This is the first I am hearing of lambs being used for coats. I've seen lambskin lining, but never seen a full coat.
The video doesn't really surprise me though aside from the premature lambs which I have never heard of before. I don't wear fur for many reasons, the animals being one of them and as far as I can tell, this is pretty much the same as other animals being used for fur.
I think the main objection is not to what they do in uzbekistan but an objection to America and Europe giving the demand for the pelts. It seems to me that it's not a cultural thing, but a buissiness that they are profiting off of due to american and european fashion.
Not to get into the middle of a fray but is there a difference between that and what is done to produce shoes, wallets, handbags, saddles, etc. Does it make a difference in the quality of life if the animal is 3 days or 3 years old when it is butchered?
No, I don't think so iridehorses.
Personally, the only leather I use is my horse equipment. I just don't like it in general. I don't use fur products but I'm not going to pour blood on someone who does. I don't really see a differance between the lambs and cattle being used for leather.
Honestly, I am more against animal products for fashion than food. But like I said, I am guilty of having a leather saddle.
Question though: Is the leather used to make wallets, shoes, etc off of cattle killed for food or are they raised like the lambs for leather? I really have no idea about that.
With the not born thing -- Wouldn't it be difficult to produce enough lambs to make a coat like this if you are killing the mother too?I wonder how they pull that off.
I refuse to own anything leather or anything that has fur (unless its alive of course)
Even my tack is going to be all nylon, or pleather (like wintec).
Cuz they get used. Coats? Come on, use synthetics. Especially since these are babies (my mothing instict coming out). They toss out the bodies, at the very least they could use the meat. It's just such a waste.
Not everyone wants to use sythetics nor should they I see nothing worse about lambs then calfs and think just because someone likes one product over another its then acceptable. To me all species are equal
All species, fine, when you have children should I kill their mother and skin your baby for my new coat?
Not all species are equal, watch what you type.
It seems as though all you want is an argument.
Seems to me the one picking a fight is you not me. When I said all species I'm talking livestock not people. Skinning people is illegal I in no way advocate doing illegal things animal or people I honestly never thought I'd have to explain the difereance between livestock laws and people laws.
BTW I have children, 3 to be exact also 8 grand children. But no I don't think you should skin anyone to make a coat. Rather silly queastion you asked don't you think?
Like I said I really see no differance between the lambs or the calfs from cows going to fast food places in the U.S. other then maybe somethinking since its a product they use its then fine? When I was in Korea they ate dogs many people thought it wasteful that the U.S. kills millions of them every year, burns, buries, or grinds them up then boils them to a liquid and uses them in household products. Its a huge world out there and thankfully not all places do things the same way as others.
I wouldn't have so much of an issue with the lamb for coats thing if the meat was used. I mean seriously, put the whole animal to use, such a waste.
I have stated my position on meat before, I am no vegan. I also do not live in Korea, if I did then I might care. I don't though, so I dont really care to hear about another country or their practices.
This is a forum, and when you type stuff people cannot always tell what you mean so you have to be specific, and you seem to contradict your self consistently. If you're not, well sorry, but thats how it seems to me.
I am leaving a thread I started. Thanks.
I think she meant she does not live in a country where it is common practice to eat horse/dog/other commonly domestic type animals. She does however live in a country where it is common practice to wear fur. So the country in question is killing the animals for America (amoungst others)
I was responding to a post made to me. Or at least I thought it was?
