I don't really have feelings on this one way or another (yeah wishy washie what can I say) but its called supply and demand...people do have to make a living, possibly where they are this is the way they do it and not much else is available, so ya do what ya have to do to feed your family. There are vegetarians out there that think the same of people that slaughter cows, pigs, chickens....and then there is someone out there that think the same of vegitarians (for what reason I'm not sure) but it can go on and on. You can even go on to say the same about just about anything that anyone does, because basically you can find something leading to something else that is gonna piss someone off.

btw...glad to see ya bg...*hand shake* there really are some good people here, ya just gotta look.

Well damn, I should have read your reply first <laugh inserted here>

One more thing though, cat fur does make good gloves just like rabbit fur

Alrighty, is it really mean? And why is a single person allowed to make the choice for all. That's best left to the majority I'd think. But notwithstanding (is that proper english?), all that, was it okay for mankind in the beginning to want to stay warm once they realized their own skin wasn't going to offer the proper warmth once cold settled in and to see the various animals out and about in the dead of winter suffering no ill effects it seemed to think that duh, if I were to wear that I might not freeze to death thus began the killing of animals for their fur/pelts. Granted that at some point and then many times thereafter some killed out of control just for the cash values and damn the meat they could have provided, and before someone goes on about that, most animals can and do provide a tasy treat while some such as muskrat is so rank that killing a muskrat is wrong since it's meat isn't the best to eat, yet said muskrat is a varment and carries critters and illness to humans so kill them all as far as I see it, and this is my opinion which I have a right to and you your own.
So we as a more knowledgable perople have learned from our mistakes and now attempt to not kill off some animals without giving thought nor care to the future so some "raise" this or that type of animal for the sole purpose of their fur thus raising the question of, is that moral? Okay lets break it down some.
Do you (speaking in general now so ease up) eat meat? If so, shut up abot the fur trade cause your eating meat raised for the sole purpose of killing them for it so you don't go hungery.
Do you wear a belt wtih your cotton pants? Two points here, first the belt is most likely made of leather, thus an animal, usually a cow was killed for your belt, so shut up again. Second and this is for those that refuse to eat meat cause your so whimpy about killing that poor animal, you eat plants?
So your a veggie eater and all's well in your world you say. Not so said the group that says the mass murder of plants, which are also a living thing, that grows from birth to it's teenage years to adulthood just to have their roots hacked apart from some mademade hunk of metal and tossed into a boiling pot of water. Oh the humanity of it all!! They don't even have a mouth from which to scream their tiny veggies voices. And what aobut those that go so far as refuse to wear a leather belt or leather shoes and wear only those things made from, dare we say it? PLANTS!!!!
Don't you think the cotton plant is a living thing? Doesn't it have feelings?
I could go on and on about mother nature and what is alive and has feelings and abot the rebirth of it all, but that might go into sex, plant sex and we can't breach that subject on this thread so I won't.

Guess I'll go eat some ground up cow and some veggies simmered in peanut oil and then put on my cotton twill pants and try and not hear the screams of the animals and plant life that were murdered just so I could eat and stay warm.

I couldn't of said it better.....

I've no idea why nor do I want to know the why's of it but in HS one of the science teachers wanted us to know how to tan hides so he brought in some "rabbit" pelts and we cured them. Mine turned out pretty decent and afterwards I took it home to show my Dad seeing he was from the south and I was all proud and shit that I'd done something a city boy didn't usually ever do, so ......... he took a look at it and started to laugh. Being crushed that I'd messed up I asked to his reasons for doubling over and he said something to the effect that maybe next time I should try a normal animals hide and not a cat pelt. Seems the teacher couldn't "obtain" the proper pelts so he somehow, and no I don't wish to know, got enough cat hides to teach us how.

Damn I'm bored now <weird grin>
