Animals Are Not Ours To Wear

[Mr. Smash'n Bash]

I believe that the more endangered the animal the better it will taste so I think I'm gonna head to India and shoot me a Manipur Brow-Antlered Deer.

 

[britrogue]

That's a very sick thing to say.

 

[Mr. Smash'n Bash]

I can't wait to sink my teeth into that venison.

YES THEY ARE!

He also hates women. He told me so himself.

 

[GarudA]

I find it unethical to eat or wear animals, that my opinion anyway.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

But why worry about ethics when you can look this good?

 

[SLVRSR4]

Have you ever stroked a chinchilla's coat? Softest natural material ever. Too many to make a nice coat though

 

[Shuley]

PETA can go F themselfs...What do you think the primates did way back when? Froze to death cause wearing animal fur is wrong? Hell NO! People have been wearing animal fur for millions of years since they evolution of man, it'll never change. PETA has solgans saying "I'd rather be naked than wear fur" Put that person naked in the North Pole with a fur coat in front of them,watch how fast they put it on. You or the animal? You'd chose yourself.

If we domesticate the animals and they are going to be slaughtered for food anyways then we should get the most use out of them that we can. Make their lives more meaningful than just the dinner on your plate.

I am totally against the slaughter of wild animals. We did not do anything to earn that right and modern hunting methods are not really "fair".

Shotgun + cougar parts + taxidermy experience = BEST CATGIRL COSPLAY COSTUME EVAR!

^Bloody hell... I'm not really a vegetarian, but some of this stuff makes me sick. These people have no respect for the dead and for these animals whatsoever. Eating them is one thing, but wearing their freakin' heads as a hat, or cooking them whole on the BBQ is just plain disgusting...

A shotgun would just piss a cougar off, and if you were close enough to use it you were cougar food, anyway.

For someone with the name "jaguar" you'd think they would be a little more compassionate towards animals.

Jaguars kill and eat other animals, though. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of sport or trophy hunting. I understand and have participated in hunting game for food and was taught to use as much of the animal as possible. I was also taught to respect the animal that gave it's life so that we could eat, and never to take more than I needed. Very in line with how the Native Americans viewed hunting, actually. But guys who run around with guns and shoot cougars and bears from 200 yards away like a Vietcong sniper for no other reason than to say they did and have a trophy to mount and stuff, I just don't get that. That's not sporting. It's chicken sh1t and isn't manly at all. If they want to be manly, take that grizzly bear on with a Swiss Army pocket knife. THEN I'll maybe think they're pretty damn tough. Human greed and the drive to "conquer" are where things start to go awry. You kill it, you eat it, so enjoy all that tough, sinewy, musky bear meat, Jethro. That's how it should be, anyway.

As far as more domesticated animals, the same principles of take only what you need and use all of the animal that you can still apply. I eat only farm-raised beef from my famiy's pastures. No steroids or hormones or even antibiotics if it can be avoided. The butcher we utilize sells the hide to wholesale leather procurers. The bones are used for meal. The organs donated to school science classes. I get chicken breast from a local poultry producer who shares those same philosophies. Same with the eggs I eat. There are ways to be an omnivore and be responsible about it. Humans are very wasteful creatures, unfortunately.

I just wanted to point out, not only did that very policeman-looking guy make a hat out of that cat, a hat in which he looks silly, but he made it look like a desert kangaroo mouse when it's on display.

And he's ever so much the *****e-bag for doing so, too.

Humans arent wild animals, and we don't need to kill animals to eat. That's the bottom line of my point. However, I know people will never change their ways unless something traumatic happens that affects them (mass spread of Mad Cow, or Avian Flu whatever). So cross your fingers!

 

[Darthphere]

Looks delicious.

No, we don't need to kill wild animals to survive anymore because we can RAISE our own animals for food, which is why I quit hunting quite awhile ago (I do still enjoy fishing, though). I am much closer to the whole process of raising animals with the intention of using them as a food source than most people are, however.

Yeah, you're right. In what place could he possibly wear that hat without getting laughed at? Charlton Heston's birthday party?

To me, cougars are good for only one thing - teaching people to drive.

"Control your heartrate, son!"
"I can't! THERE'S A FREAKIN' COUGAR ON ME!"

I just cant kill something that has a face and eyes to plead with me.

 

[Holly Goodhead]

Maybe if I put a blindfold on them...

 

[AnimeJune]

I just cant kill something that has a face and eyes to plead with me.

How do they plead? They're not sentient. That's part of the reason why I've never been against fur or meat - we're all animals, sure, but our entire lives aren't governed by instincts.

Besides - the way cows and such animals are domesticated now, we can't just left them roam free in the wild anymore, they'd have no idea how to live. And, economically, why should we pay to take care of them if we're not getting something (milk, leather, meat) back?
