					<description><![CDATA[Dean, I have been to a mink farm and I was actually surprised at how well the animals were kept. Perhaps you are the one that needs to visit a farm, to see what they are like?]]></description>

Hi Rebecca,

Is this how animal rights activists operate? You can the media for what you think is anti-fur articles and then post comments? Perhaps you&#039;d like to consider reading the articles, first. Then you would have realized that my article, as well as this website, is pro fur. 

I will be writing to Vince to tell them I support their use of real fur.

					<description><![CDATA[Sorry, I don&#039;t believe in animal rights.  I believe in animal welfare.  If an animal dies to feed a family or to make a garment that is environmentally friendly and will last for generations then it died for a good cause.  Everything dies, if you have a problem with that talk to GOD since He made it that way.  Or have some nutrition MEAT and your brain will work better and you&#039;ll feel better. NO ONE is for animal abuse.  If an animal lives a decent life and is then killed for a good reason I don&#039;t call that abuse.  https://www.womenshealthmag.com/food/side-effects-of-vegetarianism]]></description>

A few last comments:

1) vegan numbers may be rising, but carnivore (or, rather, omnivore) numbers are rising much faster...for two main reasons: (i) as incomes rise in developing countries, their consumption of meat and dairy increase rapidly; (ii) the increasing availability of responsibly sourced meat brings many vegetarians back to the steakhouse.

2) I hope that we are ALL against cruelty to animals.

3) Even your vegan fare requires the death of animals; birds and rodents are killed by the threshing machine that passes through the fields; rodents and insects must be controlled or their would eat the veggies before they get to you; and on it goes... like it or not, this is the way this world is made.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Your comment is clearly heartfelt, but perhaps somewhat misinformed?  Yes, we have many wonderful synthetic fibres, but most of them are made with petroleum, a non-renewable resource. Fur, by contrast is produced sustainably; if we protect natural habitat we will have fur long after the last oil wells are emptied.  The modern fur trade is, in fact, an excellent example of sustainable use principles promoted by the World Conservation Union (IUCN).  It is also important, of course, to treat the animals we use in a respectful and humane fashion; in TruthAboutFur you can read and hear farmers, trappers, veterinarians and biologists explain how these concerns are addressed in the fur trade.  None of this will reassure you, however, if you believe that no use of animals is ever acceptable, even for food or vital medical research.  One last point: the fact that most people do accept the responsible use of animals does not make them “mean”.]]></description>
