Personally, it absolutely disgusts me to think that anyone could wear the skin/fur of such a beautiful animal that has been killed like that. I don't care if it was killed in the '30s, '40s, or yesterday. It has always, and will always make me sick to my stomach. To me, "vintage" means nothing. I just think it's above and beyond wrong. How do people even think they are worthy of wearing those beautiful animals' skin? No one is.
All I can see when I looked at that ebay picture of the Ocelot fur coat was a beautiful animal being SO UNJUSTLY brutally murdered, for an absolutely ridiculous and selfish reason. Never in my entire life would I even consider wearing the real fur of such a wonderful animal. Wild cats are by far my most favorite animal in the world, any harm that comes to them deeply saddens me. I accidentally stumbled onto a horrifying youtube video of a beautiful wild lynx caught in a foothold trap being shot and killed.. I just about DIED. My heart sank, and I couldn't believe it. I thought it was going to be a cute video of someone just capturing rare footage of a wild lynx up close, but boy was I wrong. Very misleading title.
Anyway, I guess I'm going off-topic a bit. But simply put, no, I would NEVER condone the use of real animal fur for stupid 'fashion'. I would much rather scoop these babies up and love them forever... Yeah, maybe I'm crazy. Whatever.
