True, but if the animals are being culled legally or one gets killed for being aggressive, why waste the fur?

I do not have an issue with the harvesting of materials from another industry, such as leather from the beef industry, since beef is an important food source. I have serious reservations about raising animals for just their fur. No different than the ethical arguments against killing elephants for their tusks or a rhinoceros for it’s horn.
I have in the past and to this day still wrestle with being a carnivore. Were meat, especially bacon, not so darned tasty, I would have been a vegetarian decades ago. As it is, I still eat meat. I am also mindful of the animals and from where the food comes.
