I like wearing my furs & I could really give a rat's azz if you don't like it.

I have a chinchilla as a pet and know how many of them it takes to make a coat. I find the killing of these beautiful creatures for vanity disgusting.
Shame...you could have the pieces made into a teddy bear(s), which would be a nice sentimental item.

would you be offended if someone made a teddy bear out of the hair of a child that was murdered?

Would you be offended if someone told you that your child was only worth 90 cents an hour and could work 18 hour days to ensure high profits?

Lets just get this out in the open...humans and animals are NOT the same. Big difference. I mean, REALLY!

If I get mice in my house how do I get rid of them, btw.

Havahart traps work well for me, and here is another option that got great reviews:

Amazon.com: Smart Mouse Trap - Humane Mousetrap: Kitchen & Dining

Actually though, we have cats, and our newest and youngest is very good at catching any mice that get in. I see him on the prowl, and when he has it cornered I grab the little thing by the tail and put it outside.

So what you're saying is one "must" wear fur so they can appear to have some social status?

Class: One either has it or doesn't...it's not something that can be bought.

Are you actually trying to be humorous regarding the hair of a murdered child????

I never stated that class was associated with a fur coat. It's unrelated to this topic.

I was referring to another poster's comments which was inferring that those with less wealth tend to wear them in order to look like they have money:
Quote:
The only women I see wearing fur are the poorer ones trying to look "classy". I live in a very wealthy area, and you just don't see the wealthy wearing fur.
In my opinion, for someone to state that wealthy people don't wear fur coats is kind of ignorant, which makes me wonder what events or places they are attending, if any at all.
