No, not at all. You apparently didn't read what I said. To quote:
`you're a fucking moron if you think quality fur comes from mistreated animals`
No quality fur supplier would beat or otherwise torment their animals. The people who actually produce quality goods-- read, NOT the Chinese-- treat their animals with care and respect. A sick, ill-kept, or otherwise poor animal produces poor fur. Minks are not _beaten_ to death in the wild, either. They are caught by foot or neck snares, or in cages, so as to best preserve the quality of their fur.
ok not a big deal i dont think we will ever be advanced enough to invest in foot or neck snares to catch mink anyway...rabbits have a higher utility as you said...i just dont see the point of minks and i was trying to change the subject honestly all i know is a decade ago i saw a man chasing minks on a beach beating them to death...it may not be the most common practice but im worried that that is what it might turn into without untrained people that read an online post and say i should raise minks for fur what could go wrong
Oh, you can make simple snares from twine and a sapling. They're not very advanced at all.
Yeah. I am glad we can agree that rabbits are a higher utility, and don't let decade-old peta videos give you the impression that's at all the norm. Most modern people who deal with utility animals do try to be humane, even if it's not always compassionate.
haha you can make snares but getting the animal to go into it is another case...anyways i didnt want to pretend to be an expert on anything animal related the truth is is that anything animal related is not a sore subject to me but i understand it is for most like how halal butchers are considered inhumane in this day and age....and im not saying you would mistreat animals but if someone does its like the mark of the beast in society and it would really hurt our reputation, especially if we relied some part onhelp from city people who dont know how food makes it to the grocery
Oh, it always is, which is why people farm animals instead of hunt them, most of the time.
True, and I see what you mean on that count, but at the same time we wouldn't necessarily need to use the rabbits for sale to city people. Fur is an amazing insulator, (hats, gloves, etc etc); and the rabbit itself is good to eat and easy to maintain. But, humanely sourced fur is always going to be a commodity, and rabbit's paws and fur caps will generally sell fairly well, even as just novelty items.
if you have experience actually creating these items ...would you mind letting me know the necessary tools you need because i wouldnt assume a regular sowing machine would cut it...assuming youd stitch a liner on a hat or gloves...or is it really full on davey crockett where you just wear the furs
I am actually attempting to learn to stitch furs and leathers. As far as I understand, it depends greatly on the variety of fur you use-- a deerskin jacket/pants/etc will be very different from rabbit mittens or hats. I know certain varieties need leather-and-leather, or you have to use industrial grade needles and thread, while some need awls... But, as it is, I am only learning and am no expert there. Keeping rabbits? Great! I can answer lots. Using furs? Ehm... Working on it. But the degree comes first.
But with a hat, a liner would make it easier to wash, knowing that just from other sewing items.
ok yeah i just looked at your bio... cool stuff yeah id definitely be looking for learn more from you in time...
raising ducks would be useful for selling pillows, especially to hipsterfags
They're also absolutely delicious.
huh
i've never had duck
Try it with jam or marmalade
Personally, I find duck to be too greasy. It'd be great for rendered fat and pillow down.
Had duck the other night, rendered all the fat and saved it. Tried a brine but it was a bit much, still good though.
you can create a system too with hydroponics to use rabbit urine as fertilizer for plants to be even more efficient
@ram3n duck and goat cheese is some top notch stuff
@Roman Dreams how do you milk a duck?
@dsp fries it I wasn't clear-- I like eating duck with goat cheese on top
Also big eggs
Not nearly as many as with chickens though
LOL
No, they are too large and we don't even know what they taste like.
Guard dogs to be replaced with emus. HELL YEAH!
we can ride ostriches around the town as well
If you guys are gonna shitpost, at least do it in <#359497590628417536> or <#359431474572820482> .
@dsp fries it >he thinks ostrich riding is a meme
okay foot walker
@Roman Dreams what if we bred grey wolves to be as big as dire wolves and rode them? It would be super based.
The reason ostriches wouldn't work is the difference in geography and temperature. They would never work in the PNW, maybe arizona but not in a place that receives snow and has a winter low below 10F.
this is a sad truth
We must breed winter ostriches
Aryan ostriches
No joke but I went to the ostrich farm here in az and it was nuts. You don't realize how big those birds are until you're right by them. Dinosaurs are real, and they make amazing jerky.
dinosaurs are a myth and the earth is 6000 years old max
don't believe the science jew
^ also adam lived 800yrs
I actually asked a priest about bible life spans and he said they just used a different calendar
kid me never realized that the modern calendar wouldn't be around thousands of years ago
