Why not? In fairness the animal is long dead and the proceeds could pay for a computer for a school too poor to have one.

Keith I have tried in the past but will gladly look into that again.

My reply was to Jules not H, then Jules deleted the point of hers I was replying to :-\

We can sell things to America John, let them spend their money on a pile of old fur - that money can work wonders over in Turkey.

"H"
Ribeye mentioned that Americans where using them for animal bedding. I was merely letting him know that the market in America as in lots of places around the world for fur is very buoyant and therefore the coats are not worthless as he seemed to think and well worth donating to a Charity who would be glad of them.

I do understand the Fur Market and I am not promoting it. I am explaining it.

In my opinion it is still promoting fur as a good thing to have

In my opinion it is promoting a pile of rank old crap to idiots and using the money to help people.

Ribeye There are places in the U.K. that will buy fur coats.  Look on Google.
This is just one http://www.thefurcoatshop.co.uk/
If you sell them you could donate the money to the Earthquake Fund.

I agree entirely with the fact that it is a pile of old rank etc. But I dont believe in passing it on


While people are selling and promoting the stuff. Animals are dieing in horrific conditions to supply the NEW demand,

Not agreeing with passing on old fur coats could mean people wanting a fur coat need to go to a place that kills animals to get one! Sorry Jules but your opinion on this could cause animal cruelty not prevent it...
