Just curious about what you all think when it comes to wearing fur.

Personally I'm all for it if vintage.

Just scored a gorgeous fox fur vintage headband that I'll wear tf out of this winter (trips to big bear and Colorado planed).

I have several friends that are vegen/vegetarian and very outspoken bout it. But its like...I eat red meat. Regularly. So I don't see a problem with wearing fur, leather, etc. Especially if its vintage ya know.

Thoughts?

I feel like killing animals for food = necessary. Killing animals for their fur = unnecessary.

Personally, I'm nauseated by it.

Hunger over comfort.

What if you live somewhere cold kills (not me obvi)

These are not Medieval times. We have much better fabric for warmth than fur.

We also have non-meat food stuffs that give complete protein, and yet I'm still eating meat 🤷

I don't think it's necessarily wrong to buy vintage pieces that were ill-gotten or made, like ivory or fur, but I'd probably avoid it. *shrugs*

Do you have leather products in your wardrobe? Car seats leather? Couch leather?

Whoops animal had to die.

Thats why this fur thing is kinda funny to me. My vegan friend flipped her shit when she saw my fur headband but when I pointed out her brand new mini coupe has leather seats... lol she didn't like that comparison.

Do whatever makes you happy and feel great! Everyone will have an opinion about something lol

Too true haha

I just find the fur issue hilarious since its been touted so much, thanks peta.

But people who are strongly against fur due to animal cruelty will also have leather in their life... so its like huh?

My gbff had no idea his sheepskin rug was made from actual sheep skin. He thought they shave the sheep and attach it to like vegan leather or something lol. I shattered that dream for him. Yo a sheep had to die to keep your feet warm.

Yes, I do. I'm not a vegetarian either, though we are contemplating it right now. Why did you ask the question? lol Are you going to become a pro-fur advocate or do you just want to feel okay about your purchase?

I feel great about my purchase. I will continue to wear fur.

Just the attitude towards it from certain friends of mine sparked this topic. Interested in hearing opinions out there.

fake or real, i think it looks tacky.

My tastes are getting more tacky as I age lol.

Used to be understated af
click to expand


lol. for context i'll add that i am a vegetarian but you're absolutely right about the leather thing. i have leather boots. i take medicines which no doubt were tested on animals. i use glue which probably has pig in it. my life style contributes to the death of animals all the time.

my objection isn't moral. people are entitled to make their own choices if they want to eat animals or wear animals.

for me it is purely an aesthetic objection. leather doesn't look like a cow. a fur coat looks like the furry pelt of an animal. but because it is aesthetic, who i am to claim to be the final judge on what is good or not. i'm no anna wintour.

if you like it, enjoy it.

I wonder of the dog knows it's dog fur. It probably doesent care as long as it gets treats

i suppose it can probably smell that the jumper is the same smell as itself.

what i don't understand is why knitting with your own dog's fur automatically means you have to make some ill fitting, ugly arsed item of clothing with it.

Lol isn't it funny how we latch onto something as a society to obsess over?

Lately here its been plastic straws. Everyone is either giving paper straws or no straws at all.

My gbff kills me because he's so adamant about NEVER getting a plastic straw but then will order to go on the regular and trash all that plastic.

At that point... a straw here and there isn't gonna make much of a difference. Js

OMG, Don't even get me started on the straws!!! Lol

What gets me is that for one, they should go in the plastic to begin with, problem solved.. But two, people are now out there buying metal straws and washing them.. like ya'll never thought to just wash and reuse the plastic ones you been buying for fkn ever!? Use your damn brains people. Like no one ever thought of washing a fkn straw till they came out with metal.. that is not transparent and likely full of mold.

The metal straws kill me.

The only time I'm using a straw is for a mixed drink when I'm out somewhere. I'm not gonna whip out a metal straw and then put it all used and dripping back into my non-existent purse lol.

Its like the plastic and paper bags. Grocery stores be like...they are bad for the environment so we are no longer giving them out for free! You must buy them for 10cents each. Ummm ok. So your telling me your still giving them out then...

Fur is rude. I feel.

Unless you legit used every single part of that animal to sustain you. Like the natives do. Then it’s ok.

Farming animals to slaughter them and rip their fur off and throw their bodies away is rude AF.



Hmmm. So you view it like the buddists. If the death was humane, eat up.

So if we are all native vibes and use every part then its kosher?

What if the fur came from an animal that died of natural causes. Pc then?

I'm with you on this.

They have collapsible metal straws with little cases that you can put in your pocket.

For some people straw usage is serious business. According to FB comment sections, there appears to be a nationwide epidemic of people who are physically unable to drink without a straw.

I think the condition is called Imstillafuckingchilditis.

I need a straw for my mojitos. Can't be getting mint stuck in my throat. If I'm spending $ 14 for a cocktail you best get me my straw!

I own glass straws. I’ve actually never bought plastic straws though. I only got the glass straws for making festive drinks and wanting to reuse them. But I am somewhat conscious of the plastic straw. I don’t use them when offered to me at restaurants and they’re still in their packaging 😄

I've never bought them either.

But now I have to get my caramel macchiatos upside down cause no straw = no caramel in the mouth.

The local kill shelter here re purposes the fur and carcasses.

The sell the fur to local clothing shops.

They grind up the carcasses and make dog food for the other dogs waiting to be put down.

lol

People fooling themselves if they think these furs are coming from situations where the whole animal was used in some sort of responsible way.

I've been to a few of the shops to look around.

They definitely aren't informing the customers that the fur scarf they bought, was re purposed fur from "Buddy" that was abandoned three weeks ago.

I use a lot of fur and feathers in my fly tying stuff.

I try my best to use stuff where the animal was wholly used or as I said before is a pest.

I no longer use fox fur or tails because coyote is a good substitute.

Finnish Raccoons and Nutria are both pest animals and need to be killed to protect native species. I'll use that.

Deer tail and hair are from animals that are further used for food. No problems tgere.


Aside from raccoons and coyote's what else do you consider pest animals?

Huh you know animals are skinned alive and lived usually in cages and in terrible conditions somewhere in China? You might wanna watch some vids. Don't think you'll wanna wear fur anymore it's a reality. You can ignore it but it's still real.

Compare this to an animal who lived happily in a farm and then went to the abbatory?

It's not comparable.

I like big fur coats like those sexy 60s stuff even if it's vintage I'd never wear them because I don't wanna encourage people to accept it as normal. You're wearing cruelty on yourself and it's out of pure vanity. The world is enough fucked as it is. We should make our world better not make it worse. There is enough suffering and shit with plastic and forest fires and stuff.


Well those forest fires you reference are started by farmers clearing forest to raise beef to meet the Wests taste for steak and burgers (primarily the us). So its a slippery slope when you start bemoaning whats bad for our environment. Unless your living that vegan, off grid life style ... we are all out here contributing.

Our wastes are being dumped onto other countries shoulders (china being on of them) to process and sort. Those people are suffering from being exposed to our chemical filled trash and waste. But I don't see the PETA group out there championing those peoples quality of life.

Personally I'm not a fan of Chinese made products in general. I have zero issues wearing vintage fur sourced here in the us. I sleep very well at night. Could be the xanax but I digress 😂

Nutria, squirrels in some cases, Canada geese, moles, muskrat in some cases.

It depends on the circumstances. A squirrel in the woods isn't a pest. Squirrels in the city that keep cutting power to entire city blocks when they gnaw on wires or get into transformers are.

this is a common argument either when talking about eating meat, buying apparel made in sweatshops and now in this instance, wearing fur.

the problem is that you assume that your moral outrage will be shared by people if only they had the same information that you do.

the thing is they do. it simply doesn't matter to them. you can't force people to share your world view. there are some people you might persuade but others? they just don't feel about these issues the same way you do. even when provided all the logical and reasoned arguments.

Did I say we should throw our hands up and do nothing? Never said I felt guilty either. Don’t be putting words in my mouth just cause this topic triggers you.

I personally find it ironic that if the animal is cute and cuddly people don’t like the thought of killing it. But those same people get into their leather seat cars and buy burgers with money out of their leather purses and wallets. Like, same ish.

Huh you know animals are skinned alive and lived usually in cages and in terrible conditions somewhere in China? You might wanna watch some vids.

this is a common argument either when talking about eating meat, buying apparel made in sweatshops and now in this instance, wearing fur.

the problem is that you assume that your moral outrage will be shared by people if only they had the same information that you do.

the thing is they do. it simply doesn't matter to them. you can't force people to share your world view. there are some people you might persuade but others? they just don't feel about these issues the same way you do. even when provided all the logical and reasoned arguments.

Who says I wanna force people to share my world view? It's a free world. I know this. Thanks.

Huh you know animals are skinned alive and lived usually in cages and in terrible conditions somewhere in China? You might wanna watch some vids. Don't think you'll wanna wear fur anymore it's a reality. You can ignore it but it's still real.

Compare this to an animal who lived happily in a farm and then went to the abbatory?

It's not comparable.

I like big fur coats like those sexy 60s stuff even if it's vintage I'd never wear them because I don't wanna encourage people to accept it as normal. You're wearing cruelty on yourself and it's out of pure vanity. The world is enough fucked as it is. We should make our world better not make it worse. There is enough suffering and shit with plastic and forest fires and stuff.

Well those forest fires you reference are started by farmers clearing forest to raise beef to meet the Wests taste for steak and burgers (primarily the us). So its a slippery slope when you start bemoaning whats bad for our environment. Unless your living that vegan, off grid life style ... we are all out here contributing.

Our wastes are being dumped onto other countries shoulders (china being on of them) to process and sort. Those people are suffering from being exposed to our chemical filled trash and waste. But I don't see the PETA group out there championing those peoples quality of life.

Personally I'm not a fan of Chinese made products in general. I have zero issues wearing vintage fur sourced here in the us. I sleep very well at night. Could be the xanax but I digress 😂

So, we should all just throw our hands up and not care about any issue or try at all? Really? Just so you get to wear a headband without guilt?

The reason we attach ourselves to certain animals and not others is that some animals were specifically bred or specifically evolved as companion animals and some were specifically bred for food/product purposes.

I think there IS a hierarchy when it comes to which animals we value above others in terms of life or death because we've created that bond.

Like no sane person has an emo bond with a chicken. It's just a small velociraptor that would kill you and eat you if given the chance. Fuck that. Fry those fuckers up.

lol obsessed = 5 messages.

what i can say? hypocrites with no courage of their convictions wind me up.

and when without logic and reason to explain your point and you've run out of passive aggressive affectations to have the last word, you scurry away throwing final empty accusations, closing the door behind you so you don't have to defend them.

Birds freak me out too.

See I point out something similar when my vegan/vegetarian friends wanna get feisty and shame me for eating meat.

If it wasn’t for human intervention these animals wouldn’t exist or would look much different. They were bred for human consumption. Literally.

People in China eat dogs and over here we’re all wtf how inhumane. While India is over there giving us the side eye 🐄

So I agree, it comes down to what we are culturally/socially conditioned to accept as pc.

No it's not the first time we talked and you always seem super aggressive and crazy without no reason. I ain't got time for crazy bitches like you. Now you're muted so keep typing lol. Take care girl 🙏

for someone obsessed i dont even remember you.

for someone who is ignored, i still seem to be read.

if i'm aggressive to you it just means you have a long history of talking shite.

girl, hun, crazy bitch, mental issues etc. if you actually had any merit to your point you wouldn't need to resort to those sorts of terms. it may work with kids in the playground. it has no traction with me.
