So which animals would you not eat? Just out of curiosity?
I eat meat, but make a point of only eating meat which is sourced from good husbandry, where the animal had an as good as possible life before slaughter. I haven't had chicken in a restaurant or from a takeaway in years as it's impossible to get them free range.
As long as the animals have been kept in good conditions, I don't have a problem with it, I've even eaten horse meat on several occasions, and would do so again, as it is really tasty.
- And I can only recommend Hugh Fearnley Eatsitall's River Cottage Meat Book for some background reading (and tasty recipes)

I work at Lush Cosmetics and it has really made me aware of animal rights. However, though I do realise eating meat is natural for humans..Most of the time the animal is killed as quickly and as kindly as possible whereas skinning them alive just for vanity purposes is sick and should be made illegal.
skairdykat said:No way!!! They are skinned alive and just because it says rabbit fur or what ever doesn't mean it is. It's well known that they use cat and dog fur and label it as something else. And they don't use the rest of the animal as food, it's just left to die after being skinned then burned. Totally barbaric Have you ever watched the undercover vids from china of the poor animals? It would put you off for life, they are treated terribly.

I am used to it since childhood, its cant compare to any manufactured material warm wise and in countries where it gets up to -30 C its a neccessity. (Not in Britain though).
Carina said:And, talking overall, fur (legally sourced) is much more enviromentaly friendly then any manufactured Primark and any other high street piece of clothing (not that I dont mind any of those )

if you don't want to discuss the wearing of fur,perhaps starting a topic called "real fur: yes or no?" and asking for opinions isn't the best way to go
