About boycotting fur One of my friend sent a message on the friend circle, she said, the government should kill all the people who wear fur. She is not alone in holding this opinion. It seems that wearing fur become a very sensitive thing in recent few years. When I was in university, there was a very famous DAF poster competition about fur, and we worked and discussed in groups, some of us think it is not necessary to boycott, but others think it is horrible to kill cute animals, and it is so cruel to wear the fur as cloth. Well, I think it is very extreme to let people boycott fur and hate those people who wear fur. I always believe, cloth is as important as food, it is one of the nature desire of human. In ancient time, our ancestor use the animal's fur to keep them warm. Today, we have cotton and other materials to make cloth, but fur still is a choice to avoid the cold. Some people may can't understand, because their weather is far too warm and lovely, try some place like Russian and north-east of China, you will understand the fur is very helpful to protect people from cold weather. I can't tell what is the difference between kill an animal to eat and kill an animal to wear. And I am disagree that some people think some animals like marten is too cute to make fur. The down coat we wear is make by duck's feather, I don't think the duck still can live when it lost all its feather... but what is the difference between a duck and marten, because duck is a normal animal so it is more deserve to die? Some website keep showing people the video about people killing martens, many people think it is very cruel, but I wonder did those people see how the other animal being killed, is that not cruel? I think to force people boycotting fur is as same as force people being vegetarian, people have their right and choice, it doesn't make sense. But on the other hand, I admit that the fur can be replaced by other materials today. And I believe kill wild animals to make fur for satisfying people's needs is definitely wrong. People says, no need, no kill. I AGREE. I think the best way to stop the immoderate kill, is to limit people's need. For example, rising the price of the fur product, limiting the number of fur produce every year, limiting the purchasing order, and as the same time, the related departments should let people know the drawbacks to harm wild animals.... I never buy fur, but I understand why people wear fur. What do you think? Is people in your country boycott fur?
