    Fur and Sporrans ?

    ** MODS if this is to much then please remove it **



    I was just wondering what the Rabble thought about FUR sporrans ?

    I have a goat hair sporran and I was looking into other fur sporrans but
    I watched a video on how the overseas FUR market gets there FUR.
    Grafic ** not for kids to see **

    I don't want to start a war or a big problem but , Man this is crazy
    I wonder how many sporrans out there have fur on them ,that was collected in this manner.

    This video had me in tears for the animals , I am not a protester or a problem
    maker , I am not saying don't eat an animal , but if they are being killed , it should be done Humanely right , not in the horrible manner they are being killed .

    Again I am not sharing this to start a Problem , just to ask the rabble to think
    about the next FUR sporran you buy . I will .

    ** Please dont make me out to be some - Protester
    I am just sharing something I found , to be upsetting to me .
    Thank you

    As with all things, knowing your source is crucial. Food, kilts, highland accessories, scotch, etc. If you know who made it, where they made it, and what they made it from, you can make an informed decision.

    Based on your original post, don't ever visit a slaughterhoue or a rendering plant unless you're already a vegetarian. Just sayin'...

    As with all livestock and game -- some animals are treated with respect and harvested as humanely as possible, and others are not. If that's important to you, know your sources and vote with your wallet.
