i am very much against fur...
especially the way things like those fur farms are run i mean to raise animals for pelts is one thing, but a lot of countries have no kinds of standards to ensure these animals are kept in any kind of decent conditions. urgh it makes me sick |

I know same here! It makes me sick of watching them taking off the animal's fur from its body. I'm against it. I mean they need fur more than us. I do want the fur coats to stop. I know it makes rich people look more fabalous and richer looking. But still, I feel bad for the animals... well I eat meats and they are animals ehh... But whoever eats sheeps? eck.... or moose... ewwwww. So yeah I feel bad for them only haha. Ok I'm confusing myself. I'll just stop right here. . . |

i hardly trust the anything comming from PETA.
i could take a video of police brutality, stick an acronym on it and say look, police are evil. but it wouldn't mean it's true... |

Well, police brutality is out of the norm.... not all cops are like that.
I hardly doubt theres any other way to skin a living animal. But I do agree PETA is a little manipulative sometimes. I just think this video exposes the fur industry to its most shameful extent. |

well PETA will inevitably exagerate their side of the case, i mean they're hardly an unbiased source, they want to present an argument... |

Yeah sometimes PETA can be way out there.
I don't care for fur & I don't know why we're still making/buying it. Do we really need it? |

i think fur is stupid and unnecessary also. i saw that video this summer, it was disgusting. we went to this play/dinner thing last night and a bunch of the actors had real coat furs on, i wanted to throw my salad on them.

i sound very air-headed by saying this, but fur is ugly.
I'll stick to cotton. Cotton>fur. It's really dumb to do that to animals. |

I'm completely against fur. It's horribly cruel, selfish, and unecessary. There is nothing to justify fur in today's society. Faux fur is just like the real thing only without the death.

    << that is how i feel right now!after seeing that, it kinda makes me disturbed! whenever i saw them banging the animals on the ground i was like i am about to turn it off but then i thought that i would TRY to watch it but them i saw them scraping the fur off their bodies and i had to close the video! that is so sad! they need to find better, safer, less painful way to take the fur off. BUT... i am strongly against fur being used for coats or rugs! it is just not right! i don't even think it is that good looking. it looks good on the animal but not on people!  people need to leave the animals alone! there there little abused animals!  QUOTE(mysticbreeze @ Feb 25 2005, 10:04 PM) Faux fur is just like the real thing only without the death.  in the video, that first animal they were skinning wasn't dead!

*sighs* That's depressing and inhumane... but it's legal to use fur and should be legal.

I don't see a huge problem if the fur is coming from animals that are raised for food, because all the parts of the animal are being used, and food is necessary.
But to skin an animal alive just for the fur? That's just cruel. |

That's just cruel. very good point. if people are going to be killing the animal anyway, that i guess it is alright. as long as the animal is dead before they start skinning it! but if they are going to be skinning it and keep it alive, that is cruel. (just as you said) |

i tryed to watch a little bit more of the video and it seems more like they are torturing the animals instead of skinning them.
