice dont wear rabbit

[Athena374]

You can’t tell me what I can and can’t wear.

[RIVERTAY888]

You can wear what ever you wish to wear its your choice
