Owning a fur coat which was made from an animal bred on a farm for the expressed purpose of providing fur is the same thing as eating a chicken which was born and raised in a facility that raises chickens for sale as food.

99% of all the species of animals that have ever existed on Earth have become extinct - almost all before man came on the scene.

Some species die out and new ones take their place. That's called survival of the fittest.

Yes, there are many endangered species...however..fur coats are not the cause! I am not a fan of fur coats either, but most of the fur people wear is from animals bred for the purpose. These animals are treated with cruelty..and this is why many people are against fur. I think you need to do some more research. The MOST common cause of endangered species is habitat destruction!!! Second would be poaching. Just to let you know...extinction is a natural occurance in nature..HOWEVER humans have sped up the process to an alarming rate. We really have no clue what problems this exceleration will do to the ecosystem. We could very well be causing the extinction of ourselves by messing with nature.

Should endangered animals be saved? Every single species has a potential for extinction and millions of species have already gone extinct without any interference from humans. Humans have also been the direct cause of several extinctions including dodo birds, Tasmanian tigers, and passenger pigeons. Was it wrong? Of course it was, but could we have saved them? Probably not.

Currently polar bears are in real danger of extinction due to human actions. Thousands are starving to death every year and the numbers a declining at such a rate that humans likely will not be able to stop it. But should we make heroic efforts to save them, maybe not. Without their natural habitat, polar bears will need to be artificially supported throughout their individual lives. This means either the bears end up in zoos(much like what has happened to pandas) or we would have to track each bear and make sure that each one is getting enough to eat every day of their lives. And, someone would have to be responsible for killing seals to feed to polar bears.

Polar bears are declining because they are not able to adapt to their changing environment quickly enough. If we can stop polar melting they would have a chance but if we can't do that then it is better to let the species pass into history than it is to put them all in zoos eating horse meat for the rest of their lives.

The same is true for all endangered species. If we can't fix the main problem that is causing the extinction then it makes no sense to preserve a specie by dooming that species to live in an unnatural state.

Would you keep the last passenger pigeon in a cage to preserve it from extinction or let it fly free for it last remaining days?

As far as furs go....I think wearing furs is gross. I hate how they shed and make my nose itch. Give me denim over fur anyday!

There are plenty of endangered species being saved all the time. Bald eagle is now off the endangered list and has made a huge comeback. Now I don't think people should wear real fur and I don't. There are plenty of other clothes and fashions that don't involve killing for fur.

Btw... answers is not a place to go shouting your environmental views.

Why could we safeguard animals that won't be able to even safeguard themselves? Waste of money Ignores human suffering yet it would be superb to guard the endangered species from transforming into extinct, it’s a organic capacity of evolution. The “fittest” doesn’t remember on regardless of if a species is powerful, enormous, or crafty vs. those which at the instant are not, “fittest” capacity people who're adaptable and able to passing on their genes to offsprings and etc. attempting to maintain species that won't be able to proceed to exist in its environment from time to time technological expertise isn’t appropriate and Nature is in simple terms inexplicable and previous our administration. No experience in ignoring suffering contributors of our very own species and meddling with different endangered species. It’s unrealistic to maintain each animal. There are extra pressing issues (SE Cupp) some thing new will crop up, as continually. We wouldn’t be right here if the dinosaurs have been nevertheless alive many of the critically endangered species not impact the nutrition chain by way of fact of its cut back in numbers. Of the numerous animals that qualifies to be on the endangered species checklist, in straightforward terms a million% incredibly taken out of it. 40-one,415 species are on the endangered species checklist, so what impression is our billions of greenbacks spent on attempting to maintain endangered species doing? Why can’t we in simple terms enable it flow? That’s the circle of existence. Animals who won't be able to adapt to their changing environments die. I understand that the intentions are reliable, yet haven’t we performed adequate at manipulating nature? i think of that saving animals isn't something extra desirable than human beings s tries at attempting to administration nature, properly, extra so than we've already got.

The reality is that very few species have actually gone extinct. In fact, it is very hard to make a species extinct.

Many environmentalist tend to be romantics and want to save every single insect, at the cost of human well being.

Example:

the ban on DDT killed more than 20+ million people due to increased malaria infections, but saved a few birds.

Don't forget that we're discovering new species every day that we never knew existed.

I love animals, but we really don't have much effect on what goes on on this planet.

If you're trying to find people and things to hate, there are a lot more things to worry about than that. If you must hate, direct your hatred towards those who wish to destroy our way of life and work towards improving your own area of the earth.

Hatred never helps anyway. It just eats you from inside.

The American Alligator used to be endangered, and now are over populated in some areas. There's now alligator hunting season with a bounty for because they have become a nuisance in some neighborhoods. Ironically, these neighborhoods are in the same locations these reptiles used to live, so who is a nuisance to who? Anyway, alligators have made a huge comeback since being endangered.

99% of all species of life on this planet are now extinct. Pork tastes good, fur is warm, and people get in my way.
