Only 17 more days until Halloween, which means best parties of the year are coming up! I guess I should find a costume...
I found a mask on Etsy that looks incredible, however I'm having a bit of an ethical dilemma over it. It is made with salvadged fur, Does this mean that the maker used for lack of a better word "recycled" fur?

Well fur is disgusting and one of the biggest crimes we humans commit against probably some of the most helpless and sweetest animals there are, which is why I am completely against it. However, the maker stated that she used salvaged fur due to this reason, but I'm not sure if that makes things any better...
If anyone ever reads this, what do you think?

Here's a picture of the mask if ayone's wondering.

ps. if you haven't checked out etsy you should, it's a pretty cool place for hand made stuff.




pps. This cat is awesome

I am against fur objects completely, because if the animal is killed purely for their fur, it's wrong, no matter where the maker got the fur from. If it is "hide" where the animal is actually being eaten like here in South Africa hunting is big thing (I am also against that) but every part of the animal is being used, which kind off makes it that 10% more acceptable ... arg look at me carrying on. Sorry I don't think I have an answer. frown

Don't worry, I think you gave a great answer. I agree with you, I don't feel comfortable with fur no matter where it came from. I'm not a vegetarian and don't disagree with the idea of wearing hide as clothing, but my biggest "beef" with the food and specially the fur industry is the way these animals are treated and killed. Death is a part of life, but the pointless exploitation and prolonged suffering of innocent animals disgusts me. I think we might be closer to coming to a conclusion than we think.

Also, great to meet you Skyla smile There's no better way to meet someone than by having an intelligent conversation!
