The EU executive has decided to buy time pushing back to 2026 a decision on whether to introduce an EU-wide ban on the keeping and killing of animals for fur.
As much as I’m not letting my steak or chicken to vegans I really don’t understand why the fur business is kept alive. Who the fuck has the shit taste to wear that? And can afford it? Eating a cow I can get but skinning ferrets no fucking way.
Yeah… definitely a close 100% overlap. The thing is, as much as I loath them, I don’t see shit I can’t do against them that wouldn’t land me or mines in troubles. So even though I hate them with all my guts for the ferrets and much more I wonder; what can I do?
The most obvious one would be voting for politicians that want to shut that shit down nationally? Discussing it in a negative light, help out making anti-fur become the default stance? Talk to people you know that are pro- or on the fence?
Very good points. Hard ones though. I’m from Belgium and we have elections next year. I have absolutely no party to vote for. Either they are advocating regionalism, corrupt as fuck, housing religious extremists or supporting the class divide. All assholes; it’s literally just choosing my poison, bit in the end you still fucking die.
I’m trying to talk to the few person I have around me but I’m starting to sound like an old angry & sour guy.
Well you could always do like more and more people do and just check out? Take care of your own shit and wash your hands of the evils of the world - Don't participate in "democracy" by voting.
Not caring at all is always easier than caring more than the average person.
Chinese people. Fur is largely exported. In any case: "glass house and throwing stones". Your steaks are a taste thing as well. In both cases you have animals killed for something you like, not something you need. Especially since the cow is likely skinned for leather as well.
Not the fur farm side of the industry but actual trapping is still done but as a means of controlled population management for furbears. Specific species like beaver have a tendency to continually grow their populations as many places we've extirpated all natural predators.
That makes zero sense, if you're collecting data then you don't take action as that spoils the experiment. If you've collected the data then you know the results and should start fixing things.
At no point during this situation is there a decade or so for populations to 'explode'.
Ew. 'Sampling' as killing now? And 'furbearers'? Animals are being killed by humans, for fur. Using different words just shows how uncomfortable people are with what's happening.
