I never really gave it much thought but knowing this makes me feel better. But then again, I do wear UGGS and have never had any qualms about it! @MamaMoose: I live in Sweden. I honestly have no idea why babies sleep outside but it's the norm here. People claim babies love it and it makes them sleep better (even during the dead of winter)! I only plan on doing it when the weather's nice and cool, not cold. So the lambskin is only really for walks. But when it's time to put the LO into daycare, they'll have the all the kids nap outside in their pram, regardless of weather. looch on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-147444 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:52:23 +0000 looch 147444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Crumbs: we have a baby lambskin too. It's super soft and keeps babies dry in summer and warm in winter. Washing is a bit of a PITA though. In Europe, sheep are raised for food (yogurt, milk and some meat in addition to cheese) so it's a by product as well, which makes me okay with using it. prettylizy on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146560 Thu, 03 May 2012 17:40:00 +0000 prettylizy 146560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Arden: lol! Clearly I'm a meatatarian. I think to each their own is the best policy.

I'm a vegetarian. :) But I'm not going to freak out over fur, I just don't wear it. If other people want to, that's their business. prettylizy on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146540 Thu, 03 May 2012 17:27:11 +0000 prettylizy 146540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Arden: thanks for the info, I wasn't sure about the difference. I honestly still feel pretty meh about it though. Killing for eating or wearing is still killing.

But I love the look - bring on the faux fur! Arden on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146522 Thu, 03 May 2012 17:17:03 +0000 Arden 146522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @prettylizy: The difference is that leather is typically made from the skin of cows that are already being slaughtered for meat, so the animal isn't being killed specifically for the leather. It's a by-product. Fur is generally what the animal is raised and then killed for. I think that's why people feel differently about the two.

I don't think that it's really "animal abuse" so I'm just "eh" about it. But I don't wear fur or necessarily care for the look of it, so i wouldn't say I'm a fur-lover. @Crumbs: oooh I love lambskin rugs! soooo soft. Grace on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146440 Thu, 03 May 2012 16:01:21 +0000 Grace 146440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I like the softness of fur, but I don't really like the look of a fur coat. I guess you could categorize me as ambivalent.

LOL. I don't think I could ever buy or afford real fur. Although, I did eye some really cute (and expensive) UGG boots when I saw them in the store. What's the deal with them? They are from sheep, right? purrpletulips on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146353 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:46:56 +0000 purrpletulips 146353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love the smell of freshly licked cat fur (strange I know). Also love fur if it is on the animal which God placed it on; don't like when people wear fur.

And why do babies sleep outside?? I'm very intrigued by your post!

I have had a couple vest with faux fur but that's it. Never really thought about it and refuse to watch Peta videos. I understand the message they are trying to get across but think the way they go about it is a little too intense for my liking! mediagirl on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146310 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:31:50 +0000 mediagirl 146310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't know enough to be anti (I refuse to watch anything on the processing of it) but I'm not anti other people wearing fur. For where I live, it would be ridiculous to have fur, I'd get to wear it like once a year.

Now that I live in a much colder climate, I'm surprised about my new attitude -- don't get me wrong, I'm not about to buy a fur coat anytime soon but I am eyeing a lambskin rug for the baby. My plan is to buy it for the stroller/pram. It's soft and warm (plus babies sleep outside in the winter here). I would have never thought I'd buy any loose animal skins for myself, especially not for a baby but it's pretty practical around these parts.

But they were given to me by my grandmother and purchased by her long ago. I don't think I'd ever feel comfortable buying a fur coat, but I'm also not going to not use the ones I have. (Although I don't use them at the moment because I moved to TN but I will be taking them back from my mom when I move back to Mass!) yoursilverlining on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146198 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:37:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 146198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don’t support or buy any products where torturing animals or people is part of the method of production.

Im in the southern most part of Canada so it's doesn't get very cold here, but when my sister lived in Ottawa she wore it often to keep warm. To me,anti fur should be anti leather too..... What's the difference?

I don't think it's ever cold enough for it in TX. chopsuey on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146128 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:07:58 +0000 chopsuey 146128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @artbee: haha. i love the fur on my pup too. especially his head. heffalump on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146124 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:05:31 +0000 heffalump 146124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I like fur on my pup and that's about it. chopsuey on "How do you feel about fur?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-fur#post-146123 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:01:56 +0000 chopsuey 146123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think fur coats, wraps, etc are beautiful and feel amazing. I'm anti the process though and don't own any fur! No faux fur either. I saw a PETA video many moons ago and was really traumatized.
