Self-expression by means of killing an animal=sick/insane/morbid/physchotic/unstable/evil/loony... need I go on? Then again, opinions hardly matter anymore. Loonies will be loonies.
There's the healthy way of expressing ourselves and then there is the sick, unhealthy way. |

Killing animals for food: This is fine. It's part of survival. Humans were meant to be omnivores, hence the canine teeth and molars (sp)
Killing animals for clothing: This is fine. Clothing is a necessity. We need it for warmth. Killing animals for art: This is not ok, if you ask me. Possibly if the animal dies of natural causes... But to kill something just for you entertainment. I think that's disgusting. |

QUOTE yes anything can be art...a museam in australia showed a rotting cow cut in half... in germany there are preseved humans with their internal organs spilling out of their abdomen... and then art can be simple like a can of soup or abstract In the "art" you mentioned...if that's what you want to call it  ... The animals/humans were dead already (I am still against it), this artist's work is horrible because she KILLED the animals for it. There is nothing to justify the murder she committed.QUOTE Killing animals for clothing: This is fine. Clothing is a necessity. We need it for warmth. There are synthetic animal materials such as "pleather" and "faux fur" that are exactly like the real thing...without all of the murder of course....it is hypocritical to say it's okay to kill animals for clothing and not for art. QUOTE Self-expression by means of killing an animal=sick/insane/morbid/physchotic/unstable/evil/loony... need I go on? Then again, opinions hardly matter anymore. Loonies will be loonies. There's the healthy way of expressing ourselves and then there is the sick, unhealthy way. Exactly.

QUOTE(AzNbUbZ @ Dec 3 2004, 7:22 AM) ^ is it necessary to have 5 pairs of shoes? No, but I don't have 5 pairs of leather shoes. (Look, here's where I stopped talking about the 5 pairs of shoes. Pardon me for not putting in a paragraph. *paragraphs*) (Hey! Now I'm speaking to you in general. Isn't reading fun?) Are you saying that we shouldn't kill animals? That we should survive on tofu-burgers and soy milk until the animal population eventually and inevitably overwhelms us? Humans were born without fur. We don't have any natural protection against harsh weather. Animals protect us from that. I wear my leather shoes because they keep my feet warm, and yes. They do look nice. Would you rather that no one buys any leather shoes? That would be a waste of that animal. A pointless death. At least if the animal dies and its body serves a useful purpose in death, I don't see what's wrong with that. As for the art, well. It might be okay if the animal died of natural causes. Not if it died just for the sake of something gruesome to be on display. It's better than leaving a dead cat on the side of the highway. |

I didn't, PANDAMONIUM.
All of that response wasn't directed entirely at that "9 sentence question" QUOTE We do have have things to keep us warm like one of our biggest organs. the epidermis and fat ... just like otters. Okay, let's go romp around naked in the snow. |

No, but you said that we have things to keep us warm and protect us. What we do have is uneffective against snow and the like.. I'm just making a point. Animal hide protects our feet.

At least if the animal dies and its body serves a useful purpose in death, I don't see what's wrong with that. Though I am against killing animals in general, I agree that leather is not AS bad (though I am still totally against it) if the animal was killed for food (I am a vegetarian so I am against this as well), but many animal materials (i.e. fur, shearling, Indian leather, etc.) are not always collected because the animal was going to be killed for food anyway. For example: here Get it straight.

pandominium: human skin is not made to insulate. it's made to loose heat, and suited to african grasslands.

For example: here Get it straight. Wait, wait. I'm not sure exactly what you're proving me wrong about. I didn't say that all parts of animals were used. I said that killing animals is more forgiveable when it's done for clothing or food than when it's done to be put on display. When did I say that when animals are killed they're used for eating AND made into clothes? What didn't I get straight..? |

David Blane. when he stuck himself in an ice cube. lol even though he didnt complete the time. there are also people who try to climb mount everest. being up there is more cold than being naked in NY plus the people on mount everest have like 20 layers of protective clothing. |

The purpose of looking nice? Sure. To some people. But they don't serve a purpose that is vital to our survival.

Your mom isn't necessary for my survival. No one in your family is. Let's kill them all while we're at it.
Hey, we're not necessary for the animals' survival. The human race should mass suicide. |
