I guess my objection is (to vintage fur and newly minted) that we have to eat to live, including some source of protein, but we don't have to kill animals to decorate ourselves. When mink are electrocuted?, their bodies are not eaten afterwards (as far as I know). Also, we don't need to wear fur to stay warm. Few of us live in environments so severe weatherwise, that only an animal's skin and fur will provide enough insulation against the cold. There are plenty of manmade fabrics that work just as well.
Whereas, most every part of a hooved animal is or can be made useful. I'm currently learning the art of leatherwork.

EDIT: This is just my opinion, an off-the-cuff, not very well thought out one.

These days the toilets in Japan are actually bidets, made by Toto Ltd.

When the contractor put in our toilets, he used some cheap off-brand that is contantly getting clogged. My husband has been surfing the net looking for replacements and he found the 'Toto Drake', made by the U.S. Division of Toto Ltd. The Drake is not a bidet but is considered a superior toilet design.

I really enjoyed that show (Black Donnellys). Paul Haggis directed both the pilot and the first episode, thereafter other people directed the episodes. This has struck me as a mistake, at least until the show has established a solid fanbase. Shows need the continuity of the vision of just one or two people at first. Perhaps Haggis didn't want to wear that many hats. Wasn't he also head writer?
