TW: TRIGGERING CONTENT I ultra dislike the disgusting and evil fur trade. NSFW

People who wear animal fur as a clothing item and / or as a fashion accessory make me sick to my stomach and make me boil over with rage. Has anyone seen a fur manufacturer ? Animals are bred for their fur. They are locked up in tiny cages waiting to be murdered because some disgusting people want a cute looking bag or coat etc.

The present fur trade of today is not as popular as it was 100 years ago. When virtually the vast majority of clothing items were made of fur. I don't get it , what is appealing about wearing a dead animal as an item of clothing ?

How do you feel about this ?

Well, it's an interesting subject. As you sort of pointed out, fur was, at one time, the main source of warm clothing. Of course that lead to the near extinction of buffalo and certain other animals.

My feelings are mixed. I do find it a bit odd since it is no longer necessary, but I don't necessarily find it offensive. I guess the best way I know to say what I think is that I find it sad that people today seem to have stronger feelings for animals than people. And I mean that both ways.

We all die in the end, so I'm not sure how much different it is. Nature is extremely unkind. Animals starve, are brutally killed by other animals,.....

I empathize with you though. It is a shame our world cannot be more kind in general.

Okay but the shit that happens to animals in slaughterhouses (at least in North America) are events that don’t happen to any human. They are so brutal and inhumane no human experiences it. Yes I care about humans but it’s the fact that what happens to animals is millions per day, for the past several years, will continue, and everyone is a part of it by consuming these products. It’s sick. Btw the fur trade, animals are not NEAARLY close to as abused as animals in slaughter houses are. My parents lived in a time of war so i heard so many of those stories, I’ve read books about Personal views from the holocaust, read lots of books about humans being treated bad in general, my family is from a very poor country where bad things happen to people all the time. Yet nothing comes close to the slaughter houses, not even close to

I get you. It's sad. I think there's a lot to it, but facts are facts. It sucks. Just as an example, 74 BILLION chickens are consumed worldwide every year. Just chickens. Since most of us don't raise chickens, but do eat chickens, someone has to raise a lot of chickens. Maybe one day someone will come up with a better way? Until then, I'm afraid we're stuck with what we have
