Watch Out for Designer "Faux" Fur

[Disneyphile]

My personal belief is that nothing should be killed just for its fur. I believe in using as much of something as possible, otherwise it's wasting life.

I do own pieces of rabbit fur - rabbits are a common food.
I also have no problem with leather, lambskin, deerskin, pigskin, etc.

Pretty much, if it's being eaten, I don't care. I understand that some countries eat dog and cat. That's fine - please use the fur too, because then there's really no waste, but don't lie about what it is (hence the article).

I hate seeing mink anything - I know mink is not eaten. Same thing with chinchilla, etc. Those are the furs/skins I'm against.

Also, don't friggen skin something alive. At least put it out of misery first. Nothing should have to suffer.

So no American made meat for you then? No eggs?

I don't have a problem with animals being killed or eaten. I have a problem with an entire industry that is founded on cruelty. It's unavoidable. Even the eggs that say "free range" come from chickens who have had a good portion of their beaks burned off (and yes, beaks are very sensitive), and have a 7 inch square of dirt to themselves. They do have access to the outdoors, if they can squeeze past the other chickens to get through the small door. I could go on and on...

I wish I was an emaciated vegan. I'm just a trying to lose weight vegan.
