Last class in International Business, we discussed modern fur trade, and it's late popularity. Modern fur trapping is quite different from how it was hundreds of years ago, however there are many alternatives to fur nowadays. It's been argued that we no longer need fur, and "the only one who needs a mink coat...is the mink"

I know this is similar to the "killing animals for art" topic, but do you think that modern fur trade should be legal, and if so, how closely should it be regulated?


**sorry if this is a duplicate topic, fur is shorter than 4 letters**

But what if the animal was eated afterwards? Would it be ok then?

They aren't skinning pets, and in a lot of cases (mink, etc) they are raised like livestock to later be skinned, and other uses.
