A creature died for that wonderful fur coat the very least you could do is have a poopy pokey wank for gods sake

Only your head is a heartless cunt then

Well the animal has already been killed and skinned, I don't see the issue.

I've always wanted a proper animal fur rug for example, infront of a roaring fire. I don't see the problem.

I already have one that weights 8 stone he is called Lucky and he follows me into the kitchen too, it's so funny when i have visitors and the lights are off and im watching the telly, 1-2 friends will come sit on the sofa and then jump when they see this patch of darkness wander over to stare into their eyes for a biscuit

Canada Goose?

Put it on ebay, LARPERS / Renactment folks will buy it for the fur to make costumes from.

(alot of the community buy old clothes as they think its more ethical than buying 'new furs'. recycling and all that.)

You even recycled your post !

Good advice comes in twos..

Canada Goose?

Yeah, Chiliwack Bomber. Incredibly warm.

I fancy one but as we're halfway through winter, next year maybe. My North Face Mountain Jacket is probably past it, considering it's 14 years old

The problem is a lot of fur is taken from animals just for their fur. Some others aren't by-products. Some animals are skinned alive for their fur. It's complex.

Yar, should use the whole animal and only those that are hunted, not farmed for it, unless the animal is just for that(like cows, buffalos etc that have been used for eons like that). In my personal opinion ofcourse.

Mey had the right idea, if you want serious answers. Otherwise having sex on it seems like the first thing to do.

 

[Punishment]

There are some Minx fur farms near enough to where i live and the conditions are meant to be horrid, poor creatures stuck to the cages with grim and faeces

 

[Raven]

So long as some cunt doesn't go and free them all so they can decimate the local wildlife, like some ecotard did in the UK!

I don't agree with fur farms but I have no problem with fur itself, properly hunted or a by product of the meat industry...leather, sheep skin etc. I wear leather shoes and a leather jacket etc. I remember my gran always used to wear rabbit fur lined gloves in the winter. At one point she had home made ones (well, made by a friend who did that sort of thing) which lasted her years.

Obviously proper hunted stuff will be expensive but that's the price you pay!

Thats not fur then is it - else my eider down is fur

Did you leave your IQ behind in 2011?

I said the hood is trimmed in real fur.

Reading comprehension is over-rated.

I don't want to fuel a new industry, my point is, if the animal was hunted specifically for it's fur and is already dead, why waste that fur?

(really want a bearskin rub or a wolf skin cloak)

 

[Scouse]

Some animals are skinned alive for their fur.

Sounds like something PETA would say. Skinned alive?

Surely they'd wriggle too much? It'd be a lot easer to stab 'em in the brain first...

 

[old.Tohtori]

It's not actually, there are a lot(and/or some) of "non civilized" countries that just skin animals alive. Think it happens in some "civilized" countries too.

Completely disagree with that action, just to be clear.

 

[caLLous]

bearskin rub

Sounds norty.

 

[mycenae]

as others have said, your best bet is ebay, or depending on how good condition its in, posiibly an auctioneer or theatrical costumier who will take it apart and use it the fur bits to make new stuff.

My mum spent quite a lot of time in her younger days petitioning against fur and the methods used to obtain it, and I saw some pretty horrific film footage of how its done. For example, for the fur to useful, it HAS to come off in one piece and be completely unblemished....therefore handling said animal to dispose of it humanely doesn't seem to be an option. In a lot of the smaller animal farms (rabbit, mink etc) they put the animals into an airtight container and pump just enough gas in to make them go sleepy and limp....but gas is expensive so they won't use enough to kill them. Once sleepy and limp, animal is dragged out of box, SKINNED ALIVE (2 nicks into skin over hind feet, and the skin is pulled off like a glove) then animal dumped unceremoniously onto floor/bin. It comes to a few minutes later where its left to die over hrs or sometimes days with hundreds of other skinless bloody animals, that either die of shock, blood loss or infection.

I shit you not.

I would just like to add that my Gran's gloves came from locally shot rabbit, not farmed
