Reason why you should never eat "Foie Gras", because those animals are tortured to death just so that their fatty livers are served in some rich madam table.

the anti-fur material often used (whick -link- linked in this thread too) originates from China. in the western fur-indrustry the methods of killing/skinning are much more humane. in China animal rights don't really exist , and people don't know better than to skin animals alive.
fake fur doesn't compare to the real thing.

This is a complete twist of some of our point of views. Human beings have both instincts and traces of animals who eat both meat and vegetables. We have fangs to devoure meat and incisives to cut vegetables. Eating meat is part of being a human being, some manage to go against that and turn into vegetarians, but it is almost impossible to convice all humans to give up on eating meat. While some of you say humans can be strict vegetarians, that's not true unless you take vitamin suplemments. If a human being decides to go strictly vegetarian (and not take the suplements), they will have serious health problems as vegetables can't sufice all the metabolytes a human being needs. That would be a serious problems in poor countries, in which people don't even have the money to buy such suplements. Comparing eating animal meat to wearing fur is completely absurd. You can wear or do several stuff to avoid the cold, that doesn't involve torturing animals. I'd agree with a few exceptions, on which human beings with little resources, living in cold places, actually need the fur as meran of survival. These exceptions are rare, specially if you compare the ammount of animals killed for fur for futile fashionable reasons vs the ammount of fur used for survival, and aren't a justificative to think it's fine for pompous ladies to exhibit their fur in order to show off their fortunes.
And I don't care if faux fur has worse quality. Wanna wear fur, use faux. The fact faux is in worse quality doesn't still justify using real ones, because that's a very futile reason.
