67. THE FUR DEBATE
Anne: I think people should not wear animal fur. I read an article about how animals are cruelly hunted and
killed for their fur. Also, animals at fur farms live in
cages that are small, crowded, and dirty.
Paul: Well, I
disagree. The conditions at chicken and pig farms are no better. So if you think that way, you
should
stop eating meat, too. How is killing animals for their meat different from killing them for their fur?
Anne: It’s the way they are killed. Unlike pigs and chickens, these animals are often beaten to
death or
skinned alive. Some animals are badly injured by hunters’ traps or left to die in pain. Also, we need food, but
not fur, to survive.
Paul: People living in cold areas need to wear warm clothes to survive the cold.
Anne: They don’t need fur to keep warm anymore, since there are other materials now, including fake fur.
And they’re not the only people who wear fur. Many people wear
it only for fashion, and I don’t think it’s
right to kill animals just for the sake of fashion.
Paul: Okay. How about looking at it this way? If the animals are killed for food anyway, why waste their fur?
Anne: I think you’re getting fur confused with leather.
Animals killed for their fur, like mink, are not usually
eaten by humans.
Paul: Well, there are two sides to every debate. Let’s think about this some more and talk again later.
