Should hunting and killing animals for sport be banned?
Should hunting and killing animals for clothes be banned?
Is it ok if they are treated and killed humanly?
In a western 1st world country should we wear animal fur regardless of how it was treated or killed, are we justified in taking the lives of living creatures to make ourselves look ok? When in truth we don't need to kill these creatures to survive. Are we honoring and respecting nature if we kill for fashion and sport when in the UK there is really no need we have substitutes in place? Also as 21st century pagans is it no hypocritical to be involved and support these ideals? Considering our general stance on nature?
What does everyone think of these questions?

YES, without a doubt....It's cruel and it messing with the whole ecosystem.....
Should hunting and killing animals for clothes be banned?
YES without a doubt.....With plants like Hemp and Cotton we do not have to run around in the skins of animals anymore....
Is it ok if they are treated and killed humanly?
Not in my opion.....
In Neolithic times it was our only way to survive, and places that are extremely cold then yes many of the inhabitants need to wear fur in order to stay alive, but here in the UK and other parts of the world it is not ok to go and kill animals or worse farm them just for their fur, so that we can look good........
Saying that many shoes are made from leather, so I'm always aware of that issue and will try my hardest to buy man made materials when it comes to my foot wear, which is not easy.....
No Fenrir we are not honoring Nature to kill for fashion and sport, and if we as 'Pagans' or those that follow 'Earth Traditions' do so, then we should be ashamed of ourselves.....

All blood sports should be banned, animals don't kill for pleasure so why should we.
We kill sheep and cattle for food and we can wear the skins as leather we should no waste anything of the animals that give us food, but to kill just for fashion is to me a crime.
