Hannibal Chau and mink coats
Aug. 24th, 2013 06:08 pmMy life is full of moral conundrums right now.
( Pacific Rim, discussion of racism, whitewashing )
And my dad has also offered me my grandmother's old mink coat. She died last year, but they're just on the points of selling her house so they're just finishing sorting through her stuff now. I don't agree with fur, obviously, but it's not like I'd be buying a new one and contributing to supply and demand. On the other hand, I do think wearing fur is kind of an advertisement for it. But I also don't like things going to waste when they still do their job, and how many people can say they own an antique mink coat? But if I hate the way the coat was made, why would I like the product? Also, where would I even wear a mink coat? Also, will the coat even fit me? It seemed a little forward to check about that when I hadn't decided if I would morally like to own a mink coat. I will probably not take the mink coat.
Hmm. This is life, I suppose.
