What do you think of people who wear fur coats, Does it bother you or it doesn't?


It does bother me a great deal, Everytime I see someone wearing a fur coat, there's no way to tell whose skin they're wearing. I've heard stories about China how they hanged, and strangled cats and dogs. As I remember watching that horrified story on HBO. :(
 
of course i don't like it but if animal died by natural or accidently than murder, that understable.

yea true i agree with u.. sigh..
 
I don't like fur coats and refused to buy one either....
 
STILL hate taking peel their animal skin away ...

Should take human skin peeled away and put on their fashion ? NO

Prefer equal same!

But I understand eskimo who living COLD place all the time.. their okay for wear kept warm...
 
I had a blue fox coat. I was cleaning my Dad's closet. I did not remember that I had that coat for years. I said, yucky why I bought it years ago.

I planned to give it away when the time is right.
 
Yea it bother me but I used to have one that was belong to my exh's mother who passed away. My exh stole it from me. Jerk his sister gave it to me. GRRRRRRRRR!!! I wanted to keep it to remmy his mom for his sister's sake.
 
Well, to be honest, I LOVE fur coat, but won't dare wearing it or I might get ugly scare from people for wearing "dead animal skin." From what I see, most people nowadays that wears animal skin coats are leather instead of longer fur. When I was a teenager, I used to wear a different colored rabbit fur jacket. Very soft!
 
WEll for myself it would bother me alot cuz it cause me sneezing too much if i am around someone wearing it.
 
I've never seen any Americans wearing domesticated cat or dog fur coats.

I assume that people who refuse to wear fur also refuse to wear leather.
 
I think in today's world it is wrong to make fur or leather anything. We have other ways of keeping ourselves warm and our sneakers dont have to made of leather. In the old days when people skinned animals because they had to survive, it was a different story. Man has evolved though and no longer needs an animal's skin to survive the way it once did. If I can help it I try not to make purchases with leather. I will not buy fur. We should make attempts to respect all life. I understand that we should use all parts of an animal when we slaughter it though..which is why so many things are made with leather, from cows. It can't hurt to be more resourseful. It's so wastful to wear fur, and it's cruel.

I don't think we need fur coats, for several reasons: often we do not use ALL of the parts of the animals those coats are made of, which is wasteful. Also, we do have the ability to make faux fur to get the look without the sacrifice of animals.

Leather, though...I see that one differently because we also eat beef and drink milk and have a lot of other uses for the parts of a cow's body. There's far, far less waste. I take more of a Native American view that sometimes we must kill, but when we do, the only respectful thing to do is to avoid waste.

I recognize that some believe in a vegetarian diet, but I do not--I don't think I'd get a balanced diet without meat and dairy and products like that. The other thing is, I believe that I will give back what I owe, in a sense, when I die. The materials that compose my body will go back to the Earth and other life--many creatures, I hope--will benefit from me just as I benefitted from previous life. In death I will have paid my dues to nature and it seems fair.
 
I've never really understood what's appealing about fur coats.

So would you wear a coat made from "accidental" road-kill fur? :D

This time of year we have a lot of racoon and possum fur available on the highway, and it's FREE!

I really don't like fur coats/hats but I do have a fur hat in my closet. I never wear it just because when my great grandma died a long time ago when I was younger, my grandma and the whole family went to my great grandma's house to clean up, all of us got stuff separated and nobody want the fur hat so I decided to keep it because I didn't want to throw it away since it was my great grandma's hat. I never wear that fur hat ever so I just kept it in my closet.

I don't feel comfortable to wear that because it is from animal you know?
 
I don't like to see ppl wear fur coat it turned me off. One time saw one of my friend on her msn nickname said her hubby got her fur coat so I asked her is that real fur coat? she said no it is fake fur coat.. I told her still I dont like to see if it is fake or real fur .. I am against fur coat. my family wont wear fur coat. :)
