	I always find it a bit of a poser 'cause I wear leather,suede & sheepskin. If the fur is a by product of another process it may as well be used??

	Fur only looks good on animals. No need for it, theres plenty other things around to wear. Maybe if they saw how the animals were treated they would change their minds about it. Marion

	If I am honest there were some fur farmers that treated their animals very well and killed them more humanely than a slaughter house..... but some were just atrocious..... don't think the pictures of the foxes will ever leave me!!

	No Way, think it's horrible, plenty of good fake furs that look real now, don't even like those. Hilary

	I've eaten rabbit once it tasted fine, but I don't like the feel of fur anyway. A workmate once bought in a silver fox fur, it felt disgusting, I like my fur over warm moving things like my cat.

	No!! I wear leather but its a by product from meat so I can live with that. to rear animals purely for their fur is a disgrace.

	I don't wear fur, either fake or real, but my Nan had an old mink stole and it felt absolutely wonderful.................an old lady she worked for gave it to her. No idea where it is now though.

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 5,136 Send Message	Never worn fur cos I've never been able to afford it lol But, if I could, I still wouldn't wear it. Lindy, never eaten rabbit, but wouldn't dream of wearing it neither. xx

	I have to admit I had my grans old fur coat and I did wear it In the 70s,as soon as I became aware of how it came to be I got rid! It makes me shudder now to think I wore it!
