I don't think that it matters to the animal if they are being killed for their meat and by-products, or 'just' for their fur. Nothing wants to die.

I use animal products (meat, leather) and have benefitted from the deaths of animals (Rh shot, surgery, and probably many ways I'm not aware of). What I want is for those animals to be killed humanely.

@PenneyT very well said, thank you for this post.

@2blonde and @Noel7, please refer to post #26 referring to the Manitoba (sp?) mukluks, along with the handbags.

Some of us do need to eat meat to survive, and human bodies are designed to process eating meat, from our incisor teeth in the front to our highly developed digestive system.

And we've been eating meat for thousands of years, that's proven.

That said, I admire those who choose not to eat meat, it's just not something everyone can do.

My post was deleted as well as your attached response to me. Must have been the "gif." Sorry.
Anywho, I did get a chance to read it before it was POOFED!

We can all agree to disagree. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. That being said, on my mother's side of the family, real fur coats & fox stoles are handed down from mother to "eldest" daughter. My mother is 92, so I am still waiting for her fox stole. I am already on my 2nd fur coat as I gave my fist one to my 43 yr old daughter on her 21st birthday.

I don't know why we were deleted, I thought we respectfully had a discussion with maybe opposing views, but we sure weren't ugly to one another!

Oh well, far be it from me to question moderation!

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

No reason in this day and age to wear real fur. I'm not a vegetarian...and I use leather products. But I would never purchase or wear real fur.

The fake options are fun, pretty, and warm.

I don't care one way or the other. I haven't had a real fur in quite some time ... but I wear lots of faux.

...killed humanely.

Riiiiight.

I question anyone that doesn't have the soul

to see the end result of that statement.

If you like "death" to taste good even it's

only momentarily in your mouth, just own it.

A death is a death. For your pleasure only.

Humans, throughout millions of years in many different cultures & religions have been surviving on the practice of not eating animals or their byproducts. God wouldn't design 'some of us' differently.

Cut any of us open...and we're all the same.

Just as a FYI regarding the line that Evine sells -

It's a company created in Canada which features materials provided by First Nations peoples, i.e. Native Americans in the US.

In Canada (and I believe probably in the US, not sure) First Nations people are allowed to hunt and kill any animal, even protected species, because native people kill *only* for food, and use *all* byproducts of the animals killed for clothing, shoes, cooking/heating oils, etc. They do not kill for sport or profit and would never condone doing so.

From the FAQ at their website:

"Manitobah Mukluks produces, designs, and sells traditional Indigenous footwear. For thousands of years our people have been using leathers and furs to create beautiful and functional footwear and we are proud to carry on this tradition. The furs and leathers we use are by-products of the meat industry. We are essentially taking a material that is considered ‘waste’ and utilizing it to make our moccasins and mukluks like our ancestors have always done."

Not all of their products use real fur; they use faux fur as well.

Life without Mexican food is no life at all

I stand by my statement. There are humane deaths and torturous ones. I like eating meat, as do millions of other people, even in cultures that eat very little meat, most eat some.

And I hope you've never benefitted from a medical procedure, because most were practiced on animals.
