it's acceptable to raise over 100 animals in small cages with horrible conditions and then kill them for one fur coat but killing a cat for fun is not, why do you think that is?

Not quite.

Let me explain.

You may have missed it, but i previously made a distinction between when a fur coat can be seen as a necessity and when it's not.

in a case where it is unnecessary, as in when it's done not for survival, but for fun, because it's 'nice' and 'fancy'.

in that context an animal is put through a bad experience because the human thinks the outcome is nice.

And it is the exact same context when it's killing an animal.

If we try to draw a difference between the 2 it becomes not about harming the individual, but rather about a feeling or a principle, so it's about perspective.

In this case it's about the idea 'of beating an animal death for fun' as opposed to the idea of 'reducing cruelty to others'.

Do you get what I'm saying?
