It's not for the weak-hearted.

sure; fur has no purpose now. Synthetics are much better at insulating.

i have no fur; i wear no fur.

but i support fur, because fur is part of nature... i don't like that much synthetic stuff.

i dunno... the idea of a cabin in the woods with a bed covered in furs just sounds like a much better place than this synthetic world.

i don't like the killing. i think rich people who wear furs (although i have yet to see one) are stupid. But it's the idea of fur- our ancestors wore fur. real animal fur has this texture that isn't in fake fur- this idea that i like.

morally- furs don't make sense.

but i dunno... fur just appeals to some part of me.

but then again i'm talking more about skins, like deers skins/ moose skins.

i think it'd be cool to have one of those as a rug.

not becasue i like the look; because the idea of a fur rug makes this artificial world feel more natural.

You don't like the killing but you like the idea of materials made out of animals?

How is fur part of nature? In nature, things happen naturally, like for example plants growing. Would animals skin other animals in nature? No...

i saw the pamphlet when it came out on the peta site, and i found it much more disturbing than anything on tv. the cover was a drawing of a bloody woman with a knive killing a rabbit, and inside there were actual pictures of animals being killed. i don't know what shows you watch, but i don't see anything that bad on tv.

If Peta sugarcoated everything people wouldn't react to the ideas they were trying to convey. Yes, graphicness is disturbing but that's what's happening in this world. What are they supposed to draw pictures of little happy bunnies on the pamphlets or something?

you have a point, but i just think that's extreme, especially since they were handing them out to little kids at nutcracker shows in december. i know it's the truth and they want to tell these kids what's going on, but i feel that that's taking it way too far. seeing pictures of dead animals as a child would have freaked me out more than made me feel sorry for them.
