lol fur wank

I don't see the problem with most fur TBH. Not endangered or protected animals (that's not cool), but recycled fur (vintage, it exists) or even rabbit fur doesn't bother me. Honestly, I don't get how so many people can wear leather and don't think anything of it but get upset about rabbit fur. They're both domesticated animals killed for clothing and food.

Also, synthetic fur and leather are made of petrochemicals which are very harmful for the environment.

If you don't want to wear fur, fine, stop MORALIZING and talking down to the rest of us.

I have a pair of gloves lined in rabbit fur for when it gets cold. Nicest damn pair of gloves I've ever owned. They keep my insufferably cold fingers warm on the coldest of days and are incredibly soft. I hate it when people object to the use of rabbit fur because rabbits are cute. Yes, they are. They're also quite tasty and useful.

My sister found a white rabbit fur coat in a Goodwill for $10, softest thing ever. I don't know what happened to it... I guess she doesn't wear it that much because she doesn't want to deal with people bitching at her about it (even though it's vintage -- it's not like the animal is going to come back to life if you don't wear the coat)

When I lived in Russia we all wore fur because that's what kept you warm and looked great. You want to lobby for more humane treatment in the fur industry, fine. But if you're killing animals for food, you can kill them for clothes.

Who is "we all," exactly? Because I'm Russian and I've abstained from wearing fur once I was old enough to understand the suffering that it involves.

So if "we all" includes your family, fine. But lol, no, not all Russians wear fur because it "keeps us warm and looks great."

Slaughterhouse conditions are terrible. But ripping the skin off of something while is is still alive and then tossing it aside to slowly die is an altogether different level of cruelty. Especially if it involves hundreds of animals to make one lousy garment.

"We all" included, pretty much, everyone that could afford fur. Granted, this was a few years ago, maybe there's been a huge PETA uprising since I was last there.

I'd really love some citations (from a reputable source, not PETA's shitty website or something) confirming this whole RIPPING THE SKIN OFF WHILE THE ANIMAL IS ALIVE stuff I keep hearing

Re: lol fur wank

[identity profile] bleed-peroxide.livejournal.com 2011-11-30 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
There's a documentary called Earthlings that shows footage of that among other things. (No, it's not at all sponsored by those PETA fuckers.)

This is on a Chinese fur farm, but it's FAR from being the only place where this is practice. It's a lot cheaper and quicker to rip it off an animal while it's alive than possibly dirtying the fur by "humanely" slitting its throat and letting it die before removing it.

Obviously, disturbing content.

You might dislike PETA's tactics and that's fine. But they do have moles who go into fur farms to capture footage of the suffering animals endure. So, I'm not sure why would find that video footage not credible.

The most recent story that came out about skinning animals alive for fur (to my knowledge) is this one. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/04/racoons-fake-uggs_n_994973.html/) You can search around for the particular video that inspired this story. I believe the Humane Society has it available.

The person who posted above me also seems to have linked to an informative documentary, which I have not seen myself. If you really want to learn more, you're free to Google the subject for yourself.

I don't really want to buy a fur coat (my own preference), but if I was traveling to the poles, I would probably get whatever I could to keep warm, ngl. :/

And, if I had hand-me-down furs, I might wear them, depending on where I got them, but...

IDK, it's just such a weird thing to think about. I know that if I ever get a motorcycle, I'll be looking into a set of leathers, so that I have some protection (though buy the time I actually get a motorcycle, there might be a better synthetic option), but other than that...

Yeah, I agree with just about everything you are saying in this comment. I think. IDK, it's time for bed, but it makes sense in my brain right now somehow.
