Do you avoid wearing products made from animals?

Answer 1

Definitely! Made from animals, tested on animals, the whole lot.

Answer 2

I never wear anything with fur. I do not even want fur trim or a fur collar unless it is fake. I like wearing fake fur. I have to admit I do like it when I can find shoes that do not have leather in them, but so many belts and shoes have leather it is hard.

I figure that leather is a by product of the meat industry so it is not as bad as an animal that is killed just for its fur and not eaten.

I try to use products that are not tested on animals and do not have animal ingredients. I use a great deal of natural products and many of those products have no animal ingredients and are not derived from animal sources.

Answer 3

I'd NEVER wear fur. It's sick. People excuse it by saying that the animals were bred for that purpose. For one thing, a lot of them were caught using steel traps. They usually starve to death or gnaw off their own limbs (trying to escape) before they have a chance for someone to come and kill them. Even if they are bred on fur farms, it doesn't make it right. Faux fur is warmer, cheaper, looks better, and is easier to clean. Leather is pretty much the same. You're wearing skin! Another misconception is they use the beef from the cows that are raised for leather. Nope. The leather industry and the cattle industry are two different things, and it's not worth it to them to use all the parts of the cow. In my opinion, the only way it's acceptable to use an animal s if you use every part, like the Native Americans. And if the animal is killed using humane methods.

Answer 4

yes. My theory is that wearing clothing made from animals was ok for the cavemen because they had no other form of materials. Now we live in the age when material can be made from plats or with other methods. There is no reason to kill animals for clothing anymore. Even if you like the look of fur it can be achieved without killing animals.

Killing animals for clothing is wrong!!!!!

On the product side of it. I don't like the thought of animals suffering just to test a lipstick. People still can get allergic reactions to products even tho they have been tested on animals..it's individual. I think human products should be tested on humans... there are always people willing to do it

Answer 5

No way. Don't get me wrong, there is a right way to use animals and a wrong way to use animals, and many of the ways the are used to kill animals for food or for other products are just plain wrong. I would like to see vast improvements in the way animals are kept and the way they are harvested, but that will not keep me from using or eating them.

Answer 6

It's kind of hard too if ya think about it. I mean I try not to wear lots of real furs; but most Americans wear shoes that are made from leather.

Answer 7

No, but if you use products from Target or the grocery store, most of those dont test on animals anway. It doesn't bother me if they test on animals though, they are just getting washed, not like it hurts them...

Answer 8

Well I can't really afford items like leather or fur, etc. in the first place but if I had the money I still wouldn't wear them. I would go with the faux fur or pleather.

Answer 9

It's kind of hard to avoid. If I wear anything furry I make sure it's fake fur.

Answer 10

Yes, if it harms an animal, like fur and leather.

I dont mind wearing wool, though.
