do you think that we should ban fur???

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY!!! Why should an animal suffer just for ones vanity. In Canada they slaughter baby seals for their pure white baby fur. They hit them on the head and then proceed to skin them alive. How cruel can anyone be just so someone can look good at the expense and pain of an innocent and helpless animal? Furs should stay on the bodies of the animals.

Answer 2

No but we should improve the conditions in which the animals live and the means of killing them for their fur.

Anything that makes as much money as the fur industry won't ever go down due to any group or number of animal rights people. It's a waste of time and effort to attempt to stop it and the energy would be better spent improving the lives and methods of death for the animals.

Electrocution of mink via anal probe is horrid but cheap and fast. Some mink farmers due to public pressue are using a much more humane and painless gas chamber or injections such as veterinarians use to euthanize out pets even though it is much more expensive and time consuming.

They won't ever stop- too much money being made by too many people and the status of wearing fur I don't think will ever go away anytime soon.

Answer 3

No. Instead of thinking in what you know, think of people that live in severely cold climates. Fur is a natural insulator, and helps protect against the elements, better than most things. Or should people living in cold places just move, so we could ban fur?

Answer 4

No.

In America you have freedom. NOT "freedom as long as nobody gets offended".

The traditional legal maxim has been "Your freedom to swing your arms in the air ends at the tip of my nose." That means that as long as you do not INJURE or ENDANGER another citizen you, as a free person, are free to do what you want.

Notice that the rule is "INJURE or ENDANGER" not "Offend". The other part of it is "CITIZEN" not animal or plant.

You have no more right to tell me that I can or can't wear fur than I have to tell you that your skirts are to short, your T-shirts to tight. Should we ban the sale of make up to all women under 21? Should we ban halter tops? Should we ban tattoos? What about body piercings?

Answer 5

no, we want to skin the animals alive.

The more pain they experience, the more valuable the fur will be.

look at the video. Doesn't the puppy look nice without its fur and in agrony, having a slow death?

No matter how we debate, these practices will still go on.. Is there a rule saying that we can only support one campaign?

Answer 6

God killed the first animals to clothe Adam & Eve after their disobedience & downfall from the Garden of Eden so no, I don't think we shoud ban fur. I'm more upset by the killing of innocent human babies than I am by farmed animal babies. I think we should ban abortion. But that takes away from a mothers "right" to control her own body right? Well, don't take away my "right" to cover my freezing body with warm, beautiful fur. You want to tell me what I have no right to take an ANIMALS life to cover my body but that I have the right to take HUMAN life out of my body. Does that seem logical to anyone at all?

Answer 7

Why? Is it any more cruel to kill an animal for it's fur than for the rest of it?

Answer 8

No, animals would get cold without their fur!

Answer 9

My dog would be really upset. He likes his fur!

Answer 10

NOPE

If someone wants to eat meat that shouldn't be ban either.

Or if someone wants leather boots.

Or if someone wants to eat veal

PETA needs to just go away.
