Does Ayu wear real fur?

But they still are in many places in the world and by many companies, it's not like an animal is killed humanely by default just because it's for food.

Because 1) they are all animals being killed 2) The animals only know they are not allowed to live anymore, REgARDLESS of which type of animal it is.

So from an animal's point of view this is what's going on if it's killed without torture.

Killing animals just for their fur would then not be animal rights issue. are you still following my way of thinking?

Now what function does killing it JUST for its skin prove? Does it make us better? NO it’s just an image. And I think it would matter. Put yourself in that situation. If you had a choice of being killed just because you look so nice that someone wants to wear you. Or would you rather be killed because you might give someone a chance at survival?

I see your point, but it's not about ethics regarding animals rights. Also I find it hard to measure of how much importance one thing is to another person. You can also live perfectly happy as a vegetarian. You do not have to eat meat. It's not requied to survive. And let me tell you, there are people in fashion wearing fur that do not eat meat (or eat a lot at all, but that's another issue). Fur bring aestetics and other qualities that, and how much value that holds to another person is not up to you to decide.

Yeah, but then again, you are putting one animal's value above others. Who are we to put the line of which animals we're allowed to kill for "superficial needs" and which animals who are worthy of not being killed. And what is superficial needs? Is hunting game ok? Sure the meat is eaten, but it's not neccessary to eat wild meat to survive, and there's absolutely no reason to go hunting. How'bout lobsters? And then again the silk worms for silk. All are living beings.

On a different issue, I see how throwing away half of the animal just because we're only using one part of it is a waste and contributes to pollution etc.
