Does no one here wear leather? I don't wear fur, but I have some snakeskin purses.

Most animals used for milk, eggs and meat are raised in let's say, non-ideal conditions, so I honestly don't know why fur is singled out. Is your dog's food cruelty-free?

This is not to say you can't be against fur unless you are a full vegetarian -- we all have to start somewhere. But let's maybe cut people some slack, even if they have different philosophies on animal rights. You can be against the practice without demonizing the practitioner. In this case, the OP indicated that he is from a different generation and correctly pointed out that attitudes towards animal rights have changed drastically in the past few decades. We can't expect everyone to be on the same page yet.
