+391 Animals should only be killed to provide food. It's ridiculous to kill them for things like clothing when you can get it easily without harming any living things, amirite?

I agree but maaaaan leather is nice.

Food, I agree, except for factory farms. We should get food from them without torture.

Yeah, that bothers me too. They should just kill the cow with something quick and painless.

Umm no...like CAK - contained air killing. They take all the oxygen out of the air so the animals just fall asleep very peacefully and are killed. They don't feel anything.

Yes.

You can get food without killing animals just as you can get clothing without killing animals. Anyone who is against leather/fur but eats meat is a hypocrite, plain and simple (with a possible exception for endangered species).

JW, do you own sheepskin boots, leather gloves, suede shoes, etc.?

They don't need to be killed for food either. Humans can do just fine without eating them. Just saying...

When you kill an animal for food, those are the animals they make clothes out of. It's not like there's two seperate groups of cows.

Not to start any vegetarian debates, but it's pretty natural for humans to eat other animals. We've been doing that for thousands of years.

We've also been wearing animal hides for thousands of years, what's your point?

It's not like they have a farm for cows to make leather and a farm for cows to make meat, it's the same cow, they use every part of the animal. To not use the skin would be a waste. Now killing foxes and minks is another story, but there are certain animal skins that are acceptable since you are also eating them.

YES. If you're going to kill the cow/sheep for meat, why not use the skin to make clothing? If they didn't use it, it would be such a waste.

How do you make clothes without killing a living thing? Cotton is alive.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah I was about to say... What about that poor innocent cotton?

I would agree but then again, humans are naturally herbivorous, even though we can eat small amounts of cooked flesh. So we don't need to kill animals for food either.

just to make it clear, obviously, when the cow has been killed for it's meat, use the remaining parts to make whatever. but when they kill animals that aren't being used for food(and meat is necessary for a healthy diet imo) like seals,bears, foxes... etc. it's just inhumane
