Do you buy merchandise from businesses that sell animal fur? ok ,heres the thing...
Marshals Sells Fur. I am opposed to skinning an animal for their fur. - unless it%26#039;s a by-product of a food source- (iow -use it all or leave it alone)- did you know that deer bones are hollow and you can make jewelry and stuff with them. I wonder what windchimes would sound like?...

aaanyway... but just to kill something for its Value (you know kind of like what Bush is doing in the MiddleEast) is disgusting to me,

But yet.. I buy Leather.... from Marshals. I suck.

I probably do. Honestly, I don%26#039;t agree with killing animals for fur, and I would never wear real fur, but I never really think about the leather part. I guess I%26#039;m a hypocrite, too. I shop for clothes at Kohl%26#039;s and I%26#039;ve been to Marshals many times. I would think that some sort of leather product is sold at just about any store that%26#039;s reasonably priced. And since I%26#039;m not made of money, Laurie... I gotsta provide for my family somehow. If that makes me a hypocrite, then so-be-it.

  • no way!
  • No i don%26#039;t buy things with real fur
  • Absolutely, and I personally own fur lined gloves and down filled jackets. Also leather shoes, gloves and jackets. I also eat meat. Fur and down are natural products that can and are produced in a sustainable manner. They are also the best insulators know to man. Synthetics simply cannot match their effectiveness.
  • NO
  • YES You need more meds MORE MEDS....
  • Fur is the most environmentally friendly winter coat you can buy. Synthetic insulation in clothing is made from petroleum. That means drilling for oil, diverting oil from the energy supply and it is not biodegradable. When your fur coat is worn out it will decompose naturally. You can throw it in your compost pile and add it to your garden soil. Try that with a fleece or gore tex jacket. Fur bearing animals are a renewable resource. Oil for making your plastic clothing isn%26#039;t. Just in case you didn%26#039;t realize it, nylon and polyester are plastics. Fur is not as evil as you think.
  • Nope, I%26#039;m a vegetarian here.
  • yes you suck and you should%26#039;nt buy fur i have never bought fur
  • hum..... sometimes,, yeah ,,, i feel bad dough
  • I disagree. I love to poach deer and just hack off their hooves, which I use to make stew. The rest I leave to rot, because blowflies and maggots need to eat too.
  • yeah i just dont buy the fur that they sell?
  • I didn%26#039;t know Bush was killing Middle Eastern people and skinning them for their fur. Where did you hear this? He must be an avid hunter to go all the way to the middle east to hunt, kill, and skin Iraqis for their fur. Before you can blame Bush for the war in the Middle East, you need to stop driving your car altogether. American citizens are responsible for the mess in the Middle East. If everyone only used their cars as much as absolutely necessary, and stopped driving like damned fools and slowed down a little bit, the whole mess with the US needing so much oil would be a LOT less of a mess. It%26#039;s not just the government%26#039;s fault. It%26#039;s the fault of every American citizen who couldn%26#039;t care less about anything except what they want right now.
