YEah, I love how you keep making these generalizations that are totally inaccurate. I have no problems with people in Alaska trapping furs for their own purposes. However, I do have problems with the fur industry overall, and most especially fur farms.
I don't like factory farms of any kind. They are horrible polluters to the groundwater. As we've seen from recent food scares, they are dangerous. They're horrible neighbors. And, the treatment of animals is shameful.
Just because we eat animals doesn't mean that they shouldn't be treated in as humane a way as possible.
As far as banning hunting and fishing, why on earth would we want to do that? I live in the South. Most of my neighbors hunt and fish, my dad hunted and fished, I fish, my boyfriend fishes, and my kids fish. We're responsible stewards.
I know, as someone who grew up on a farm, the difference between farm practices that are responsible and respectful of animals, and those that aren't.
Why don't you try arguing the actual topic, instead of creating strawmen. *yawn*
didn't you are your ally make a massive generalization about the fur industry
I didn't say you want to ban hunting-I am saying those spearheading the fur ban movement want to ban hunting and fishing
