Is it inhumane? Eating meat isn't inhumane by itself. However the way animals are treated is in order to produce as much meat as possible for as little money as possible is terrible.
I'd love to wear fur, there's nothing like it. But it's wrong. (You'd think They'd have come up with a good faux fur in this day and age ) I'd love to kill some people but it's wrong. Some things are just wrong. Newsflash to righties, the earth isnt about *you*.
As for how that fur was "harvested" in South Korea for your bomber jacket....
Actually fur is still the warmest material. Warmer than wool in fact.
Fur does not always equate to animal abuse and torture. In the U.S. it generally does not.
For many people fur is not worn for warmth, but social status. The more I think on that the more bizarre it seems. Animals, in this case human animals, are a strange lot. It's primative in a way and that puts it into a bit of perspective for me.

Here is a list of SYNTHETIC sleeping bags sold by R.E.I., and rated for temperatures as low as ZERO degrees F. NO fur, or even down, involved.
You're right, it doesn't always, and the U.S. may have gotten better about it. But most of our fur comes from overseas, where regulations are waaay more lax, and we need to eliminate the market for that.
I voted divided but after reading and thinking more about it I would say that both are ok IF the process were to be done in a human way and NOT with animals that are endangered. I think out teeth alone show we were meant to eat meat but I understand people who don't.
Again I think either is fine if it were to be done in a human way unfortunately I know the fur part is not and that disgusts me.
