Do you believe animal fashion should be illegal?

but all fashion is stupid

Leather from cattle, and hides from other harvested animals, can be a byproduct from hunting/farming animals for food, and then I do not mind using them for clothing or other.

I raise animals for harvest, and I butcher my own as well as butchering for others from time to time. I make sure that all parts are properly harvested to be put to use. This includes hides. even let some weird goth chick come pick out bones, I don’t know what she does with em. Art maybe.
Large scale operations don’t always bother to do this, because it is very meticulous and time consuming.

I’m a dirt-worshipping tree-hugging barefoot hippie when it comes to wildlife conservation and proper animal care and respect. I absolutely love critters, wild and mine.
Killing animals solely for fashion, like minks, chinchillas, foxes, exotic animals, endangered or critically important wildlife, is absolutely abhorrent. And should be illegal.
Utilizing animal material that would have otherwise been wasteproduct is good practice.

I like the government staying out of most things. Im not usually wanting the government to come in and force people to do stuff. Thats a very european thing to do.

I own a few things that could be considered that. I own it cause it's warm as fuck in the winter. But purely for fashion is pretty fucked

In an industrial sense, as fashion. Yes I believe it should stop. For those who live off the grid and use all parts of the animal, it is a ceremonial and respect thing to use all of the animal.

It depends, personally I believe that if the animal was already dead (like you found it dead or you hunted it for food) then it’s okay because it’s life wasn’t taken just for the sake of making fancy clothing. I do think that killing an animal specifically the make clothing is wrong, especially if the animals are being bred for the purpose of looking pretty (Look into fox fur farms, it’s pretty sad)

I say why not? It's just another part of an animal. You are using the entire animal in said process, no waste. If you have to kill an animal the least you can do is use the entire thing.

That being said I want a bear Cape.

Skinning them alive should be illegal, yes. Wearing furs n' such should not. I don't think the animal cares whether it's dying to feed you or clothe you. It's still dying. It's still on a farm. Humane treatment is key, but I'm not going to write a treatise against fashion while eating a hamburger.

No. Proper use of animal skins, pelts, and other body parts is a normal part of life.

However, as a person who raised rabbits for meat in my childhood (we also sold them to people looking for pets) I insist on cages or pens with adequate room for them to live a decent life and humane treatment and butchering.

I have no problems with mink and other furs; but am horrified by the mink farms that pack hundreds if not thousands of mink into very small cages with a constant smell of mink manure. That's not humane to me.

Now admittedly, if the mink (and other) "farms" created humane conditions that meet my ideas of humane treatment that it would probably triple the cost of mink, ermine, and other furs. That's OK in my book - mink, ermine, etc are a luxury item - and the wealthy do not really care what something cost as they have the money to buy it. I'm not going to cry if they have to spend another $3000-$5000 for a mink, ermine, or other coat.

I'd also require that the meat be used as food from such butchered animals. I assure you that many homeless and other shelters would love to get good quality fresh meat if they cannot find other markets for it.

No, unless it is painful for the animal. No, I don't think all animal fashion should be illegal. But slaughterhouses? Yes. You better not eat meat, OP.
