Many animals being killed to fulfill human desire of using wild animal products like fur, bones, teeth & nail (Tiger). It is absolutely unnecessary to use natural fur when artificial fur is available in the market. We can save these animals from being killed & being EXTINCT ! if we refuse to use wild animal products. What do you think ?

Of course we should save these animals from suffering. We are always puttingour own selfish needs before others so if we stop wearing fur and silk and leather too it is a small step towards helping the animals and becoming better people.

I think it's sad that some people kill animals just to take their fur or tusks. It makes me sick to see shows showing how people kill elephants just to take their tusks, or how they kill gorillas to take their feet and fur. If an animal is used completely (they have alligator farms and such where they are bred to be used for their hides as well as the meat it sold to be eaten) then I tend to look at that a little differently, but for animals in the wild, especially those that are endangered, it is such a waste! Before long there are going to be quite a few species that we will only be able to see in zoos or maybe even just books. Some people are just greedy and will continue to kill animals for profit even when endangered. It's so sad.

Thanks I agree with you. " Earth can feed our needs, but can't feed our greeds " because of this "greed" we already lost too many animals and now we must save to remaining. Animal prducts business fur, tusk etc. is dirty business, many governments tre to stop it. we can also prevent it by awaring people what we loose ( wildlife ) because of this dirty business ! That's all.

I think that is very cruel. We are causing our precious animals to become extinct. Our children are missing the opportunity to get to know the extinct animals and that is a shame. We could take a lesson from the animals. They kill to eat, or if they are challenged or if they are vying over a female to mate with. Man ought take a lesson before he kills our animals off.

My friend there are several products that we do not know are made of animal parts....even very simple things like your billiards balls, carroms strikers are made of ivory. Now that is the extent to which these animal products have entered our lives. You, I and every other man and woman on earth should refuse to use any product containing any animal part...even leather.

In the mid 1800s billiard balls were made from ivory, these days ivory is banned and the billiard industry realized very early on they couldn't continue using it anyway. They use certain strong types of plastic these days.

killing animals is wrong but we can't avoid that because for ur food we cannot avoid killing animals so killing animals we cannot avoid it is impossible

I expect that we should avoid atleast those thing which are not essential in our daily life, or which are only for pleasure or to keep in the showcase
