Human Rights

Animals do not warrant the same respect, dignity, and rights that humans do, but that does not mean that we should not treat animals with compassion. AIS makes a good point.

As importantly, those who argue that animals do not deserve respect, have hardly convinced most people that dogs should be treated as mere tools. Therefore if someone walks down the street with a dog fur coat on, he is forcing others to watch the spectacle, something that is very offensive to most people in the United States and Britain.

Before damaging other people (not just animals) by wearing dog fur coats, you need to convince people that what you are doing is right.

And you have not that. So what you are advocating is wrong.
