I personally would say no. because even though there cute the are really expensive and i bet you could find a pair of boats simalar that you would really like too. But if you really do love them go for it.

I'm all about being an individual and I mean uggs are cute but do you really want to buy something everyone else has? Uggs to me are a trend and will soon go out of style. Ed Hardy has made some cute ugg looking boots that are totaly cute and very unique. You should check them out!!!!!!

If you are seriously an animal lover, i'm sure after watching this video you will never want to set eyes on the boots.

Buy fake ones which are not made from animals at all. They look exactly the same and are still really comfy.

It doesn't matter if your an animal lover it only matters of you are a vegan. If you want them get them. They are warm, comfortable, and durable.
They don't kill for the boots. They kill for the meat.
Do you have to really kill the poor sheep just to make a pair of sheepskin boots?
The answer is YES. The sheep has to be slaughted to obtain their hide and fleece. But i must say that the sheep is not slaughted purley for the fleece. The primary purpose for the sheep is its meat for table eating. This is a huge industry in its own. The hides are used as a secondary means of revenue from the slaughter.
Now once the sheepskin hides are taken from the sheep then the process of preparing the hide for manufacturers and ensuring the hides are up to export standard begins.
Woolskins are usually preserved with salt prior to being processed by tanneries. At the tannery the skins are processed in large vessels called paddles which vary in capacity from 3000 to 15000 litres. In contrast to hide processing, in woolskin processing mechanical action is kept to a minimum in order to minimise felting of the wool. Rotating blades on the paddles move the skins slowly and gently, and processing is performed at much higher float ratios (typically 20-35 litres of water per skin) than are used in hide processing.
Typically it takes about 10 working days for the skins to be tanned and finished ready to be cut into panels for ugg boots.

well uggs are made from sheep, so they don't have to kill the seep, only trim them.
Ugg's are supper comfy, and depending on the styles, they're super cute! so, go ahead, buy some...
