When you say "acceptable" just how acceptable does it need to be? Are you asking if we would be willing to commit these actions personally or if we are comfortable with others doing this?
You couldn't get me to hunt for food but I find it acceptable for others to do so. That's my example. So, please clarify. Thanks.
If you find it acceptable for anyone, including yourself.
Hmmm. I pray daily to have sex with unmarried people. All the other stuff, I'm not too excited about. Well, that's not true. I like clones and wish I had one.
Please review the list of actions one might be involved with and decide which ones are morally acceptable to you. In other words, which actions could you do with a clear conscience knowing it was perfectly okay morally. Hope that made sense.
The poll is coming! Multiple choice.

OK...who voted for hunting but not wearing fur? How does that even make sense? Why hunt if you're not going to use everything that you kill?
The same goes for the discrepancy between sex outside of wedlock and polygamy....it's a superficial difference at best!
Me. See above.
It's not about killing animals. It's about HOW the animals are killed.
I answered the way I did because, for myself, in the developed world, I am not ok with fur. However, I am ok with a tribesman using it. Again, see my post immediately above.
Although I voted for both fornication and polygamy.

Ok...just to play devil's advocate, what do you propose we do with the hides of animals we kill en masse for food?
Child welfare issues on polygamy, primarily.
Well, to begin with, I have a problem with the way mainstream farms raise and kill animals. So if I had my way, that system would be overhauled entirely. I do not buy any animal products from places like that. I try my best (knowing that there are all kinds of loopholes and I can never be 100% sure) to buy animal products from places with more ethical practices.
If said places with more ethical practices where to skin the animals AFTER a quick and ethical death and use it to produce fur merchandise, I would not have a problem with that.
But that is almost never how fur is sourced in the developed world.
I guess.....I mean, I've never had a Chinchilla burger so I understand where you're coming from but I was kind of looking at the broad spectrum.
Well, for animals killed in mainstream meat markets, I would rather the hides be used than just thrown away. However, I don't consider it to EVER be acceptable to skin the animal alive, which is common practice for fur found in the developed world. If I could only pick one, I would rather the animal be killed quickly and the fur wasted, than skinned alive and the fur used.
