Ethical conflict
5 years ago
I'm a hunter. I kill other animals for my meat. However, there is much of the animal that I do not use. I leave the guts for other animals (bar heart and liver, those are food), but the skin and bones typically go in the trash after the hanging and butchering respectively. I'm trying to find ways to incorporate more of the animals into my life, such as tanning and bonework. One idea I had was to incorporate bones into my fursuits. Note that the animals I kill are not, and never will be, used exclusively, or even primarily, for decoration. I only kill food (and those fuckers that eat my garden, but that's different). So I guess I'm wondering if, since the animal is killed to feed me, can I craft fursuiting accessories from the skin, bones, claws, and teeth (yes, some of my food has claws, bear is yummy)....
