If it's raised to be eaten or shorn or skinned I have no problem with it. As I always say: if they didn't make coats out of minks they'd be extinct by now because they are basically vermin...instead, they farm them and charge beaucoup bucks for the pelts. I don't hunt. I do fish. I eat what I catch only once in a very rare while...I catch and release just about everything. I believe in good land and wildlife management and that sometimes means that you have to cull a herd or cut down some trees...I do believe that in these cases, however, we should be very conservative and err on the side of caution but sometimes Bambi is just going to have to get shot and that's that. I have no desire to have a sporran made out of anything that isn't raised specifically to provide skins...that's a personal perspective. Hell, they eat dogs in some other countries but here they're pets...well, for some people they're livestock but that's another discussion.
