I'll repeat this point: why do so many people consider fur to be acceptable? Do you guys know nothing about the process of obtaining it? Because the idea that you do know about it yet simply don't give a sh**t is really too disturbing.
'
Hello? 60 (!) people voted that this is acceptable.

I voted acceptable on the assumption that there are probably ethical ways of obtaining fur. This might have been a dumb assumption, and if it is, I'd change my vote to unacceptable.
I'd say that yes, there are morally acceptable ways of obtaining fur, but almost all fur on the market isn't actually produced ethically (as ssuperflash said, the animals are skinned alive), which is why I generally consider buying clothing made of animal fur to be morally unacceptable.

In the same way, I don't think eating meat is necessarily wrong or morally unacceptable, but since nearly all of the meat that's on the market right now has been produced in morally problematic ways, I refrain from eating meat altogether.
Not everyone necesarily believes in the concept of animal rights, either
