HELLO OTHERKIN/THERIANS/ALTERHUMANS/NONHUMANS/OTHERLINKERS/OTHERPAW!! DO YOU WANT TO BUY AN ETHICAL TAIL BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE? IM HERE TO GIVE YOU TIPS!
Okay I'll stop talking in caps now, but here you have my tail guide for any and all people who just want a tail!
Cruel fur farms treat their animals badly, and it's best to avoid them. Here are some tips on how to spot cruel farms from the ethically sourced ones! (Most tips from here!)
Cruel:
- Sold/Sourced from Asia (Asia has bad animal cruelty laws)
- From Wish, AliExpress, Amazon, Temu or EBay (Even the 'faux fur' ones can be real and cruel)
- If they use stock photos
- Asian lobster clams (This does not always indicate cruelty)
- If they look thin, small, and generally unhealthy
- Any usage of 'mink farms' in desc.
- If they are bleached or colored
- If the price is low (Under 20-25)
- No info about source (Always ask the seller if you're not sure)
Ethical:
- Scraps that were being thrown away otherwise (Should be in item description or FAQ)
- Lived long and happy lives (Item description or FAQ)
- Thick, healthy tails
- Population control/Legal hunters (With a permit)

I know I don't have my wings anymore, I know they were ripped out of me for not following there 'rules'. But why should I be punished for the beauty that I created? Why can I still feel the bumps where they should be, oh do they ache. It feels as if they were still there, and I despise myself for wishing they were.
I desperately want an eddble right now. they make me sleepy yes, but i feel better than when i am sober. I feel less like i want to die 24/4. It makes life so funky.
I used to be at the top, the glory of heven. The top hates the diffrent, for an idea that was so beutiful they threw me down. I will not forgive them, as they will not I for loving my creation in life.
To feel alive, to know i am alive. To know that i am human. I have lost the feeling to be human. I hate myself so much i cant veiw myself as such. I want to know i can be punished and bleed just as much as a human can. To feel myself be alive. To remind myself I am as alive and human as my peers. I so despreatly need to be human.
This may differ between each person. Some people may $H for many diffrent reasons. This is just a big one for me. You never know why someone may do it. I use to do it for control, for control of my life. So dont judge someone for using what ever tool they can to survive. Its a methoud in our toolbox. Its not healthy but its sometimes one of our only tools to cope.
