I’m literally on thr verge of tears
This is a general statement, but I feel like I’m always a bit shocked at how big a gap there is in online leftist spaces when it comes to animal rights and the environmental impact of things like the meat industry? And I’ve complained about this before SO much, but places like Tumblr are weirdly really hostile towards critiques of it and really susceptible to company funded propaganda?
Like the food industry is just sooo fucking bad. And honestly, even just reducing the amount of meat you consume significantly lowers your carbon footprint like everybody should eat so much less beef like beef is SO fucking bad for the environment. I just really don’t get it because it’ll be the same people who (rightfully) criticize the use of ai as bad for the environment and it’s like yes so true your hamburger is legitimately worse though by a pretty large margin?????????
I’m so sorry people on twitter are being deadass that fur is a sustainable resource unlike faux fur bc of microplastics like girl that’s simply not how that works omfg you can be covered head to toe in microplastics and it’s still going to be a better option than buying fur 😭
I'm locked down on Twitter, so I can't respond there, but what's your source on the rest of the animal not being used in fur farming?
Google is telling me the opposite - that the rest of the animal is used in things like pet food - but obviously a lot of sources are going to be biased.
I tried to answer this like 3 times yesterday and each time tumblr crashed whenever I tried to add a link so 😭
The tldr version is that the point I was trying to make is that leather is a byproduct of the meat industry while furs like mink and fox are not. If leather was banned tomorrow, the amount of cows dying wouldn’t decrease because that’s not the primary purpose of cattle/dairy farms. If fur was banned, then fur farms would just stop being a thing because that’s the primary purpose of them.
The leftover carcasses after pelting can be utilized in other areas, the main ones being either fuel, shampoos/cosmetics, fertilizer, etc, but they’re not an essential part of any of those products. But there aren’t any hard statistics on what percentage of things like mink are actually processed into other products, and although it can be used for them, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the majority of it is.
That’s largely also because at least in America, there is virtually zero regulation of the fur industry with very little federal oversight. So there aren’t standards for how the rest of the animal should be utilized beyond maybe some local laws about not disposing of them in a way that’s toxic to humans. You might have some places use them for like bait or leather oil, or they could just be incinerating them and calling it a day.
At least with mink, processing it isn’t really very convenient either.
All of that, but also, even if the leftover animals were being used to the highest degree, it doesn’t undo the extremely large environmental impact fur farming has. I have no fucking clue why people on twitter are calling fur a more sustainable option than faux fur because it’s genuinely just super not true? Fur is more environmentally damaging than every other textile and the climate impact it has on other fabric material is barely even comparable.
Like even ignoring anything to do with animal rights and ethics around it, fur farming is just incredibly polluting while being wholly unnecessary for the majority of people.

ITWVtwt on Talamasca: Daniel Molloy has made two off-color jokes and this makes him the most despicable vampire in the Immortal Universe, in this essay I will IWTV Tumblr on Talamasca: Danny boy you old bastard, I've missed your dickishness like a man in the desert misses rain, put 'er there you beautiful sonuvabitch
Daniel's scenes, Talamasca 1.01
basically my opinion on many many things is “you should be allowed to do that and i should be allowed to be uncomfortable with it and the government and law should not be involved in this whatsoever”
Tumblr being the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension site makes sense when you realize that 79% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate. Same goes for Twitter and TikTok.
that's a real high number, sport. where'd you get it?
hey anon
please tell me you didn't google "US literacy rates" and then make the funniest possible mistake one could make in that situation
