Honestly, with skunks being a nuisance animal and the price of pelts being so low, why do is no one trying to market affordable fur, especially considering the current awareness over the damage plastic clothing is doing on the environment. Clearly, at this point, ethical sorced fur should be more ethical than synthetic.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When are you idiots going to get
 a clue!
 Fur  from animals should be used instead of wasted! Animals die naturally for  reasons like weather, old age, parasites, starvation, etc. use them don&#039;t
 waste  their life or the resources
they give in their passing! Honor  them  and what they provide...Food, beauty, 
warmth clothes ! It&#039;s disrespectful!!!
 And while  I&#039;m  on my soap box  controling the populations of wild animals is nessacary for controlling disease  in the populations that can pass to humans, livestock, domestic dogs and cats, and  kill off while herds not just a few! Not to mention culling out excessive males that kill young, and breed females to an early death or make populations so inbred they cause more disease and generic defects! I love animals wild and domestic. I wear fur killed by me for food both farmed and hunted. I believe in animal well being such as clean living enviromets, good food, treated with respect, I am a tree hugger....however I also have enough education to understand you have to treat them with respect in their life and in their death whatever the reason! You have to control populations to help control negative outcomes in those populations! Wake up people.
 
Don&#039;t take life without using all parts of the animal! It&#039;s disrespectful! I&#039;m also talking to all you horn hunters out there killing deer to saw it horns n waste beautiful hides n meat n those that cut backstraps out n throw your deer in our hollers n roadsides! Animals provide
Good food, beautiful fur or leather for clothes, and bones for home deco or tools! Show some respect for any animal farmed, trapped, hunted, hit by cars, whatever the cause of death . It&#039;s wrong to disrespect and waste not 
to utilize! Get off your high horses and grow up your God put animals here to clothe, feed, protect, and help and or guide you whatever your religious beliefs. I don&#039;t judge... stop judging others and thank them for caring enough to use fur and all other parts of plants and animals instead of creating more pollution with harsh chemicals to make fake fur and materials. Love all gods creatures, show them respect in life, death, dispatch practices and use what they give you with respect, pride, and honor!]]></description>

We didn&#039;t intend to suggest that the only value of a skunk is in its fur. Sorry if you got that impression. As for their high numbers today, a major reason is that they are very good at adapting to the presence of humans, as are raccoons and coyotes. Over-trapping of some species historically has indeed presented problems, but they are all on the way to recovery today. In fact,beavers are believed to be more numerous today that at any time since European colonisers arrived.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think skunks are amazing, intelligent, and unassuming animals that don&#039;t deserve to be valued just on whether you can make a coat out of them or not.

In that Department of Agriculture booklet it said they used to be kept in barns to keep down the mice.  They eat a lot of insect pests too. Plus the only reason there are plenty of them is that they weren&#039;t hunted to extinction levels because they were worth some money like many other species.]]></description>

Genesis 3:21. God made clothing from skins. First chapter in the Bible. God was the first furrier. He didn&#039;t see a problem with wearing fur and did it him/her self. I don&#039;t see a problem with wearing fur. And as the Old Testament of the Bible is the basis for other religions all well (Judaism and parts of the Koran reference the Old Testament also), other religions don&#039;t have a problem with the wearing of fur.]]></description>

God is utterly irrelevant to this discussion, and has been for at least several centuries since this thing called &quot;secularism&quot; was invented. There are some places where wearing fur is still the best and only reliable way of staying warm, but the majority of Europe and the Americas are not among them. Wearing furs is purely luxury, and it has no place in fashion the same way animal testing for cosmetic use has no place in cosmetics. As a civilisation, we have outgrown this. We need to start taking care of our animals instead of killing them for our whims. This isn&#039;t always easy, or even possible (or veganism would be more widespread than it is), but with clothing, at least, we&#039;re good at making things that both keep warm and breathe. Even on the natural side of things, we have a wide variety of sheep and camelid species that can be shorne with no loss of life, and produce warm, amazing wool.

On a side note, it&#039;s incredibly hilarious that &quot;SJW&quot; now includes &quot;anyone with a concern for the sanctity of life&quot;.

You want to enjoy the beauty of furs? I can&#039;t stop you, but at least stop making excuses for yourself, especially ones as flimsy as to involve Jesus. &quot;I like wearing furs and I honestly don&#039;t care enough about animals to stop wearing something that makes me happy.&quot; Just say that and cop to it. I can understand it, even if I don&#039;t share that stance.]]></description>
