In terms of leather- Would you rather waste it? In terms of otter fur, in deed, otters are still attempting to recover. I wonder what's worse, that, or the less obvious entirely unquilty way of killing them. Pollution, Environment Destruction, Global warming (Don't even get started- There's clear, solid, 650,000 yrs of evidence it's the gases)... We all contribute, many more then others. Are you doing your part to save that? Or merely thinking some other part of the world is doing all the destruction, but you, must fight for furs. To me furs isn't as big of an issue, but puts attention off larger ones. sorry I'm not trying to attack you. "You" refers to anyone.
